Hello All
We are upgrading TaxFactory from 8 to 9 by following the SAP note 1469858.
when we run the report RPUBTCU0, SAP system is giving system failure error. We are in contact with BSI support but no use, as suggested by them we have changed the password of user ID (OS user) tf90 to password bsi and it did not work.
With our tf90 Os user ID and password abcdef, we are able to connect to tf90 database but when we run report RPUBTCU0, it is throwing system failure dump.
Please advice on the below error message.
Thanks
