Symptom

• You have configured HANA Smart data access to access a remote source.
• When you try and activate a BW Open ODS view created on this Smart data access remote source it
fails with the error 'insufficient privilege: Not authorized Message no. RS_EXCEPTION000'.

Environment

HANA Database 1.0

Reproducing the Issue

1. Try to activate BW Open ODS view based on HANA Smart Data Access remote source.
2. Activaton will fail with the error message 'insufficient privilege: Not authorized Message no.
RS_EXCEPTION000'.

Cause

The remote source was not created with the SAP<SID> user and therefore does not have the necessary
privilege to create the virtual table. It is recommended to create the remote source with the HANA SAP<SID>
user. If the remote source has not been created by the HANA SAP<SID> user then the HANA SAP<SID>
user needs the object privilege CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE granted by the owner of the remote source. With
this SQL statement you can find the owner of the remote source: select * from ownership where object_name
= '<Name of the remote source>'.

Resolution

1. Logon to HANA Studio with the user that is the owner of the remote source.
2. Open the SQL Console and execute the following command to GRANT the object privilege CREATE
VIRTUAL TABLE to the SAP<SID> user on the remote source:

Grant CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE on remote source <name of remote source> to SAP<SID>;

Keywords
