Rights Needed to Execute Transactions

[Former Member]

When I execute a transaction from the workbench in 12.0 SP3 using a test account, I get the following error:

[ERROR]: Error executing transaction: Could Not Execute Transaction: [TMP6a683fe1-52b8-11dd-a23e-c9339be0c17a] test01 is not assigned to a role that can perform this action.

I assumed the service needed is 'XAcuteRuntime' but the test account is in the 'xMII Users' role and that role is assigned to that service.

Any ideas?

Hi David,

Even we were getting the same error last week when we Migrated from 11.5 to 12.0,

refer to [this Thread|;,

You may need to export the transaction and change the Write access manually to assign the Test Role and import again.

Hope this helps

To expand on what Rupesh suggests:

Create a new transaction, save it, then export it. It will show whatever default security roles are assigned. The export your transaction of interest. Look in the same relative location in the file to see what roles are assigned. Manually edit to change to roles which are correct for your system.

Good luck,

Mike

As a side note, you should also upgrade to 12.0.4 which is available.

Quite a few helpful suggestions there. In the transaction I'm testing the Reader Role is associated with 'xMII Users' of which my test account is a member. I exported the transaction, deleted the transaction in the Workbench, then looked in the exported transaction on my desktop. It had:

<Name>Metrics_ING_008/ING008_CA</Name>

<Version>323</Version>

<WriterRoles>XMII Administrators,XMII Developers</WriterRoles>

<ReaderRoles>XMII Users</ReaderRoles>

I deleted XMII Users from the transaction's ReaderRoles and re-typed it. I then re-imported back into the Workbench. It still failed.

When I create a transaction in the Workbench, the default roles are:

<WriterRoles>XMII Administrators,XMII Developers</WriterRoles>

<ReaderRoles>XMII Administrators,XMII Developers,XMII Users</ReaderRoles>

I don't think the issue is in the Reader Role because I can open the transaction in the Workbench OK - I just can't execute it.

This is a bug in 12.0.3 that was resolved in 12.0.4. The only work around for 12.0.3 is to add the role to the writers roles.

Jamie - I just stumbled on that solution an hour ago and was just getting ready to post it. It was one of those things where I didn't know why it worked but it did. Your comment of a specific bug fixed in 12.0.4 makes me feel alot better! We'll make plans to move to 12.0.4!
