• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /AIF/ERROR_HANDLING193 - Restarting files is not supported ?

  The SAP error message /AIF/ERROR_HANDLING193 Restarting files is not supported typically occurs in the context of the Application Interface Framework (AIF) when there is an attempt to restart a file processing that is not allowed. This can happen for various reasons, such as:
  Cause:
  
  File Processing State: The file you are trying to restart may already be in a processed state or has been marked as completed. AIF does not allow restarting files that have already been processed to prevent data duplication or inconsistencies.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in AIF that restrict the ability to restart certain types of files or messages.
  Error Handling: If the file processing encountered errors and was not handled correctly, it may lead to a situation where the system does not allow a restart.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check File Status: Verify the status of the file in the AIF monitoring tools. If the file has already been processed, you may need to create a new file for processing instead of trying to restart the existing one.
  Error Handling: If the file processing failed, check the error logs to understand the reason for the failure. Resolve any underlying issues before attempting to process the file again.
  Configuration Review: Review the AIF configuration settings to ensure that they allow for the desired file processing behavior. Adjust settings if necessary.
  Manual Intervention: If the file is stuck in an error state, you may need to manually intervene by either correcting the errors or resetting the file status in the AIF interface.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for AIF for specific guidelines on error handling and file processing.
