• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message E2E_TESTING080 - Existing table trace is being used for TBOM recording ?

  The SAP error message E2E_TESTING080 indicates that there is an existing table trace that is currently being used for TBOM (Technical Bill of Materials) recording. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's testing and change management processes, particularly when using the Solution Manager or other testing tools.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to start a TBOM recording while there is already an active table trace for the same object or transaction. This can happen if:
  
  A previous TBOM recording was not properly stopped.
  Another user or process is currently using the same table trace.
  There is a configuration issue or a session that has not been cleared.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Stop Existing Table Trace:
  
  Check if there is an active table trace that needs to be stopped. You can do this by navigating to the transaction code ST05 (SQL Trace) or ST12 (Single Transaction Analysis) to see if there are any active traces.
  If you find an active trace, stop it by selecting the appropriate option.
  
  
  
  Clear Sessions:
  
  If you suspect that there are lingering sessions, log out of the SAP system and log back in. This can help clear any temporary states that might be causing the issue.
  
  
  
  Check for Other Users:
  
  If you are in a multi-user environment, check if another user is currently using the same table trace. Coordinate with them to stop their trace if necessary.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes:
  
  You can use transaction codes like SE93 to check for existing TBOMs or S_BCE_68001400 to check for authorization issues that might be causing the trace to remain active.
  
  
  
  Restart the TBOM Recording:
  
  Once you have ensured that no other traces are active, try to restart the TBOM recording process.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If the issue persists, refer to SAP documentation or the SAP Notes related to TBOM and table tracing for more specific guidance.
