Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /FTI/WEBGUI_MSG092 - App is in display mode while activation process is running. ?

  The SAP error message /FTI/WEBGUI_MSG092 indicates that the application is currently in display mode because an activation process is running. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Fiori applications or when using the SAP Web GUI, where certain operations cannot be performed while the system is in a transitional state, such as during an activation or update process.
  Cause:
  
  
  Concurrent Processes: The error usually arises when a user attempts to perform an action (like editing or activating an application) while another process is still running. This could be due to:
  
  An ongoing activation of a Fiori app or component.
  A background job that is still processing.
  A previous transaction that has not yet completed.
  
  
  
  Locking Mechanism: SAP uses a locking mechanism to prevent data inconsistencies. If a process is running that locks the application for updates, other users will only be able to view the application in display mode.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Wait for Completion: The simplest solution is to wait for the ongoing activation process to complete. You can check the status of the activation in the SAP system logs or transaction codes like SM37 (for background jobs) or SM21 (for system logs).
  
  
  Check Active Processes: Use transaction SM66 to view active processes in the system. This can help identify if there are any long-running processes that might be causing the lock.
  
  
  Terminate Long-Running Jobs: If you identify a job that is taking too long and is not critical, you may consider terminating it. However, be cautious with this approach as it may lead to data inconsistencies.
  
  
  System Restart: In some cases, if the system is stuck in this state for an extended period, a system restart may be necessary. This should be done with caution and typically requires coordination with your Basis team.
  
  
  Contact Support: If the issue persists and you cannot identify the cause, it may be necessary to contact SAP support for further assistance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as:
  
  SM37 - Monitor background jobs.
  SM66 - Global work process overview.
  SM21 - System log.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  
  
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to Fiori app activation and the Web GUI to understand the expected behavior during activation processes.
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the issue or at least understand the underlying cause of the error message.
