• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ADS2KIPUPL_UL018 - Choose a terminated upload to ignore it ?

  The SAP error message ADS2KIPUPL_UL018 typically occurs in the context of data uploads, particularly when using the SAP Data Services or similar tools for data transfer. This error indicates that there is an issue with an ongoing or previously terminated upload process, and the system is prompting the user to choose a terminated upload to ignore it.
  Cause:
  
  Terminated Uploads: The error is triggered when there are uploads that have been terminated or interrupted, and the system is unable to proceed with the current upload due to these existing terminated processes.
  Concurrency Issues: Multiple upload processes may be trying to access the same resources or data, leading to conflicts.
  Session Management: The session handling might not be properly configured, causing the system to retain references to terminated uploads.
  
  Solution:
  
  Identify Terminated Uploads: Check the upload logs or the relevant transaction codes (like SLG1 for application logs) to identify any terminated uploads that are causing the issue.
  Ignore or Delete Terminated Uploads: If you find terminated uploads, you can choose to ignore them as suggested by the error message. This may involve selecting the appropriate option in the upload interface to proceed without considering the terminated uploads.
  Restart the Upload Process: After addressing the terminated uploads, restart the upload process to see if the issue persists.
  Check for Locks: Ensure that there are no locks on the database or application that could be causing the upload to fail. You can use transaction codes like SM12 to check for locks.
  Review Configuration: Ensure that the configuration for uploads and session management is correctly set up to avoid similar issues in the future.
