• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /DSD/ME034 - Upload process has been already started ?

  The SAP error message /DSD/ME034 Upload process has been already started typically occurs in the context of the SAP Direct Store Delivery (DSD) module when a user attempts to initiate an upload process that is already in progress. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when multiple users try to upload data simultaneously or if a previous upload process has not completed or has been left in a pending state.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Uploads: Another user or process is already executing an upload, leading to a conflict.
  Stuck Process: A previous upload process may have failed or is still running, causing the system to lock the upload functionality.
  Session Issues: The user session may not have been properly terminated, leaving the upload process in a running state.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Running Processes: 
  
  Use transaction codes like SM37 (Job Monitoring) to check for any running jobs related to the upload process. If you find a job that is stuck or running longer than expected, you may need to terminate it.
  
  
  
  Wait for Completion: 
  
  If another user is performing the upload, you may need to wait until that process is completed before attempting to start your own upload.
  
  
  
  Log Out and Log Back In: 
  
  Sometimes, simply logging out of the SAP system and logging back in can resolve session-related issues.
  
  
  
  Clear Locks: 
  
  If you have access, you can check for and clear any locks that may be preventing the upload. This can be done using transaction SM12 (Lock Entries).
  
  
  
  Contact Support: 
  
  If the issue persists and you cannot identify the cause, it may be necessary to contact your SAP support team or administrator for further assistance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SM37 for job monitoring, SM12 for lock entries, and SM21 for system logs.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to the DSD module for any specific guidelines or troubleshooting steps.
  User Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to perform upload processes and access relevant transaction codes.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error message and successfully complete your upload process.
