• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 5C421 - No Temse file or BSA entries were generated ?

  The SAP error message 5C421 ("No Temse file or BSA entries were generated") typically occurs when there is an issue with the Temporary Sequential (Temse) storage in the SAP system. This error can arise during various operations, such as when trying to generate spool requests, print jobs, or when executing certain transactions that require temporary storage.
  Causes:
  
  Temse Storage Issues: The Temse storage may be full or corrupted, preventing new entries from being created.
  Database Issues: There may be underlying database issues that affect the ability to write to the Temse.
  Configuration Problems: Incorrect configuration settings for the Temse or spool settings in the SAP system.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to create or access Temse files.
  System Resource Limitations: Insufficient system resources (like disk space) can also lead to this error.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Temse Status:
  
  Use transaction SP01 to check the status of the spool requests and Temse files.
  Use transaction SPAD to check the configuration of the spool and Temse settings.
  
  
  
  Clear Temse Entries:
  
  If the Temse storage is full, you may need to delete old or unnecessary Temse entries. This can be done using transaction SP01 or SPAD.
  
  
  
  Check Disk Space:
  
  Ensure that there is sufficient disk space on the server where the SAP system is hosted. If the disk is full, free up space.
  
  
  
  Database Check:
  
  Check the database for any issues that might be affecting the Temse storage. This may involve running database consistency checks or consulting with your database administrator.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration settings for the Temse and spool settings in transaction SPAD. Ensure that they are correctly set up.
  
  
  
  User Authorizations:
  
  Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to create and access Temse files.
  
  
  
  System Logs:
  
  Check the system logs (transaction SM21) for any related error messages that might provide more context about the issue.
  
  
  
  Restart Services:
  
  In some cases, restarting the SAP services or the application server may resolve temporary issues.
