• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DGA381 - Distribution not started (more than one receiving system available) ?

  The SAP error message DGA381, which states "Distribution not started (more than one receiving system available)," typically occurs in the context of SAP's distribution or data transfer processes, particularly when using the SAP Application Link Enabling (ALE) or the Distribution Model.
  Cause:
  This error arises when the system attempts to distribute data to multiple receiving systems, but the configuration does not specify which system should receive the data. The distribution process requires a clear target system to send the data to, and if multiple systems are available without a defined target, the process cannot proceed.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Distribution Model:
  
  Go to transaction BD64 (Distribution Model) and check the distribution model configuration. Ensure that the model is correctly set up to specify which receiving system should be used for the distribution.
  
  
  
  Specify Target System:
  
  If you are using a specific transaction or program to trigger the distribution, ensure that you specify the target system explicitly. This can often be done by adjusting the parameters or settings in the transaction.
  
  
  
  Review Logical System Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the logical systems are correctly defined in your SAP system. You can check this in transaction SALE (ALE Configuration) under the "Logical Systems" section.
  
  
  
  Check Partner Profiles:
  
  Review the partner profiles in transaction WE20. Ensure that the partner profiles for the sending and receiving systems are correctly configured and that they match the distribution model.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes:
  
  If applicable, use transaction codes like BD87 to reprocess any failed distribution messages or SMQ1 and SMQ2 to check the queues for any stuck messages.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to ALE and distribution for any specific configurations or known issues that might relate to your scenario.
