• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_20800002 - No authorization in execution system ?

  The SAP error message CNV_20800002: No authorization in execution system typically occurs during data migration or conversion processes, particularly when using SAP's tools for data migration, such as the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit or other conversion tools. This error indicates that the user executing the migration does not have the necessary authorizations in the target system to perform the required actions.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user account being used to execute the migration does not have the necessary roles or authorizations assigned in the target SAP system.
  Missing Roles: The required roles for data migration or specific transactions are not assigned to the user.
  System Configuration: The target system may have specific configurations or restrictions that limit user actions.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Log in to the target SAP system with the user account that is encountering the error.
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check for authorization failures. This transaction will show you which authorizations are missing.
  
  
  
  Assign Required Roles:
  
  Work with your SAP security team to ensure that the user has the necessary roles assigned. Common roles for data migration might include:
  
  SAP_ALL (for testing purposes only, not recommended for production)
  Specific roles related to data migration or the specific transactions being executed.
  
  
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Identify the specific authorization objects that are missing based on the output from SU53 and ensure that the user has the necessary permissions for those objects.
  
  
  
  Test with a Different User:
  
  If possible, try executing the migration with a different user account that is known to have the necessary authorizations to see if the issue persists.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation related to the specific migration tool you are using to ensure that you are aware of all required authorizations.
  
  
  
  Contact SAP Support:
