minimum Authorization SAP user to extract data using sap connector

Former Member — Fri, 11 Apr 2014 09:39:06 GMT

Hi Experts,

We have our own application which uses SAP connectors(JAVA and .NET) to connect to SAP system to extract all the metadata.

for this we make connection with SAP in our application using SAP HOST, System no, client, Username and password.

Our extraction is failing with the authorization error.

Could you please let me know what are the minimum authorizations required for a connection user to extract all the meta data.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Regards,

Krishna

Wouldn't this depend on what your extractor does?

most likely s_rfc and possibly s_rfcacl will be necessary

look at st22 or trace via st01 to find the auth error

Hi Collllen,

I will perform the trace on user and will come up with the result.Mostly the error is "user doesn't have authorization to table "EKKO" etc..

we extract user authorization data like user metadata.

Thanks,

krishna

That might be a good idea as you are now referring to the specifics of the data and not general rfc access without mentioning what the application is attempting to do.
