• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SUSR_DBMS017 - DBMS user &1 is assigned to ABAP user &2, but DBMS user does not exist ?

  The SAP error message SUSR_DBMS017 indicates that there is a mismatch between the database user and the ABAP user in the SAP system. Specifically, it means that the ABAP user is assigned to a database user that does not exist in the database.
  Cause:
  
  Database User Deletion: The database user that was previously assigned to the ABAP user has been deleted or does not exist in the database.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration for the ABAP user may have been set incorrectly, pointing to a non-existent database user.
  Transport Issues: If the user assignments were transported from another system, the database user may not have been created in the target system.
  Manual Changes: Manual changes to user assignments or database configurations may have led to this inconsistency.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Database User:
  
  Verify if the database user mentioned in the error message exists in the database. You can do this by connecting to the database directly and checking the user list.
  
  
  
  Create the Database User:
  
  If the database user does not exist, you will need to create it. This can typically be done using database administration tools or SQL commands, depending on the database system (e.g., Oracle, SQL Server, etc.).
  
  
  
  Reassign the User:
  
  If the database user should not be created, you can reassign the ABAP user to a valid existing database user. This can be done in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) in SAP:
  
  Go to the "Logon Data" tab.
  Change the "DB User" field to a valid database user.
  
  
  
  
  
  Check Transport Requests:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport requests to ensure that all necessary objects, including database users, were included and correctly transported.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to user management and database user assignments for additional guidance.
  
  
  
  System Administrator:
  
  If you are not able to resolve the issue, consult your SAP Basis administrator or support team for assistance.
