• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSOS_SEARCH233 - TAB_ALIAS of authorization field is wrong (current is &2, should be &3) ?

  The SAP error message RSOS_SEARCH233 indicates an issue with the authorization field in a query or report. Specifically, it states that the current value of the authorization field (represented by &2) does not match the expected value (represented by &3). This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when there is a mismatch in the authorization settings for a particular query or data source.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Mismatch: The user executing the query does not have the necessary authorizations for the data being accessed. This can happen if the user’s role does not include access to the specific data or if the data has been changed since the last authorization check.
  Data Source Changes: If the underlying data source or the structure of the query has changed (e.g., changes in InfoObjects, InfoProviders, or queries), it may lead to discrepancies in the expected authorization fields.
  Incorrect Role Assignment: The user may not have the correct roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations for the fields in question.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations: Verify the user’s roles and authorizations in the SAP system. Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to access the data related to the authorization field in question.
  
  Use transaction code SU53 to analyze the last authorization check for the user. This will show which authorizations are missing.
  Use transaction code PFCG to review and modify roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Query Design: Check the design of the query or report to ensure that it is correctly set up to reference the appropriate authorization fields. If there have been changes to the data model, ensure that the query reflects those changes.
  
  
  Update Authorization Objects: If the authorization objects related to the query have changed, you may need to update the roles to include the new or modified authorization objects.
  
  
  Test with Different User: If possible, test the query with a different user who has known good authorizations to determine if the issue is specific to the original user.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific error message for any additional guidance or known issues.
