  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CJ721 - The profile entered is in the SAP name range ?

    The SAP error message CJ721 indicates that the profile you are trying to use is within the SAP name range, which means it is reserved for SAP standard profiles. This error typically occurs when you attempt to assign a profile that is not intended for customer use or is already defined by SAP.

    Cause:

    1. Profile Name Conflict: The profile name you are trying to use starts with a character or string that is reserved for SAP standard profiles. SAP has specific naming conventions, and certain prefixes are reserved for its own use.
    2. Incorrect Profile Assignment: You may be trying to assign a profile that is not meant for the specific context or transaction you are working with.

    Solution:

    1. Use a Custom Profile: Create a new profile with a name that does not fall within the SAP reserved name range. Typically, customer-defined profiles should start with a character that is not reserved (e.g., letters A-Z, or a specific prefix defined by your organization).
    2. Check Existing Profiles: Review the existing profiles in your system to ensure you are not trying to use a profile that is already defined by SAP. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., transaction code PFCG for role maintenance).
    3. Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's naming conventions for profiles to ensure compliance with naming standards.
    4. Contact SAP Support: If you believe the profile should be valid or if you need further assistance, consider reaching out to SAP support for guidance.

    Related Information:

    • SAP Naming Conventions: Familiarize yourself with SAP's naming conventions for profiles and other objects to avoid similar issues in the future.
    • Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like PFCG (Role Maintenance) or SU01 (User Maintenance) to manage profiles and roles effectively.
    • Custom Development: If you are developing custom profiles, ensure that they are properly documented and follow the naming conventions to prevent conflicts with SAP standard profiles.

    By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the CJ721 error and successfully manage your profiles in SAP.
