[Former Member]

I have a users who is trying to process a BDC session in sm35 and they are getting you are unable to schedule session XXXX.

I checked sm35 and they have access to it

And object S_BDC_MONI has values of ABTC, ANAL, AND AONL.

Nothing happens of course they are offsight so an su53 I am unable to do now............any suggestions.

THANKS!!!!

Maritza,

If someone is processing a BDC session they need access to S_BDC_MONI and access to the transactions/objects contained in the session.

If they are trying to schedule the session they may need S_BDC_JOB as well. I would run an ST01 trace on the user to see what they are failing on.

If you filter for the user you are tracing and switch it off when you have finished, the system impact will be be negligible

Maritza,

ST01 is a powerful transaction. It should be turned on only for running the trace then turned off asap.

Sorry, S_BTCH_JOB is what I meant to say.

ST01 produced no results it gave me an error where it stated nothing could be found.

S_BTCH_JOB I added LIST and PROT. Still nothing.

Maritza,

There are many reasons why ST01 is not showing results. Try practicing with it in one of your test systems or see if anyone in your area has used it before who may provide assistance.

Try one other thing after the user runs the transaction. You run SU53. Then hit F5 and put in the user ID of the user with the issue. See what object shows up.

Cheers,

Please notice that transaction ST01 works server instance specific.

Most likely your background jobs are started on a different server instance; you need to activate (and evaluate) the ST01 trace there.

Hi Maritza

Why don't you try switching on the security audit log in SM19?

It will provide more information about the authorization checks rather than ST01.

After you turn on the audit log(after setting the filters) ask the user to try again running the session and then u would probably find some more information abt the authorizations.

reddy, that is incorrect. The SAL will record many things, however it does not provide detailed information regarding the auth checks performed against a user
