How To Fix ACMTOOL011 - HTTP error: &1&2&3&4 (see long text)

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: ACMTOOL - ACMTOOL Message Class

• Message number: 011

• Message text: HTTP error: &1&2&3&4 (see long text)

What causes this issue?

You have chosen to execute the ACM Runtime Simulator with the
combination of enforcement layer "Database Interface" and user for
authorization query "Other User".
For this combination, the database selection is executed in a separate
session. The tool uses a local HTTP connection to an ICF service for
this purpose.
Communication over this HTTP connection failed.

System Response

The requested function was not executed.

How to fix this error?

As application user, you can avoid the use of the HTTP connection by one
of the following alternatives:
Switch to enforcement layer "Application Code". This will still allow
you to simulate the data selection for a different user name and see the
assigned authorizations, the SQL trace of the statement and row number
counters, however you will not be able to see the selected data.
Log on to the system with the user under test. Provided this user has
the technical authorizations to execute transaction SACMSEL, you can
then work without "Other User".

Procedure for System Administrators

This section lists some reasons for failure.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

<ZH>ICF Service is Disabled</>
The ICF service that is used for the SACMSEL tool session switch,
<ZK>/sap/bc/sec/acm_test</>, is not enabled.
When the service is disabled as part of a security strategy, it is left
to your discretion to wage the risk of opening it against the available
workarounds for application users.
<ZH>System does not Allow Password Logon</>
The authentication as another user is realized by using password
authentication.
When password logon is not possible in the system, the function is not
possible.
<ZH>ICF Service uses Alias Logon, but User has no Alias</>
The chosen user need an alias in user management to be able to access
the ICF service.
<ZH>Connection Issues</>
The connection to the own system over the HTTP channel could not be
established or timed out.
The message contains the URL of the connection request. You can use it
to reproduce the issue. Note that the request originates from the
application server where the code is executed, not from the frontend.
SACMSEL uses two separate requests with different timeouts. At first, a
test call with a timeout of 3 seconds is attempted. When it succeeds,
the business call with the potentially long-lasting data selection is
executed with a timeout of 300 seconds.
