• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS2HANA_AUTH118 - Error while reading calculation view model ?

  The SAP error message RS2HANA_AUTH118 typically occurs when there are authorization issues related to accessing a calculation view in SAP HANA. This error indicates that the user does not have the necessary permissions to read the calculation view model.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user executing the query does not have the required authorizations to access the calculation view or the underlying data sources.
  Missing Roles: The user may not have been assigned the appropriate roles that grant access to the calculation view.
  Object Privileges: The necessary object privileges (like SELECT) on the calculation view or the underlying tables/views may not be granted to the user.
  HANA Security Settings: Security settings in HANA may restrict access to certain objects based on user roles.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify the roles assigned to the user in the SAP HANA system.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary roles that include access to the calculation view.
  
  
  
  Grant Required Privileges:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary privileges, you can grant them using SQL commands or through the SAP HANA Studio.
  For example, to grant SELECT privilege on a calculation view, you can use:
  GRANT SELECT ON "schema_name"."calculation_view_name" TO "user_name";
  
  
  
  
  Review Role Definitions:
  
  Check the role definitions to ensure that they include the necessary privileges for the calculation view and any underlying objects.
  If roles are managed centrally, ensure that the changes are propagated correctly.
  
  
  
  Test Access:
  
  After making changes, test the access by executing the query again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation for detailed information on authorization concepts in HANA and how to manage roles and privileges.
