  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSM907 - You do not have authorization for the data transfer process ?

    The SAP error message RSM907, which states "You do not have authorization for the data transfer process," typically indicates that the user attempting to execute a data transfer process (DTP) does not have the necessary authorizations to perform that action. This can occur in various contexts, such as when working with SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BW/4HANA.

    Cause:

    1. Missing Authorizations: The user lacks the required authorizations in their user profile to execute the DTP.
    2. Role Assignment: The user may not have been assigned the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations for the DTP.
    3. Authorization Objects: Specific authorization objects related to data transfer processes may not be included in the user's roles.
    4. Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly configured or may have been changed recently, leading to a loss of access.

    Solution:

    1. Check User Authorizations:

      • Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check which authorizations are missing.
      • This transaction will show the last authorization check and can help identify the specific missing authorizations.
    2. Review Roles and Profiles:

      • Go to transaction PFCG to review the roles assigned to the user.
      • Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for executing DTPs.
    3. Add Required Authorizations:

      • If you identify missing authorizations, you may need to add them to the user's role or create a new role that includes the necessary authorizations.
      • Common authorization objects related to DTPs include:
        • S_BI_WA (Authorizations for BI Workbench)
        • S_BI_DTP (Authorizations for Data Transfer Processes)
    4. Consult with Security Team:

      • If you do not have the necessary permissions to modify roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
    5. Testing:

      • After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
      • Test the DTP again to confirm that the issue has been resolved.

    Related Information:

    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to authorization errors in DTPs.
    • Documentation: Review SAP documentation on authorization management and data transfer processes for more detailed information on required authorizations.
    • Transaction Codes:
      • SU01: User maintenance
      • SU53: Authorization check analysis
      • PFCG: Role maintenance
      • RSECADMIN: Authorization management for BW

    By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the RSM907 error and successfully execute the data transfer process.
