• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /MOC/CONFIG153 - PFCG role &1 does not exist ?

  The SAP error message /MOC/CONFIG153 PFCG role &1 does not exist typically indicates that the system is trying to reference a PFCG (Profile Generator) role that is not found in the system. This can occur in various scenarios, such as during authorization checks, role assignments, or when executing certain transactions that require specific roles.
  Cause:
  
  Role Deletion: The role referenced in the error message may have been deleted or never created.
  Incorrect Role Name: There might be a typo or incorrect role name being referenced in the configuration or transaction.
  Transport Issues: If the role was transported from another system, it may not have been included in the transport request or may not have been imported correctly.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or access the role, leading to the perception that it does not exist.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Verify Role Existence:
  
  Go to transaction PFCG and check if the role exists. If it does not, you may need to create it or restore it from a backup if it was deleted.
  
  
  
  Check for Typos:
  
  Ensure that the role name being referenced is correct. Look for any spelling mistakes or incorrect case sensitivity.
  
  
  
  Transport Check:
  
  If the role was supposed to be transported, check the transport logs to ensure it was included and imported correctly. You may need to re-transport the role if it was missed.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the role. You can check the user’s authorizations in transaction SU01.
  
  
  
  Role Assignment:
  
  If the role is required for a specific user or group, ensure that it is assigned correctly. You can do this in transaction PFCG by editing the role and assigning it to the appropriate users or user groups.
  
  
  
  System Consistency:
  
  If the issue persists, consider running consistency checks or consulting with your SAP Basis team to ensure that the system is in a consistent state.
