  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS429 - Archiving not possible as no authorization exists for this ?
    The SAP error message WS429: Archiving not possible as no authorization exists for this indicates that the user attempting to perform an archiving operation does not have the necessary authorizations.
    
    Cause
    
    The user lacks the required authorization objects or roles to execute archiving transactions or activities.
    Archiving in SAP is a sensitive operation, and SAP restricts it to users with specific authorizations to prevent unauthorized data deletion or modification.
    Typically, the missing authorization is related to the authorization object S_ARCHIVE or other related objects controlling archiving activities.
    
    
    Solution
    
    
    Check User Authorizations:
    
    Identify the user who is trying to perform the archiving.
    Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check which authorization check failed.
    Alternatively, use transaction ST01 (Authorization Trace) to trace the missing authorizations.
    
    
    
    Assign Required Roles/Authorizations:
    
    Ensure the user has roles that include the authorization object S_ARCHIVE with the appropriate activity (e.g., activity 03 for display, 02 for change, 06 for delete).
    Common authorization objects related to archiving include:
    S_ARCHIVE
