• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message XC097 - No authorization for target system &1 ?

  The SAP error message XC097 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to access a target system. This typically occurs in scenarios involving cross-system communication, such as when using Remote Function Calls (RFC), or when trying to access data or perform actions in a different SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorizations in the target system.
  Incorrect User Mapping: The user in the source system may not be correctly mapped to a user in the target system.
  Profile Issues: The user profile in the target system may not include the necessary roles or authorizations.
  System Configuration: There may be configuration issues in the RFC destination settings or in the target system's authorization settings.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Log into the target system and check the user’s authorizations using transaction SU53 (to analyze authorization failures) or SU01 (to view user details).
  Ensure that the user has the necessary roles and authorizations assigned.
  
  
  
  User Mapping:
  
  If using a trusted RFC connection, ensure that the user in the source system is correctly mapped to a user in the target system. This can be done in transaction SM59 (RFC destinations) by checking the settings for the RFC connection.
  
  
  
  Assign Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary roles, assign the appropriate roles that include the required authorizations in the target system.
  
  
  
  Check RFC Destination:
  
  Verify the configuration of the RFC destination in the source system (transaction SM59). Ensure that the connection is set up correctly and that the target system is reachable.
  
  
  
  Consult Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes, consult your SAP security team or administrator to review and adjust the user’s authorizations as needed.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the connection again to ensure that the issue is resolved.
