Log On with a Dialog User

Symptom

You get an error “Log on with a dialog user” while trying to login to the SAP system.

Solution

1. Check the assigned user type. Login with a different user and execute transaction code SU01. Check the corresponding user and go to Logon data tab. Confirm that the User Type is a Dialog user.

2. Alternatively, you can change the user type from OS level. This has been tested with Oracle database. Find the current user type and change it to Dialog user type.

select USTYP, BNAME, MANDT from SAPSR3.USR02 where bname='YOUR-ID'

update SAPSR3.USR02 set USTYP='A' where bname='YOUR-ID' and mandt='CLIENT-NO';
