Automatic error handling when a job is aborted is desirable and useful in most cases. The conscious processing and consideration of error situations in job chains - also at step level - can help to reduce manual effort. Error situations should be catchable: If they are non-critical elements, the following job can perhaps be started anyway. In the case of critical errors, a new attempt should be made or an alert issued so that an administrator can intervene manually. Simple batch jobs are usually not capable of this. The goal of an automated environment is not to have to react manually to every faulty job.
In these cases, you will quickly get the problem under control with a manual user synchronization. This is because the user synchronization checks which roles are assigned to a user and then assigns the current, matching profile. You can run this user synchronization either manually or (my recommendation!) automatically as a background job:

The website www.sap-corner.de offers many useful information about SAP basis.
So much information... how can you keep it so that you can find it again when you need it? Scribble Papers is a "note box" that makes this very easy.

"Shortcut for SAP Systems" makes many tasks in the area of the SAP basis much easier.
The SAP Basis Plug-In is an add-on that you can install on an SAP Web Application Server or other product based on SAP_BASIS 620 and SAP_ABA 620 or higher releases of these software components.
Third-party application management tools such as Protera AppCare build on HANA's enhancements, providing SAP Basis administrators with better visibility and the ability to achieve better performance, faster time to value and cost savings.
