Analysis

Procedure

1) Are there error messages in the job log?

– Display the job log (see Analyzing Job Status)

– Are there error messages?

Yes: – View the error message long texts (choose Goto ® Long text)

Due to the large number of different problems which can cause termination of a job, it is not possible here to give a generalized procedure for analyzing the problems. There follows a list of some of the more commonly observed problems:

– A variant of an ABAP program cannot be found, because it has been deleted

– There is a syntax error in an ABAP program

– There is a runtime error in an ABAP program, e.g. divide by zero

– An external program cannot be started (see Analyzing Problems With External Commands and Programs)

No :

Could the problem be solved ?

Yes: End of analysis

No: Continue with step 2

2) Are there unusual entries in the system log?

– Does the job have a target server?

Yes: Check the system log on the target server for entries (see Analyzing the Work Processes and System Log of an Application Server)

No: Check the system logs of all job servers for entries (see Analyzing the Work Processes and System Log of an Application Server)

– Did you find entries?

– Can you solve the problem yourself?

Yes: End of analysis

No: Notify SAP of the problem
