The SAP error message
/AIF/ENGINE_BDC019 Restart message &1 not possible, you are not the creator of the session
typically occurs in the context of the Application Interface Framework (AIF) when there is an attempt to restart a message processing session that the user does not own. This can happen in scenarios where messages are processed in batch or where multiple users are involved in handling messages.Cause:
- Session Ownership: The error indicates that the user trying to restart the message does not have the necessary authorization or ownership of the session. In SAP, sessions are often tied to specific users, and only the creator of a session can perform certain actions on it.
- User Role/Authorization: The user may not have the required roles or authorizations to restart the session.
- Session Status: The session may be in a state that does not allow for restarting, or it may have already been processed or deleted.
Solution:
- Check Session Ownership: Verify who the creator of the session is. Only the user who created the session can restart it. If you need to restart a session created by another user, you will need to coordinate with that user.
- User Authorization: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the restart operation. This may involve checking the user's roles and permissions in the SAP system.
- Use Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like
SM35
(for batch input sessions) to view the sessions and their statuses. This can help in identifying the session creator and its current state.- Contact Administrator: If you believe you should have access to restart the session, contact your SAP system administrator to review your permissions or to assist with the restart.
- Session Management: If the session is no longer needed, consider deleting it or marking it as processed if applicable.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
