  Missing Privileges: The user does not have the EXECUTE privilege on the specified procedure.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the Procedure: Determine which procedure is causing the error. The error message will indicate the procedure name (represented as &1).
  
  
  Check User Privileges:
  
  Log in to the HANA database using a user with administrative privileges.
  Execute the following SQL command to check the privileges assigned to the user (represented as &2):
  SELECT * FROM "SYS"."GRANTED_PRIVILEGES" WHERE "GRANTEE" = '<username>';
  
  
  
  
  Grant EXECUTE Privilege:

  Replace <schema_name>, <procedure_name>, and <username> with the appropriate values.
  
  
  
  Role Assignment:
  
  If the privileges are part of a role, ensure that the role is assigned to the user. You can check the roles assigned to the user with:
  SELECT * FROM "SYS"."USER_ROLES" WHERE "USER_NAME" = '<username>';
  
  If the role is not assigned, you can assign it using:
  GRANT "<role_name>" TO "<username>";
  
  
  
  
  Testing: After making the changes, have the user attempt to execute the procedure again to verify that the issue is resolved.
