How To Fix WP3ROLES045 - Long object name passed with syntax with errors

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: WP3ROLES - Portal Role Maintenance

• Message number: 045

• Message text: Long object name passed with syntax with errors

What causes this issue?

SAP Enterprise Portal has transferred a portal role name or a service
name that uses a long name. The syntax to transfer the long name was
violated.

System Response

The data is collected and displayed as best possible, but it might
differ from the information that should be transferred.
For a portal role name, this message is a warning only.
If this error occurs for a service name, this service is ignored when
you create or update an authorization role, because incorrect data
could be created.

How to fix this error?

Contact your system administrator.

Procedure for System Administrators

This is the result of an inconsistency in the data transferred from the
enterprise portal.
The database tables WP3ROLEDEFLONG/WP3ROLEUSRHLONG/WP3ROLESRVLONG
contain entries with key fields &V1& &V2& &V3& which violate the syntax
rules for these entries (distance between REMAINING_LEN fields must be
132).

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WP3ROLES045 - Long object name passed with syntax with errors ?

  The SAP error message:
  WP3ROLES045: Long object name passed with syntax with errors
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when a long object name (such as a role name, user name, or other authorization object) is passed to a function or transaction, but the syntax of the name is incorrect or does not conform to the expected format. In particular, the system expects object names to follow certain naming conventions or length restrictions, and if these are violated, the syntax check fails.
  Common causes include:
  
  Passing a role or object name longer than the allowed length.
  Including invalid characters or spaces in the object name.
  Using an incorrect format or syntax for the object name in the input.
  Copy-pasting names with hidden or special characters.
  Programmatic errors where the object name is constructed incorrectly.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check the Object Name Length and Format:
  
  Verify that the object name does not exceed the maximum allowed length.
  Ensure the name contains only valid characters (usually alphanumeric and underscores).
  Remove any spaces or special characters.
  
  
  
  Correct the Syntax:
  
  If entering manually, retype the name carefully.
  If the name is generated by a program or script, debug the code to ensure the name is constructed correctly.
  
  
  
  Use Standard Naming Conventions:
  
  Follow SAP naming conventions for roles and objects.
  For roles, typically names are up to 40 characters and use uppercase letters, numbers, and underscores.
  
  
  
  Check for Hidden Characters:
  
  Sometimes copy-pasting from external sources introduces hidden characters.
  Use a text editor to clean the input.
  
  
  
  Use SAP Tools to Validate Names:
  
  Use transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance) or SU01 (User Maintenance) to check if the role or user exists and is correctly named.
  Use SE16/SE16N to check tables like AGR_DEFINE (roles) or USR02 (users).
  
  
  
  If Programmatic:
  
  Review the ABAP code or script that passes the object name.
  Use debugging to check the exact value passed.
  Use function modules like SUSR_ROLE_CHECK or AGR_NAME_CHECK to validate role names.
