• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS2HANA_AUTH142 - Deleting &1... ?

  The SAP error message RS2HANA_AUTH142 typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when there are authorization issues related to the deletion of objects in the HANA database. This error indicates that the user does not have the necessary permissions to delete the specified object.
  Cause:
  The error is primarily caused by insufficient authorizations for the user trying to perform the delete operation. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user lacks the necessary roles or authorizations to delete the specific object in the HANA database.
  Object Locking: The object may be locked by another process or user, preventing deletion.
  Incorrect User Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned the correct roles that include delete permissions for the relevant objects.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RS2HANA_AUTH142 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to delete the object. This can be done by checking the roles assigned to the user in the SAP system.
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate privileges in the HANA database, particularly for the schema where the object resides.
  
  
  
  Assign Missing Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required roles, assign the necessary roles that include delete permissions. This may involve working with your SAP security team to ensure the user has the correct access.
  
  
  
  Check for Object Locks:
  
  Investigate if the object is locked by another user or process. You can use transaction codes like SM12 to check for locks in the SAP system.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to authorization issues in BW and HANA to ensure compliance with best practices.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to authorizations, test the delete operation again to confirm that the issue has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like SU53 (to analyze authorization failures) and SU01 (to manage user roles) to troubleshoot authorization issues.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address specific issues related to RS2HANA_AUTH142 or similar authorization errors.
  HANA Studio: If you have access to HANA Studio, you can also check user privileges directly in the HANA database.
  
  If the problem persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or security team for further investigation.
