• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSTRAN804 - No authorization for source &1 &2 ?

  The SAP error message RSTRAN804 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to access a specific source system or object in the context of data transfer or extraction. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when trying to execute a data transfer process (DTP) or when accessing data from a source system.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by a lack of authorization for the user to access the specified source system or object. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required roles or authorizations assigned to access the source system or the specific data object.
  Incorrect Role Assignment: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary authorizations for the specific data source or extraction process.
  Source System Configuration: The source system may not be properly configured to allow access for the user.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSTRAN804 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG.
  
  
  
  Assign Necessary Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, assign the appropriate roles that include access to the source system and the necessary data objects.
  Ensure that the roles are correctly configured to include the necessary authorizations for data extraction.
  
  
  
  Review Source System Settings:
  
  Check the configuration of the source system in transaction RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) to ensure that it is set up correctly and that the user has access to it.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to ensure that the user is granted the necessary access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the data transfer process again to ensure that the error is resolved.
