• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SN602 - You do not have authorization for the old dump analysis ?

  The SAP error message SN602, which states "You do not have authorization for the old dump analysis," typically indicates that the user attempting to access the old dump analysis tool does not have the necessary authorizations assigned to their user profile.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorizations in the user's role or profile. The old dump analysis tool is used to analyze runtime errors (short dumps) in SAP, and access to this tool is restricted to users with specific authorizations to ensure that sensitive information is protected.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify the user's current authorizations using transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs. This transaction will show the last authorization check and can help identify which specific authorization is missing.
  
  
  
  Assign Required Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you will need to assign the appropriate roles that include access to the old dump analysis. The relevant authorization object is typically S_DUMP (Authorization for Dump Analysis).
  The specific activity that needs to be allowed is usually 01 (Display).
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change user roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or system administrator. They can review and adjust the user's roles accordingly.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After the necessary authorizations have been assigned, ask the user to log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, have them attempt to access the old dump analysis again.
