Background user getting locked frequently

[Former Member]

Hi everyone,

In production system Background (SYSTEM) user is getting locked frequently due to incorrect login at a particular time. I have checked all the jobs, wp traces and other stuff. There is no information why its getting locked.

Is there any way to find out how its getting locked without switching on the trace..?

Hi

Switching on the trace will help you better analyse the cause of error

Is Audit log activated in your sytem SM19/SM20?

Hi,

I cannot switch on the trace or the audit log cannot be activated.

I cannot switch on the trace or the audit log cannot be activated

Any particular reason for this?

Basically Jobs won't lock the user... is the RFC's called by the jobs that will lock it, basically if the password of your background user was reset and any of the RFC's have the username and old password populated that will eventually lock your user... so check the RFC's.
