• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_CMIS_G077 - Restore of &1-&2 is already running. ?

  The SAP error message CNV_CMIS_G077 indicates that a restore operation for a specific object (identified by &1 and &2) is already in progress. This typically occurs in the context of data migration or conversion processes, particularly when using the SAP Conversion Management Information System (CMIS).
  Cause:
  
  
  Concurrent Operations: The most common cause of this error is that a restore operation for the same object is already running. This can happen if:
  
  A previous restore process has not completed yet.
  There are multiple users or processes attempting to restore the same object simultaneously.
  
  
  
  System Locking: The system may have a locking mechanism that prevents multiple restore operations on the same object to ensure data integrity.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Running Processes: 
  
  Use transaction codes like SM37 (Job Monitoring) to check for any running jobs related to the restore operation. Look for jobs that are in a "running" state and are associated with the same object.
  
  
  
  Wait for Completion: If you find that a restore operation is indeed running, you may need to wait for it to complete before attempting to start a new one.
  
  
  Terminate Stuck Processes: If the running process seems to be stuck or taking too long, you may need to terminate it. This can be done through:
  
  SM37 to find the job and then cancel it.
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to terminate jobs.
  
  
  
  Check Logs: Review the logs for any errors or warnings that might indicate why the previous restore operation is still running or if it has encountered issues.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If the issue persists, refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific version of the CMIS you are using, as there may be known issues or patches available.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance, especially if this is impacting critical operations.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SM37 for job monitoring, SM21 for system logs, and ST22 for dump analysis.
  SAP Notes: Search for SAP Notes related to the error message or the specific CMIS version you are using for any patches or updates that may address the issue.
  System Performance: Ensure that your system has adequate resources (CPU, memory, etc.) to handle data migration tasks, as performance issues can sometimes lead to processes hanging.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to diagnose and resolve the CNV_CMIS_G077 error effectively.
