  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PF736 - The profile & was successfully generated ?

    The SAP error message PF736 indicates that a profile was successfully generated, but it may not be functioning as expected due to various reasons. This message is typically related to the generation of user profiles in the SAP system, particularly in the context of authorization profiles.

    Cause:

    1. Profile Generation Issues: The profile may have been generated without errors, but there could be issues with the authorizations assigned to it.
    2. Missing Authorizations: The generated profile might not contain the necessary authorizations for the user or role it is intended for.
    3. Profile Assignment: The profile may not be correctly assigned to the user or role in the system.
    4. Transport Issues: If the profile was transported from one system to another, there might be inconsistencies or missing objects.

    Solution:

    1. Check Profile Contents: Review the contents of the generated profile to ensure that it includes the necessary authorizations. You can do this using transaction code PFCG (Profile Generator).
    2. Reassign Profile: If the profile is not assigned correctly, reassign it to the relevant user or role.
    3. Generate Profile Again: If you suspect that the profile was not generated correctly, you can regenerate it. Use transaction PFCG to do this.
    4. Authorization Check: Use transaction SU53 to check for authorization failures after the profile has been assigned. This will help identify any missing authorizations.
    5. Transport Check: If the profile was transported, ensure that all necessary objects were included in the transport request and that they were imported correctly in the target system.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes:
      • PFCG: Role Maintenance
      • SU53: Display Authorization Check
      • SUIM: User Information System
    • Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on authorization profiles and role management.
    • SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address specific issues related to profile generation or authorization problems.

    If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or Security team for further investigation.
