• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CMM_DEND201 - A technical error occured; the end-of-day run ID must be unique ?

  The SAP error message CMM_DEND201 indicates that there is a technical error related to the end-of-day (EOD) processing in the system. Specifically, it states that the end-of-day run ID must be unique, which means that the system has detected a duplicate ID for an EOD run that is supposed to be unique.
  Cause:
  
  
  Duplicate Run ID: The most common cause of this error is that the system is attempting to create a new end-of-day run with an ID that already exists in the database. This can happen if:
  
  The EOD process was triggered multiple times inadvertently.
  There was a failure in the previous EOD run, and the system is trying to reprocess it with the same ID.
  Manual intervention or incorrect configuration led to the generation of a duplicate ID.
  
  
  
  Database Issues: There may be underlying database issues, such as transaction locks or inconsistencies, that prevent the system from properly generating a unique ID.
  
  
  Configuration Errors: Incorrect configuration settings in the EOD processing module may lead to issues in ID generation.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing EOD Runs: 
  
  Review the existing end-of-day runs in the system to identify if there is indeed a duplicate ID. You can do this by checking the relevant tables or transaction codes that display EOD run information.
  
  
  
  Delete or Archive Duplicate Runs: 
  
  If you find a duplicate run that is no longer needed, you may need to delete or archive it, depending on your organization's data retention policies.
  
  
  
  Restart the EOD Process: 
  
  After resolving any duplicates, attempt to restart the end-of-day process. Ensure that the previous run has completed successfully or has been properly cleared.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration: 
  
  Review the configuration settings for the EOD process to ensure that they are set up correctly. This may involve checking the settings in the relevant customizing transactions.
  
  
  
  Database Consistency Check: 
  
  If the issue persists, consider running a database consistency check or consulting with your database administrator to ensure that there are no underlying issues affecting the EOD process.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes and Support: 
  
  Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error. SAP frequently releases updates and patches that can resolve known issues.
