• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HH065 - Specified directory cannot be read (due to missing authorizations etc.) ?

  The SAP error message HH065, which states "Specified directory cannot be read (due to missing authorizations etc.)," typically occurs when the SAP system is unable to access a specified directory on the file system. This can be due to various reasons, primarily related to authorization issues or incorrect directory paths.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user or the SAP application server may not have the necessary permissions to read the specified directory.
  Incorrect Directory Path: The path specified in the configuration may be incorrect or may not exist.

  Operating System Permissions: The underlying operating system may have restrictions that prevent access to the directory.
  SAP Profile Parameters: The parameters related to file handling in the SAP profile may not be set correctly.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user or the SAP application server has the necessary authorizations to access the directory. This can be done by checking the user roles and authorizations in the SAP system.
  Use transaction code SU53 to analyze authorization failures after attempting to access the directory.
