Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ECATT_LOCAL_OBJ025 - Newer instance (&1) of RSECATT_CHECK_ALL_OBJ_CTS is running in parallel ?

  The SAP error message ECATT_LOCAL_OBJ025 indicates that there is a conflict due to a newer instance of the eCATT (extended Computer Aided Test Tool) check process (RSECATT_CHECK_ALL_OBJ_CTS) running in parallel. This typically occurs when you attempt to execute a test script or a transaction that is already being processed by another instance of the same check.
  Cause:
  
  
  Concurrent Execution: The most common cause is that the same eCATT test script or transaction is being executed multiple times simultaneously. This can happen if:
  
  A user inadvertently starts the same test multiple times.
  A background job is running the same test while a user is trying to execute it manually.
  There are multiple sessions open for the same user.
  
  
  
  Long-Running Processes: If a previous execution of the test script is taking longer than expected, it may lead to this error when a new execution is attempted.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Running Instances: Before executing the test script, check if there are any other instances of the same script running. You can do this by:
  
  Using transaction SM50 to view active processes.
  Using transaction SM66 to check for processes across the entire system.
  
  
  
  Wait for Completion: If you find that another instance is running, wait for it to complete before starting a new execution.
  
  
  Terminate Stuck Processes: If you determine that a process is stuck or taking too long, you may need to terminate it. This can be done in transaction SM50 or SM66 by selecting the process and choosing to end it.
  
  
  Review Test Script Logic: If this error occurs frequently, review the logic of your eCATT test scripts to ensure they are optimized and not causing unnecessary delays.
  
  
  Use Unique Test Instances: If you need to run tests concurrently, consider modifying the test scripts to ensure they do not conflict with each other, or use different test instances.
