Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_MBT053 - Jobs starter is running ?

  The SAP error message CNV_MBT053 indicates that a job starter is currently running, which typically means that a background job related to a data migration or conversion process is active. This message is part of the SAP Data Migration Cockpit or related tools used for data migration projects.
  Cause:
  
  Active Job: The most common cause of this error is that a job related to the migration process is already running. This could be due to a previous migration attempt that has not yet completed.
  Job Overlap: If multiple jobs are scheduled to run simultaneously, this error may occur if the system does not allow overlapping jobs for the same migration task.
  System Lock: The system may have a lock in place to prevent multiple instances of the same job from running concurrently.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Job Status: Use transaction code SM37 to check the status of background jobs. Look for any jobs related to the migration process that are currently running. If you find a job that is stuck or taking too long, you may need to analyze it further.
  Wait for Completion: If a job is running, you may need to wait for it to complete before starting a new job. Monitor the job's progress and ensure it finishes successfully.
  Terminate Job: If a job is stuck and not progressing, you may need to terminate it. You can do this from the SM37 transaction by selecting the job and choosing the option to cancel or terminate it.
  Check for Locks: If you suspect that there are locks preventing the job from running, you can check for locks using transaction SM12. If you find any locks related to the migration process, you may need to delete them if they are no longer needed.
  Review Logs: Check the logs for any errors or warnings that might indicate why the job is running longer than expected. This can provide insights into any underlying issues that need to be addressed.
