Authorization value ' '

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I wondering if someone know how we can identified if a transaction need authorization value space (' '). I always add this value when user having auth.check failed (after the failure found). Is there any way to know this forward? Thanks.

I have come across values in trace like AUTHOBJ=" ". I never used to maintain this with space, what I used to do is just leave that auth obj without any value.

Can you tell us an instance where inputting a space in auth field solved your issue.

Checking the trace would be the better option, which I always do.

Regards,

Brahmeshwar

I guess I don't need to simulate business transaction here since I've just read this link:

[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/71/8fba30840c6e4d90da3526971cc684/content.htm|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/71/8fba30840c6e4d90da3526971cc684/content.htm]

So it is true that there is a possibility where authorization value truly has SPACE value. Does anyone know if the SPACE value means empty field in the table? Thanks.

This link is about the search strings in a report, not the values to be entered into the authorization objects. The space in authorization objects is often referred to as "DUMMY". If you do a forum search on that word you'll find several threads on the subject.

I do not know about table fields holding a single space. Could well be....

Sorry, I don't agree with you in this case. It is true that the link talking about the searching, but the searching of authorization value on authorization object using SUIM. If we can search the authorization value SPACE, of course it means there is a condition where authorization value has SPACE value. You can use AGR_1251 to show that authorization field has value SPACE.

it's hard to me to simulate this case by this time, will inform soon if I found 1. Message closed.

Not really as this would mean going through all the code behind these transactions for AUTHORITY-CHECK statements to see whether they require field values for al the fields in the checked object or not.
