SAP Authorization Objects

To use Xtract for Alteryx you need an SAP connection user with sufficient authorization in SAP. Authorizations are assigned via authorization objects in SAP. Redirect this page to your SAP Basis administrators to get the relevant authorization objects for your SAP connection user.

The authorizations in the section General authorization objects are required to establish an SAP connection with the SAP application server. The required authorizations for each component are listed in their respective section.

SAP Authorization Profiles

Theobald Software collected and combined the necessary authorizations for all components into SAP roles. You can download the SAP profiles and upload them to your SAP system:

Component SAP Role File
General Authorization Objects ZXTGENERAL.SAP
BAPI ZXTBAPI.SAP
BW Cube ZXTBWCUBE.SAP
BW Hierarchy ZXTBWHIERARCHY.SAP
ODP (Operational Data Provisioning) ZXTODP.SAP
Query ZXTQUERY.SAP
Report ZXREPORT.SAP
Table ZXTABLE.SAP

Note

If you still get an authorization error, ask SAP Basis to record an ST01-/ or SU53-authorization trace in SAP. This trace shows which authorizations objects are missing.

Download SAP profile for Report

To execute a report with Xtract for Alteryx, the SAP connection user needs explicit authorization to execute the report. Authorization can be granted using one of the following methods:

Table

Necessary SAP authorizations
S_RFC            ACTVT=16; RFC_TYPE=FUGR; RFC_NAME=SDTX, SDIFRUNTIME, /THEO/READ_TABLE                   
S_TABU_DIS       ACTVT=03; DICBERCLS=XXXX
S_TABU_NAM       ACTVT=03; TABLE=DD02V, DD17S, DD27S, ENLFDIR
S_DSAUTH         ACTVT=16;

XXXX (stands for a placeholder) is the authorization group for the table. To determine, which authorization group belongs to which table, check the table TDDAT - Maintenance Areas for Tables. If the table is not listed, the authorization group is &NC&. For authorizing specific tables use authorization object S_TABU_NAM instead of S_TABU_DIS.

Note

The transport request for function group /THEO/READ_TABLE and Z_THEO_READ_TABLE is located in the following path: C:\Program Files\[XtractProduct]\ABAP\Table of the default installation.
