Activation failed + USR_MISSING_PRIVILEGE

[Former Member]

Hi Folks,

We had some DCs working fine on our track. We made changes in one DC(by following checkout and checkin correctly).

When we tried to activate this activity, we got activation failed message. We checked the associated activation log. There we found that error was on one import statement.

In the meantime, one more team member created his activity on same DC and checked in(but not activate). We created one more activity in which we commented this line. When we tried to activate it, it gave us error message "CBS ERROR:The user does not have authorization for the requested operation", because now it was considering the predecessor activities too.

Basically, there are several activities currently which are not getting activated. (some bcoz of code error on above mentioned import statement, some bcoz of USR_MISSING_PRIVILEGE error).

We found that assigning nwdi admin role can solve atleast usr_missing_privilege so that we can activate all the predecessor activities. But, our clients are not ready to assign that role to us.

So, is there any other way around?

Thanks.

The USR_MISSING_PRIVILEGE error is probably occurring, because your users do not have authorization to activate another user's activities. You should be able to get around this without nwdi_admin authorization by letting each user activate his own activities in the correct order.

Hi

in order to activate activities of other developers you need the CBS role XDeveloper. Details can be found in the documentation: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/da/f812d366aa44ad83a30418b34dae1c/frameset.htm. For 7.1x suitable groups are created by the NWDI setup automatically (NWDI.XDevelopers), but for older releases you have to assign the roles manually.

First of all, sorry for replying late.

The issue was solved by assigning "nwdi_admin" group and then activating all the activities(even those with errors).

Thanks for the help
