  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ST037 - The users were activated ?

    The SAP error message ST037, which states "The users were activated," typically occurs in the context of user management and authorization in SAP systems. This message indicates that there is an issue related to user activation, which can affect user access and authorization.

    Cause:

    1. User Activation Issues: The error may arise when a user account is activated but not properly configured or has missing authorizations.
    2. Profile Issues: The user might not have the necessary profiles assigned, or the profiles may not be correctly configured.
