After System Copy Self service reset password not work

[mario_bisonti2]

Hallo.

We executed a heterogeneous system copy of SAP EP 7.40 on Oracle to SAP EP 7.40 on MAXDB

We note that the functionality reset password of Logon Help page not work.

It returns always "User information incorrect. Cannot send e-mail with new password" even if the information UserId and mail are right.

What could I check?
How to trace the application?

Thjanks a lot.

Hi Mario,

For tracing the password email, I recommend using the security troubleshooting wizard with the general security template. (example 1 from note 1332726). It should hopefully give more information on what information was seen as incorrect.

Kind regards,

Cathal

Instead, in a similar system I do not obtain the error.

In both the system, user J2EE_GUEST are locked, so it isn't a problem

What could I check?

Thanks a lot!
