• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FG810 - Selection for parallel process archiving has already been set ?

  The SAP error message FG810, which states "Selection for parallel process archiving has already been set," typically occurs in the context of archiving processes in SAP, particularly when dealing with the archiving of data in parallel processes. This error indicates that a selection for archiving has already been defined, and the system is preventing a duplicate selection from being made.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Selection: The most common cause of this error is that a selection for archiving has already been initiated or set up in the system. This can happen if multiple users are trying to initiate the archiving process simultaneously or if a previous archiving session has not been completed properly.
  Session Management: If a previous archiving session is still active or has not been properly closed, the system will not allow a new selection to be made until the previous one is resolved.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Active Sessions: Verify if there are any active archiving sessions. You can do this by checking the transaction codes related to archiving (e.g., SARA) to see if there are any ongoing processes.
  Complete or Cancel Previous Sessions: If you find an active session that is no longer needed, you can either complete it or cancel it. Ensure that all necessary data has been archived before doing this.
  Wait for Completion: If another user is running the archiving process, you may need to wait until they complete their task before you can initiate your own.
  Review Logs: Check the logs for any errors or warnings that might indicate why the previous session is still active. This can provide insights into whether there are issues that need to be addressed.
  System Restart: In some cases, if the system is in an inconsistent state, a restart of the relevant application server may help resolve the issue.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SARA (Archive Administration) and SLG1 (Application Log) to monitor and manage archiving processes.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address specific issues related to archiving and this error message. SAP Notes can provide patches or workarounds for known issues.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation on data archiving to understand best practices and guidelines for managing archiving processes effectively.
