• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_20100571 - Program &1 is currently running ?

  The SAP error message CNV_20100571, which states "Program &1 is currently running," typically occurs when a specific program or transaction is already in execution, and a second attempt to run the same program is made. This can happen in various scenarios, such as during data migration, system upgrades, or when running background jobs.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Execution: The program is already running in the background or foreground, and SAP does not allow multiple instances of the same program to run simultaneously.

  Review Logs: Check the logs for the running job to understand why it is taking longer than expected. This can provide insights into performance issues or errors that need to be addressed.
