• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EEDM_CALC_INST047 - Restart not possible; previous calculation ended successfully ?

  The SAP error message EEDM_CALC_INST047 indicates that a calculation instance in the SAP system cannot be restarted because the previous calculation ended successfully. This error typically occurs in the context of data processing or calculation jobs, particularly in the SAP Data Management or SAP BW (Business Warehouse) environments.
  Cause:
  
  Successful Completion: The error arises when a calculation instance is attempted to be restarted, but the system recognizes that the previous instance completed successfully. In this case, the system does not allow a restart because it assumes that there is no need to reprocess the data.
  Job Management: The job management settings or the way the calculation instances are configured may lead to this situation. If the job is designed to run only once and completes without errors, any subsequent restart attempts will trigger this error.
  Data Locking: Sometimes, data locking mechanisms may prevent the restart of a calculation instance if the system believes that the data is still in a valid state.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Job Status: Verify the status of the previous calculation instance. If it completed successfully, you may not need to restart it. If you need to reprocess the data, consider creating a new calculation instance instead.
  Adjust Job Configuration: If you frequently need to restart calculations, consider adjusting the job configuration to allow for reprocessing or to handle scenarios where a restart is necessary.
  Manual Intervention: If you believe that the calculation should be restarted despite the successful completion, you may need to manually intervene by either deleting the previous instance or adjusting the parameters to allow for a new run.
  Review Logs: Check the logs for any additional information that might indicate why the restart is being attempted. This can provide insights into whether there are underlying issues that need to be addressed.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support resources for specific guidance related to the version of SAP you are using, as there may be version-specific considerations.
