Workflow - RFC Status -- User is locked

Hi , experts
I prepared a workflow and tested it with   PFTC_DIS transaction.
there was no problem .But when i trigered this workflow event in my program , workflow not worked. I used SWEL and SWELS programs to traced it.
The list is below.
The problem is "RFC Status = User is locked. Please notify the person responsible".
Please help.

Hi,
Your workflow is not configured properly. Transaction SWU3 -> Configure RFC destinations, hit generate. You may well lack the authorization, in which case you will need a basis person to help you.
Hope that helps,

Catch RFC Exception - User Account locked

Hello,
I am hoping someone knows how in the portal to catch an exception thrown by JCo indicating a users account is locked in R/3.
I would like to trap the error and display a friendly error message to contact the correct people. I do not want to see a Portal Runtime Error get presented to end users.
Here is what it looks like in the default trace:
Caused by: com.sap.mw.jco.JCO$Exception: (103) RFC_ERROR_LOGON_FAILURE: User is locked. Please notify the person responsible
at com.sap.mw.jco.MiddlewareJRfc.generateJCoException(MiddlewareJRfc.java:418)
Any docs on catching R/3 Fault exceptions is great as well.
Thank you,
Sean

Usually when working with BAPIs, it is designed not to raise any exceptions. They are designed to pass any errors back to the caller thru the BAPIRET2 parameter in the BAPI signature, using a TABLES parameter. This is how you will let the user know gracefully. If you are working with custom function modules which are to be called from the portal, they need to be developed in such a way that they do not RAISE and exceptions, but pass the errors back using a table like in the BAPIs.

Workflow not starting and RFC status is 'User Switch Is Not Possible'

Hi All,
I am using ABAP classes to raise an event that triggers the workflow.
When I am executing the workflow from SWUS or raising event from SWUE or SE24, the workflow is starting fine.
But when I am raising the event from a Webdynpro application, the same event is raised, but the workflow is not getting triggerred.
I could see a record in SWEL, but the workitem is not created.
In SWEL, it is showing the RFC status as 'User Switch Is Not Possible'.
When I go to SM58, I am able to re-execute the failed transaction and this time the workflow is getting triggered.
The same workflow is working fine in D env. but not in T env.
The event linkages are all same and I also used the COMMIT WORK statement after raising the event.
Another problem is the RFC status is sometimes set to SYSFAIL and sometimes as 'System overloaded, repeat immediately by batch' other than 'User Switch Is Not Possible'.
Please help.
Thanks,
Cay.

Hi,
call function module AUTHORITY_CHECK_RFC explicitly before a remote call to be able to treat a possible exception. If the authorization exists, the function module does not return an explicit result but, like all successfully executed function modules, sets sy-subrc to 0. If sy-subrc is not equal to zero then it could be the problem with the user authorization.
I also think it could alos possible because of your Host name check whether any changes are done to host name.

Error " RFC Status :- Lock table overflow "in event trace ( SWEL )

Hi experts ,
I will not mention this post as URGENT but you guys can understand the importance as I am in PRD Support of my workflows .
My Workflow is throughing error in SWEL , as below   and after error its getting deactivated .
The workflow is triigering based on the BO : DRAW and event CREATED .
Error : RFC Status           Lock table overflow
In feedback after error the message is : A system error has occurred in lock management .
I have resolved the deactivation problem after error , but   can any body please suggest me what is the root cause of this error , so that i can try to avoid that error .

This error I have not faced. i will suggest you to check SWU3 transaction Code and check everything is configured. Also check SM12 and SM58. Also I will ask you to contact the Basis Guys related to this issue. Also check WF-BATCH is having all the authorization required. Try to replicate this from the system where Workflow is working.

Workflow Event Trace:RFC Status : Error in target syst

Hi Gurus,
I am working on a custom workflow which is called in a loop from a transaction. There is a transaction which creates multiple documents. We need to start the workflow for each of them. This works fine for around 80-85 documents. For the remaining documents workflow does not start. I am trying with 200 documents.For the remaining documents event is triggered and in event trace, i see the information that receiver started correctly.But in RFC Status it displays as 'Error in Target System'. This is definitely due to system overload. Is there something that can be done for the same. Is this number configured somewhere like how many workflows can work in parallel.

Hello,
How do you know it's due to system overload?
200 workflows should be okay, but how quickly are they created? If it's all done within one second then yes, there could be a problem. You could stretch it out programmatically or you could use the queue, as Sue suggests.

