• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FARC003 - An archiving run is running in parallel. ?

  The SAP error message FARC003 indicates that an archiving run is currently in progress, and as a result, another archiving process cannot be started in parallel. This is a common issue in SAP systems when multiple archiving jobs are scheduled or triggered simultaneously.
  
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Archiving Jobs: The most common cause of this error is that there is already an archiving job running in the background. SAP does not allow multiple archiving processes for the same object to run at the same time to prevent data inconsistencies.
  Job Overlap: If a job is scheduled to run at a specific time and overlaps with another job that is still running, this error can occur.
  System Configuration: The system may be configured to restrict concurrent archiving jobs for performance or data integrity reasons.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Running Jobs: Use transaction code SM37 to check for any active background jobs. Look for jobs related to archiving that are currently running.
