We are working on a technical upgrade for our BI Platform system from XI 3.1 SP4 to BI 4.1 SP5 Patch 4. We are running into problems when trying to perform a role import from a connected BW Entitlement System. This BW system is the same one that was and still is being used in the previous system.
The error we get is: "No RFC authorization for function module RFC_GET_FUNCTION_INTERFACE."
We have checked with our BASIS team and they assure us that the authorizations for the account used to connect to the BW system matches what is listed in the Admin Guide.
In some of our BW environments, the BW team granted SAP_ALL to the account used in the Entitlement system and the error didn't occur again, even after removing SAP_ALL from the account.
We have run an Authorization Trace in the problematic BW systems which didn't turn up any issues.
We are still waiting for SAP Support to come back with a final answer, but any suggestions here would be greatly appreciated.
