• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_DSM043 - Authorization check for retrieving XML from managed system failed ?

  The SAP error message FDT_DSM043 indicates that there is an authorization issue when trying to retrieve XML data from a managed system. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Data Services or SAP Landscape Management (LaMa) when the system is unable to access the required XML data due to insufficient permissions.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user account being used to access the managed system does not have the necessary authorizations to retrieve XML data.
  Role Assignment: The roles assigned to the user may not include the required permissions for the specific actions being attempted.
  Configuration Issues: There may be misconfigurations in the system that prevent proper authorization checks from being performed.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the FDT_DSM043 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Log in to the managed system with a user that has administrative privileges.
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization failure details. This will show you which specific authorizations are missing.
  
  
  
  Assign Required Roles:
  
  Identify the roles that include the necessary authorizations for XML retrieval.
  Assign these roles to the user account that is encountering the error. Common roles that may be required include:
  
  SAP_BC_FDT_ADMIN
  SAP_BC_FDT_USER
  
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for the specific actions they are trying to perform.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Check the relevant authorization objects that are associated with the roles. Common objects that may be relevant include:
  
  S_DATASET (for file access)
  S_USER_AUTH (for user authorizations)
  
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for these objects.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to the SAP documentation for the specific application or module you are working with to understand the required authorizations better.