SAP BW User getting locked by BO RFC calls

Hi,
we are encountering a problem with BO RFC calls locking SAP BW users that recently changed their password in BW.
Description of the problem in the ticket we raised at the SAP support:
SAP BO 4.1 SP2 Patch 4, linux installation
Backend: SAP BW 7.01 EHP8
BICS interface with SAP authentication
One of our users gets locked again and again in SAP BW (P19). The cause is a RFC connection that the BusinessObjects server (P59) tries to establish. The user used SAP BO last Friday for the last time and had to change his password in P19 this Tuesday. We think that there is some
process within SAP BO still trying to connect to SAP BW from time to time, using the old password. There is no open session visible for that user in the CMC. User is even getting locked when not in the office and during night time. RFC calls are established almost regualary every hour.
We already had this behaviour in our test-system. Restarting the BO-Server solved it. However, this is not the solution we want to use
in the productive environment. There has to be some way to kill the process that uses the old password on the BO server without restarting
the whole server. We do not understand why BO would still try to connect to BW with the old password - this has to be some kind of a bug.
Meanwhile the error disappeared for the first user (some days after it started, maybe the BO process ran into a timeout). However, other users started having the same behaviour after changing their password.
Our basis team tried to check the log files for advanced information on the conversations between BO and BW, but did not find any hints on which BO process might try to establish the connections.
The SAP support seems to be a little helpless at the moment...
Has anyone had similar problems?
Regards,
Robert

Hi again,
additional information: after approximately one week after the error appeared for the first time BO stops trying to establish the rfc connection for this specific user. Almost as if the "old-password-BO-process" ran into a 1 week timeout or something like that.
The problem is really strange. The SAP support is still not able to tell us how the gather the information they require.
Regards,
Robert

User getting locked while sending message sync via BPM. Please help

Hi Experts,
I have a sync - sync scenario where I am sending data synchronously from webservice to a sync RFC FM. I am using BPM and in BPM I have three steps
1. Receive step - Opens Sync-Async Bridge
2. Sync Send step
3. Send step - Closes SYnc-Async bridge.
This BPM solution is same as that give in the blog https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/1403 [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken]
When I test this scenario I am getting

When I check the "Status monitor for Sync/Async communication" via SXMB_MONI, I found that my message is listed there with BPE status = "Wait".
On double clicking my message I found that there is an error " User is locked. Please notify the person responsible".
Why is my BPE struck in "Wait" stage and user is locked?
What am I doing wrong? Am I missing any settings in SOAP sender communication channel?
Please help me in resolving this problem.
Regards
Gopal

Hi,
Few months ago we had also problems with "locked user" in XI, in our case XIAPPLUSER was sometimes (b)locked.
Perhaps note:
721548 Changing the passwords of the XI 3.0 service users
will help you.
We removed and entered the service users again, with the password in CAPITALS and language blank.
After that our problem was solved, I hope yours too.

'User is Locked' error while trying to start initial load

While trying to start initial load of objects using R3AS, I am receiving error msg 'User is locked'. This rfc user is a dialog user with SAP_ALL. I even tried replicating using a new user, but ended up with same error. The user is not locked but still getting the same error msg via status 'SYSFAIL' in the queue. Any suggestions?
Thnx,
- AJ.

AJ,
The RFC user must be a <b>communication user or a system</b> user. I think you mentioned the RFC user is a dialog user, which would be wrong settings definitely.
Also as mentioned by Marcin, ensure the passwords in the RFC destination of SRM and R/3 are the same as the passwords in SU01 of the respective systems. To ensure this, click on remote logon for the RFC destination in SM59. If the screen doesnot change, this means your systems are connecting through the RFC user without any problem.
Please assign points, if answer is usefull !!

RFC Status: Password logon no longer possible - too many failed

Hi,
We use the workflow for purchase requsition approval and it work fine until recently where the workflow event trace (SWEL) reported the following message
RFC Status: Password logon no longer possible - too many failed. I also use t-code SM59 to reset the passowrd for Admin for the RFC destination WORKFLOW_LOCAL_100.
It still have the error RFC Status: Password logon no longer possible - too many failed.
How to resolve this ?
Best rgds,

Hello Eric,
First find out whether WF_BATCH is a system user or not?
You can verify in SU01 and you can unlock the user on the initial screen.
Password can be provided in SWF_RFC_DEST ( Setting up RFC Destination) and synchronize the system for further use.
Thanks,
Sudhir.

