• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BW4_REST_FRMWRK020 - No authorization to upload data ?

  The SAP error message BW4_REST_FRMWRK020 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to upload data in the SAP BW (Business Warehouse) system. This error typically occurs when trying to perform data uploads via the BW REST framework.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorizations assigned to the user attempting to perform the upload. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Objects: The user may not have the required authorization objects assigned to their user profile.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for data upload activities.
  Data Source Restrictions: The specific data source being used for the upload may have restrictions that prevent certain users from uploading data.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check which authorization checks failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorizations are missing.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Go to transaction code PFCG to review the roles assigned to the user. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for data upload activities in BW.

  S_BW_BCT: Authorizations for BW data transfer.
  S_BW_TD: Authorizations for data transfer processes.
  S_BW_DSO: Authorizations for DataStore Objects.
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to modify roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to ensure that the user is granted the appropriate access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, perform a test upload to confirm that the issue has been resolved.
