Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /AIF/XRFC_MESSAGES019 - Only messages with AIF processing status 'Technical Error' can be changed ?

  The SAP error message /AIF/XRFC_MESSAGES019 indicates that you are trying to change the processing status of a message in the Application Interface Framework (AIF) that does not have the status 'Technical Error'. This error typically arises when you attempt to modify messages that are in a different processing state, such as 'Processed', 'Error', or 'In Process'.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the system restricts changes to messages that are only in the 'Technical Error' state. This is a safeguard to ensure that only messages that have encountered a technical issue can be reprocessed or modified. 
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Message Status: Verify the current processing status of the message you are trying to change. You can do this by navigating to the AIF monitoring transaction (e.g., /AIF/ERR or /AIF/MSG).
  
  
  Identify the Correct Action: Depending on the status of the message:
  
  If the message is in 'Technical Error', you can proceed to change its status or reprocess it.
  If the message is in another status (e.g., 'Processed', 'Error'), you will need to address the underlying issue before you can change its status.
  
  
  
  Reprocess or Correct the Message: If the message is in a state that allows for correction:
  
  For messages in 'Error', you may need to analyze the error details, correct the underlying issue, and then reprocess the message.
  For messages in 'Processed', you may need to create a new message or take other corrective actions as appropriate.
  
  
  
  Use the Correct Functionality: Ensure you are using the appropriate AIF functions for the specific status of the message. For example, if you need to reprocess a message, use the reprocessing functionality provided in AIF.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  AIF Monitoring: Familiarize yourself with the AIF monitoring tools and transaction codes, such as /AIF/ERR for error messages and /AIF/MSG for message processing.
  Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for AIF to understand the different processing statuses and the implications of each.
  Error Handling: Implement proper error handling and logging mechanisms in your AIF configuration to facilitate easier troubleshooting in the future.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the error and manage your AIF messages effectively.
