• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSO586 - Creation of appends not allowed for content activation user ?

  The SAP error message RSO586, which states "Creation of appends not allowed for content activation user," typically occurs during the activation of content in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when the system attempts to create append structures for InfoObjects or DataStore Objects (DSOs) but is unable to do so due to restrictions on the user account being used.
  Cause:
  
  User Authorization: The user account that is being used for content activation does not have the necessary authorizations to create append structures. This is often the case when the user is a content activation user, which is typically a service user with limited permissions.
  System Settings: The system may be configured to restrict certain operations for content activation users to prevent unintended changes to the data model.
  Transport Layer: If the content is being activated in a system that is part of a transport layer, there may be restrictions on what can be modified or created.
  
  Solution:
  
  Use a Different User: Instead of using the content activation user, try using a user account that has the necessary authorizations to create append structures. This user should have the appropriate roles assigned that allow for data modeling and object creation.
  Check Authorizations: Review the authorizations of the content activation user. Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to create append structures. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to adjust the roles and authorizations.
  Adjust System Settings: If applicable, check the system settings or configuration that may be preventing the creation of append structures. This may involve consulting with your SAP Basis or BW team.
  Manual Activation: If the automatic activation fails, consider manually activating the content using a user with the appropriate permissions.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on content activation issues.
  Documentation: Review the SAP BW documentation for information on user roles and authorizations related to content activation.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) for managing and activating content in SAP BW.