BPC 7.5 NW- error 'Name or password of RFC Communication user is invalid '

Hi
Environmen: Win 2008 R2, CPMBPC 7.5 SP09, BW 7.2 Sp09, .NET BPC 7.5 SP09
I just completed installing .NET BPC 7.5 and when I try to open BPC Server manager, i get "cannot coonect to ABAP server' error.
When I try to open the website http://localhost/osoft I get the error "name or password of RFC communication user is invalid".
I see the same error in the BPC logs as well.
I have the tried the following so far:
1. Created single domain user for the three communication users BPC_sysadmin, BPC_admin & BPC_user.
2. I momentarily changed to dialog users and logged in to check their fucntioning.
3. I have generated their relevant profiles. Inlcuded SAP_ALL, SAP_NEW for the sysadmin ID
4. I have disabled firewall, allowed port 80 on Windows firewall.
5. I have disabled UAT
6. I have followed the rest of the installation as per inst guide.
When I run BPC server manager diagnostics, I see error "SAP ABAP server connection:database connection:status error".
Can someone tell is there anything else that I could try ?
many thanks
Sreekanth

Hi,
If when you launch BPC Server Manager, you do not get "Cannot connect to ABAP server", this means user BPC_SYSADMIN is connecting correctly. And assuming you had invalid RFC user in BPC Web, your issue is then only with user BPC_USER (or BPC_ADMIN if the issue is with BPC Admin client only)
If you do get that error, it means the error is for more than one user, so I would look for something big missing.
In point 1 you mention domain users, make sure in BPC Server Manager under "reset login credentials" that you do not have windows users specified there as it's a common mistake, those should be your 3 BW communication users
On BPC .Net server, if you installed SAP GUI, run an MDX_PARSER test in SM59 to check librfc32.dll is working correctly
Also quite common issue it is possible your background users have wrong authorizations; in PFCG check the roles SAP_BPC_SYSADMIN SAP_BPC_ADMIN and SAP_BPC_USER were copied to customer namespace and that the role are active (user tab should be displaying green light) and assigned to the background communication users
Also check the background users are not locked in SU01 (if they are locked the password saved on .Net server was or is not matching the real password defined on NW server)
Thanks,
Julien

If the workflow initiator does not have write access to the hidden Workflow History List, the same error happens.
To solve the issue, simply open the hidden list permission (through SharePoint Designer>All Files>Lists, for example) and make sure to have your potential initiators contribute rights. The list defaultly inherits the site's permissions.

User gets locked by an external system but which one?

Hi,
In an abap system, we have changed the password of our administration user. Afterwards, this user gets locked every 5 minutes, obviously because the user and old password has been used to set up communication from another system to the abap system. An RFC connection for instance or whatever. Sure it is possible to check all the systems you can think of to see if the user has been used for such a purpose. But how can you see in the system itself where the call comes from that locks it? I have tried the gateway tracefile but without success. Any suggestions?
Regards,
GK

Hello,
I would try transaction STAD.
There you should find entries of type RFC with your user.
If you double-click on the line, you get the details. Click on the RFC button.

CUA SU10 issue with users getting locked

I did some role change using SU10 on CUA central system for 200 users. 45 of the users got locked with global admin lock in the child system for which I made the role changes. These user locks are shown in the child system change documents log as changes by the CUA RFC user. I have this problem everytime I use su10. Why does this happen? What can I do about it? Thanks, KT

Hi Todd,
propably you have some inconsistencies in your landscape....
the cause of such 'unwanted' effects is the fact that if you change a user in your CUA central system, the whole user information is picked, then edited with you changes and afterwards distributed to all child systems.
So what I could imagine in your example is as follows:
User has a global lock in central system already, the particular child system did not have that information (user is still unlocked there). Several causes are possible, for instance the lock idoc did not get processed, Child system was not available/connected to CUA when the lock had been set,......).
At the next update of that user (assign a role), the lock information from the central system is pushed to that child.
Why?
Because the design is to assure data consistency between central and child system. Therefore all the user information from central system is pushed to child at any user change. (that is also why you will see in SCUL 3 idocs for each user change (also user and profile idocs are pushed, even if you have changed the role assignement only).
So what you could check is, if that users got the lock flag (128) already in the past somewhen.

Impact of J2EE_ADMIN / Administrator user getting locked

Hi,
What is the impact of J2EE_ADMIN / Administrator user getting locked in abap / java engines? Will it effect startup of java server processes or java applications? What are the other implications?
Thanks,
Abdul

Hi Abdul,
if the J2EE_ADMIN or Administrator user is locked then
1. you cannot login to Visual Admin unless you define some other user with same authorization.
2. any Jco-RFC using this user won't work.
3. if you don't have any other user, you will have to activate SAP* user to unlock this user.
Thanks,
Sandeep
