• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EEDM_CALC_INST158 - You are not authorized to delete calculation triggers ?

  The SAP error message EEDM_CALC_INST158 indicates that a user is attempting to delete calculation triggers but does not have the necessary authorization to perform this action. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Data Management or SAP BW (Business Warehouse) environments where calculation triggers are used to manage data processing.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorization in the user's role or profile. In SAP, access to certain functions, including the ability to delete calculation triggers, is controlled by authorization objects. If the user does not have the required permissions, they will encounter this error when trying to perform the action.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify the user's current roles and authorizations. This can be done by using transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs. This transaction will show the last authorization check and can help identify which specific authorization is missing.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  The relevant authorization objects for managing calculation triggers may include:
  
  S_TCODE (Transaction Code)
  S_DEVELOP (Development Authorization)
  S_DATASET (Authorization for Data Sets)
  
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations related to these objects.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the required permissions. This typically requires access to transaction PFCG (Profile Generator) to manage roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or system administrator. They can assist in reviewing and updating the user's authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user's authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new permissions take effect. Then, attempt to delete the calculation trigger again.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP's official documentation for detailed information on authorization objects and roles.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional context.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SE93 (for transaction codes), SU01 (for user maintenance), and PFCG (for role maintenance).
