• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EEDM_CALC_INST106 - Job &2 could not be released (possibly no authorization) ?

  The SAP error message EEDM_CALC_INST106 indicates that a job (in this case, identified as &2) could not be released due to a possible lack of authorization. This error typically occurs in the context of background job processing in SAP, particularly when dealing with data management or calculation jobs.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting to release the job does not have the necessary authorizations. This could be due to missing roles or permissions in the user's profile.
  Job Status: The job may be in a status that does not allow it to be released, such as being in a "scheduled" or "inactive" state.
  Job Ownership: The job may be owned by a different user, and the current user does not have the rights to release jobs owned by others.
  System Configuration: There may be system settings or configurations that restrict job releases based on certain criteria.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Verify the user's authorizations using transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs. This will show the last authorization check and help identify what is missing.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary roles assigned that include permissions for job management (e.g., S_BTCH_ADM for background job administration).
  
  
  
  Review Job Status:
  
  Use transaction SM37 to check the status of the job. Ensure that it is in a state that allows it to be released (e.g., "Scheduled" or "Released").
  If the job is in a "Canceled" or "Finished" state, it may need to be re-created or re-scheduled.
  
  
  
  Job Ownership:
  
  Check who owns the job. If the job is owned by another user, you may need to either have that user release the job or have the necessary permissions to manage jobs owned by others.
  
  
  
  Consult with Basis Team:
  
  If the issue persists, consult with your SAP Basis team or system administrator. They can check system logs and configurations that may be affecting job releases.
  
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  Use transaction SM36 to create or modify jobs and ensure that the job is set up correctly.
  Use transaction SM37 to monitor job status and history.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with relevant authorization objects such as S_BTCH_ADM (Background Job Administration) and S_BTCH_JOB (Background Job Management).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to job management and authorization errors.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation on background job processing for best practices and troubleshooting steps.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
