Note

Currently users require the permission to schedule the BPF program /PCH/BPF_RUNTIME_ACTIONS as job in case of temporary errors like object locks during status change. This will be changed in a future release. The authorization required is:

Authority object: S_BTCH_JOB

Field: JOBGROUP value: <empty>

Field JOBACTION value: ‘RELE’

...

Besides the classic process modelling application several expert tools (see ProProcess Customizing Manual) exist which require the authority object /PCH/BPFCF. The authority object contains a predefined function and an activity. The values are described below.
