Hello everyone,

I've tried to use Python RFA in SAP PaPM Cloud, but this error message is received:

'RemoteExecutorService returned an error: Forbidden'

Please explain how to activate/enable this Remote Executor Service.

Best regards

The error message "RemoteExecutorService returned an error: Forbidden" in the context of SAP PaPM (Profitability and Performance Management) Cloud suggests that there might be an issue with permissions or access rights related to the Remote Executor Service.

Here are steps you can take to investigate and potentially resolve this issue:

1. Check User Permissions:

   • Ensure that the user account you are using to execute the Python RFA (Remote Function Call) has the necessary permissions. This includes the required roles and authorizations to call remote services in SAP PaPM Cloud.

2. Review SAP PaPM Cloud Documentation:

   • Refer to the official SAP PaPM Cloud documentation for information on configuring and using Remote Executor Service with Python RFA. The documentation should provide details on required permissions and steps for enabling the service.

3. Verify Service Activation:

   • Confirm that the Remote Executor Service is activated and running in your SAP PaPM Cloud environment. This might involve checking the configuration settings in the SAP PaPM Cloud administration or cockpit.

4. Check SAP Cloud Platform Authorizations:

   • If SAP PaPM Cloud is part of the SAP Cloud Platform, verify that the user has the necessary authorizations within the SAP Cloud Platform. Ensure that the user has the required roles and scopes to access the Remote Executor Service.

5. Review SAP PaPM Cloud Support Resources:

   • Check SAP's support portal, community forums, or other support resources for SAP PaPM Cloud. There might be specific notes, articles, or community discussions addressing similar issues.

6. Network and Firewall Considerations:

   • Confirm that there are no network or firewall issues preventing communication between your Python RFA client and the Remote Executor Service in SAP PaPM Cloud. Ensure that the necessary ports are open, and there are no restrictions.

7. Contact SAP Support:

   • If the issue persists and you cannot find a solution through documentation or community resources, it's advisable to contact SAP Support. Provide them with detailed information about the error, your system landscape, and any relevant log files. They can assist in diagnosing and resolving the issue.

Always follow best practices and security guidelines when configuring and managing remote services in SAP Cloud environments. If necessary, involve your SAP basis and security teams in the investigation and resolution process.
