• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SY390 - You are not authorized to call the OLE application &1 ?

  The SAP error message SY390, which states "You are not authorized to call the OLE application &1," typically occurs when a user attempts to access an OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) application from within SAP but does not have the necessary authorizations to do so. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when trying to export data to Excel or when using other OLE-enabled applications.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization to access the OLE application specified in the error message.
  Missing or Incorrect User Roles: The user’s role may not include the necessary permissions to interact with OLE applications.
  System Configuration: The SAP system may not be configured correctly to allow OLE calls.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check for missing authorizations.
  Review the user’s roles and profiles in transaction SU01 or PFCG to ensure that the necessary authorizations for OLE applications are included.
  
  
  
  Adjust User Roles:
  
  If the required authorizations are missing, you may need to add them to the user’s role. This typically involves adding the relevant authorization objects related to OLE access.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to modify roles, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Check System Settings:
  
  Ensure that the SAP system is configured to allow OLE calls. This may involve checking system parameters or settings related to OLE integration.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to authorizations or roles, test the functionality again to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Common authorization objects related to OLE applications include S_OLE and S_TCODE. Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for these objects.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific issues or patches related to OLE applications and authorizations.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation for detailed information on OLE integration and authorization management.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, further investigation may be required, potentially involving SAP support or consulting services.
