Error Message: Access to file Denied in Qubed when
Fetching Table Names from SAP
Symptoms: After installation of Qubed or
an update of the SAP GUI to version 720, an Access to file Denied
message occurs in Qubed when Fetching Table Names from SAP.
Cause: This happens in SAP GUI 720 because
of new security settings in the SAP GUI. When the SAP GUI attempts
to write something to the disk, by default the behavior is to ask
the user to allow or deny the file operation. This is not a problem
when running in GUI session because a dialog box is presented
where the allow or deny option can be selected. Qubed
attempts to download the data in the background using remote
function calls where a SAP GUI is not visible and thus the dialog
cannot be displayed. The Default Action, as specified in the
SAP GUI settings, is performed instead. This is set to Ask by
default which causes the Access Denied message.
Resolution: To fix this you have to set
the Default Action to Allow within the Security Setting. Follow the
instructions below to accomplish this:
- Open the SAP Logon pad.
- Open the SAP Logon options by clicking the box on the top left
corner of the SAP Logon Pad and choosing the "Options" menu
item.
- Select the tree menu item Security--> Security
Settings.
- Under Default Action, Select "Allow" and click OK.
