Solution

Login to the SAP ABAP back-end system and go to transaction code SU01.
Ensure the UME-ABAP communication (Default = SAPJSF) has been assigned one of the following ABAP roles:
1. SAP_BC_JSF_COMMUNICATION_RO
2. SAP_BC_JSF_COMMUNICATION
3. SAP_BC_JSF_COMMUNICATION_NAMED
Use transaction PFCG to ensure that you have maintained the authorization data and generated the profiles of the role that you are using.
Save your entries. Restart the AS Java.

Note

Ensure the user is having authorization object S_RFCACL assigned.
[Not Recommended] You can use SAP_ALL for the SAPJSF user.
