SAP Note 834917 - Oracle Database 10g: New database role SAPCONN

Component : Oracle - Database Administration with Oracle

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/834917 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
This SAP Note focuses on the necessary role adjustments for SAP and Oracle integration, particularly after upgrading an Oracle database from version 9.2 or below to 10.2 or higher. It addresses the error "ORA-01031: insufficient privileges" by recommending the installation and correct assignment of the SAP-specific database role SAPCONN. The note clarifies the shift from previously extensive CONNECT role privileges to limited authorizations involving the CREATE SESSION privilege for safety, urging the assignment of application-specific roles like SAPCONN and SAPDBA to ensure secure database interactions. This update is mandatory from Oracle Release 10.2 onwards to harmonize database access controls within SAP systems.
