How To Fix ECH_MSG044 - Transient retry not permitted as part of Error and Conflict Handling

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: ECH_MSG - Messages for Error & Conflict Handler

• Message number: 044

• Message text: Transient retry not permitted as part of Error and Conflict Handling

What causes this issue?

In the Forward Error Handling (FEH) environment of asynchronous service
messages in <ZK>SAP Business Suite</>, you cannot use the transient
retry as it can lead to data inconsistencies.

System Response

When you have defined a resolution strategy that causes an erroneous
asynchronous service message to be transferred using FEH, this message
ignores this strategy. If the resolution strategy supports error
persistence, then the error is persisted instead.
If you have defined a purely transient resolution strategy, FEH responds
by terminating the program.

How to fix this error?

If you want transient reprocessing for component processes that use
Error and Conflict Handler (ECH) independently of FEH, you need to
create a separate resolution tree with transaction ECH_RESOL_COMP.

Procedure for System Administrators

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ECH_MSG044 - Transient retry not permitted as part of Error and Conflict Handling ?

  The SAP error message ECH_MSG044 indicates that a transient retry is not permitted in the context of Error and Conflict Handling (ECH). This error typically arises when the system encounters a transient error that it cannot automatically retry due to specific configurations or conditions.
  Cause:
  
  Transient Errors: These are temporary issues that may occur due to network problems, temporary unavailability of a service, or other intermittent issues. In some cases, the system is configured to allow retries for certain transient errors, but not for others.
  Configuration Settings: The error may be due to specific settings in the Error and Conflict Handling configuration that restrict retries for certain types of errors.
  Business Logic: The application logic may dictate that certain errors should not be retried to avoid potential data inconsistencies or other issues.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Configuration: Check the Error and Conflict Handling configuration in your SAP system. Ensure that the settings allow for transient retries where appropriate. This may involve adjusting the retry settings for specific error types.
  Analyze Logs: Look at the application logs or error logs to identify the specific transient error that triggered this message. Understanding the root cause of the transient error can help in determining the appropriate action.
  Manual Intervention: If the error cannot be resolved through configuration changes, you may need to manually intervene to address the underlying issue causing the transient error.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support notes related to Error and Conflict Handling for guidance on how to manage transient errors and configure retries.
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists and you cannot find a resolution, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance. They can provide insights based on the specific context of your implementation.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Error and Conflict Handling (ECH): This is a framework in SAP that manages errors and conflicts that occur during processing. It provides mechanisms for logging, retrying, and handling errors in a structured way.
  Transient Errors: These are typically temporary and may resolve themselves without intervention. However, if they persist, they may require investigation.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide updates to the Error and Conflict Handling framework.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to diagnose and address the issue related to the ECH_MSG044 error in your SAP system.
