  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /BDL/TASKMANAGER062 - SDCCN background job is already active (/BDL/TASK_PROCESSOR) ?

    The SAP error message /BDL/TASKMANAGER062 SDCCN background job is already active (/BDL/TASK_PROCESSOR) typically indicates that there is an issue with the background job related to the Software Distribution and Change Control (SDCCN) process. This error occurs when the system detects that a background job for the task manager is already running, preventing a new instance of the job from starting.

    Cause:

    1. Concurrent Execution: The most common cause is that the background job for the task manager is already running. This can happen if a previous job has not completed or if there is a long-running process.
    2. Job Scheduling Issues: There may be issues with how jobs are scheduled, leading to overlaps.
    3. System Performance: If the system is under heavy load, jobs may take longer to complete, causing overlaps.
    4. Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration in the task manager settings can lead to this error.

    Solution:

    1. Check Active Jobs: Use transaction code SM37 to check the status of background jobs. Look for any active jobs related to /BDL/TASK_PROCESSOR and see if they are still running or if they have failed.
    2. Terminate Stuck Jobs: If you find that a job is stuck or taking too long, you may need to terminate it. You can do this from the SM37 transaction by selecting the job and choosing the option to cancel it.
    3. Adjust Job Scheduling: If jobs are overlapping, consider adjusting the scheduling of the jobs to prevent them from running at the same time.
    4. Monitor System Performance: Check the system performance and resource utilization. If the system is under heavy load, consider optimizing performance or scheduling jobs during off-peak hours.
    5. Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings for the task manager to ensure they are set up correctly. This may involve reviewing the settings in transaction SDCCN or related configuration transactions.
    6. Restart the Job: After addressing any issues, you can manually restart the job if necessary.
