• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 67_LOAN196 - Archiving job(s) has/have been started for selected data ?

  The SAP error message 67_LOAN196 indicates that an archiving job has been initiated for the selected data. This message typically arises in the context of the SAP system's data archiving process, particularly in modules related to financial transactions, such as loans or other financial instruments.
  Cause:
  The error message is not necessarily an error in the traditional sense but rather an informational message indicating that an archiving job is currently running or has been initiated for the data you are trying to access or manipulate. This can happen if:
  
  Concurrent Archiving Jobs: There are multiple archiving jobs running simultaneously, which may lock the data you are trying to access.
  Data Locking: The data you are trying to work with is locked because it is being archived.
  Job Scheduling: The archiving job was scheduled to run at a specific time, and you are trying to access the data during that time.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Job Status: Use transaction code SM37 to check the status of the archiving jobs. Look for any jobs that are currently running or have failed. If a job is running, you may need to wait for it to complete.
  
  
  Wait for Completion: If the archiving job is still in progress, you may need to wait until it finishes before attempting to access the data again.
  
  
  Review Job Logs: If the job has failed, review the job logs for any errors or issues that may have caused the failure. This can provide insights into what went wrong and how to fix it.
  
  
  Consult with Basis Team: If you are unsure about the archiving process or if the job seems to be stuck, consult with your SAP Basis team. They can provide assistance in managing the archiving jobs and resolving any underlying issues.
  
  
  Adjust Archiving Schedule: If archiving jobs are frequently interfering with your operations, consider adjusting the schedule for these jobs to run during off-peak hours.
