• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DDL_REPAIR082 - Upgrade is still in running. CDS Repair cannot be exeucted ?

  The SAP error message DDL_REPAIR082 indicates that a database upgrade or a similar operation is still in progress, which prevents the execution of a CDS (Core Data Services) repair. This situation typically arises during system upgrades, migrations, or when performing certain maintenance tasks.
  Cause:
  
  Ongoing Upgrade Process: The most common cause is that an upgrade or a database operation is still running. The system locks certain operations to ensure data integrity during these processes.
  Long-running Transactions: If there are long-running transactions or background jobs that are still active, they can also block the execution of the CDS repair.
  Pending Database Changes: If there are pending changes in the database that have not yet been committed, this can lead to the error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Upgrade Status: Verify if the upgrade or database operation is still running. You can do this by checking the transaction logs or using transaction codes like SM37 (for job monitoring) or SM21 (for system logs).
  Wait for Completion: If an upgrade or operation is indeed in progress, you will need to wait for it to complete. Once it finishes, you should be able to execute the CDS repair.
  Cancel Long-running Jobs: If you identify any long-running jobs that are not essential, you may consider canceling them. However, be cautious with this approach, as it may lead to data inconsistencies.
  Check for Locks: Use transaction SM12 to check for any locks that might be preventing the execution of the CDS repair. If you find any unnecessary locks, you can release them.
  System Restart: In some cases, if the system is in an inconsistent state, a restart may help clear any lingering processes. However, this should be done with caution and ideally during a maintenance window.
