• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDM_MIRROR036 - A new system with ID &1 is currently being created by user &2 ?

  The SAP error message FDM_MIRROR036 indicates that a new system with a specific ID is currently being created by a user. This error typically arises in the context of the SAP Landscape Management (LaMa) or during system copy or refresh operations, where the system is in the process of being set up or mirrored.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Creation: The error usually occurs when there is an attempt to create or configure a new system that is already in the process of being created by another user. This can happen if multiple users are trying to create systems simultaneously or if a previous operation has not completed successfully.
  Locking Mechanism: SAP has a locking mechanism to prevent conflicts during system creation. If one user is already creating a system, another user trying to create the same system will encounter this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: The simplest solution is to wait for the user who is currently creating the system to complete their operation. Once the process is finished, you can attempt to create the system again.
  Check Active Processes: Use transaction codes like SM66 or SM50 to check for active processes in the system. Identify if there is an ongoing system creation process and wait for it to complete.
  User Coordination: If multiple users are involved, coordinate with them to ensure that only one user is creating the system at a time to avoid conflicts.
  System Logs: Check the system logs for any additional information or errors that might provide insight into why the system creation is taking longer than expected.
  Contact Support: If the issue persists and you cannot identify the user or process that is causing the lock, consider reaching out to your SAP Basis team or SAP support for further assistance.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SM66 (Global Work Process Overview) and SM50 (Work Process Overview) to monitor system activities.
