Jco Function issue : The initial password has expired (request a new one)

[shaji_chandran]

Hi Friends,

     Could you please help me to resolve this issue. I am able to start my session using  SAP Jco Start Action block. But while invoking the BAPI using

SAP JCo Function action block I am getting the below error. I am 100% sure that my credentials are correct. I am able to logon to ECC using SAP Front GUI.

I am using MII 14.0 patch SP4

Any help on this very much appreciated.

<Rowsets DateCreated="2014-07-22T12:33:49" EndDate="2014-07-22T12:33:49" StartDate="2014-07-22T12:33:49" Version="14.0 SP4 Patch 0 (Nov 22, 2013)">

    <FatalError>JCOProxy error: Problem retrieving JCO.Function object: The initial password has expired (request a new one)</FatalError>

</Rowsets>]]

Thanks in advance

Shaji

Hi Friends,

This issue got resolved when I cleared the BAPI list cache at MII using below URL.

Also, try to use system (technical) users for which the passwords do not expire and do NOT have "initial passwords". Your transactions will work as long as these users are documented and not "cleaned" away at every security audit.
