  The SAP error message CNV_PE_TPM109 typically indicates an authorization issue related to the use of the SAP Data Migration or Conversion tools, particularly in the context of the SAP S/4HANA migration or other data transfer processes. This error suggests that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to perform the action they are attempting.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user executing the transaction or program does not have the required authorizations assigned in their user profile.
  Role Assignment: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction or data migration task.
  Missing Authorization Objects: Certain authorization objects required for the operation may not be included in the user's roles.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to analyze the authorization check that failed. This will provide insights into which specific authorization object is missing.
  
  
  
  Review User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction SU01 to check the user’s roles and authorizations. Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles assigned that include the necessary permissions for the data migration tasks.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the required authorizations are missing, you may need to modify the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorization objects. This can be done using transaction PFCG.
  Ensure that the role includes the relevant authorization objects for data migration, such as S_DATASET, S_TABU_DIS, and others that may be relevant to the specific migration task.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the roles or authorizations, log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, try to execute the transaction again.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
