  The SAP error message ESH_AU_AUTHORIZATION007 indicates that the profile parameter auth/new_buffering is not set for immediate update. This error typically arises in the context of authorization checks, particularly when using the Enterprise Search (ESH) functionality in SAP.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the system is configured to use a buffering mechanism for authorization checks, but the necessary profile parameter for immediate updates is not enabled. This can lead to inconsistencies in authorization checks, especially in environments where changes to authorizations are frequent.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you need to set the profile parameter auth/new_buffering to enable immediate updates. Here’s how you can do that:
  
  
  Access the SAP system: Log in to your SAP system with appropriate administrative privileges.
  
  
  Open the RZ10 transaction: This transaction is used to maintain profile parameters.
  
  
  Select the profile: Choose the instance profile that you want to modify. You may need to check which profile is currently active for your instance.
  
  
  Edit the profile: Add or modify the parameter:
  
  Set auth/new_buffering to 1 (to enable immediate updates).
  If you want to disable it, you can set it to 0.
  
  
  
  Save the changes: After making the changes, save the profile.
  
  
  Restart the SAP instance: For the changes to take effect, you will need to restart the SAP instance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal or the SAP Notes related to authorization buffering for more detailed information on how this parameter affects authorization checks.
  Testing: After making the changes, test the authorization checks to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the system behaves as expected.
  Performance Considerations: Be aware that enabling immediate updates may have performance implications, especially in systems with a high volume of authorization changes. Monitor the system performance after making this change.
  
  Additional Notes:
  
  Always ensure that you have a backup of your current profile settings before making changes.
  If you are unsure about making these changes, consult with your SAP Basis team or a qualified SAP consultant to avoid any unintended consequences.
