• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message >6155 - Parameter maintenance not possible; printing for &1 &2 already executed ?

  The SAP error message 6155 indicates that there is an issue with parameter maintenance in the system, specifically that printing for the specified parameters has already been executed. This can occur in various contexts, such as when trying to maintain or change parameters that are already in the process of being printed or have been printed.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Concurrent Execution: Another user or process is already executing a print job for the same parameters.
  Locking Mechanism: SAP uses a locking mechanism to prevent multiple processes from modifying the same data simultaneously. If a print job is in progress, the parameters may be locked.
  System Configuration: There may be specific configurations or settings in the SAP system that restrict parameter maintenance during certain operations.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can try the following steps:
  
  
  Check for Active Print Jobs:
  
  Use transaction codes like SP01 (Spool Request) to check if there are any active print jobs for the specified parameters. If there are, you may need to wait for them to complete.
  
  
  
  Release Locks:
  
  If you have access, you can check for locks using transaction SM12 (Display and Delete Locks). Look for locks related to the parameters in question and release them if necessary.
  
  
  
  Retry the Operation:
  
  After confirming that no other processes are using the parameters, try to execute the parameter maintenance operation again.
  
  
  
  Consult with Colleagues:
  
  If you are in a multi-user environment, check with your colleagues to see if someone else is working with the same parameters.
  
  
  
  System Administrator:
  
  If the issue persists, it may be necessary to involve your SAP Basis team or system administrator to investigate further. They can check for any underlying issues in the system configuration or logs.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SP01: To view spool requests.
  SM12: To view and manage locks.
  SM21: To check system logs for any related errors or warnings.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  
  
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to parameter maintenance and printing processes for more context on how these operations are managed within the system.
