• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRFPM007 - Only one instance of object collector is allowed for a run. ?

  The SAP error message HRFPM007 indicates that there is an issue with the object collector in the context of the SAP Human Resources (HR) module, specifically related to the Flexible Personnel Management (FPM) component. This error typically occurs when there is an attempt to start multiple instances of the object collector for the same run, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of the HRFPM007 error is that the system is trying to execute more than one instance of the object collector simultaneously. This can happen due to:
  
  Concurrent Execution: If a user or a process attempts to start the object collector while another instance is already running.
  System Configuration: Misconfiguration in the system settings that allows multiple instances to be triggered.
  User Error: A user may inadvertently try to run the object collector multiple times.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the HRFPM007 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Running Instances: Verify if there is already an instance of the object collector running. You can do this by checking the job overview in the SAP system (transaction code SM37). If you find an active job, wait for it to complete before starting a new one.
  
  
  Terminate Duplicate Jobs: If you find that there are stuck or duplicate jobs, you may need to terminate them. This can be done in the SM37 transaction by selecting the job and choosing the option to cancel or delete it.
  
  
  Review Job Scheduling: Ensure that the scheduling of the object collector jobs is properly managed to avoid overlaps. You may want to set up a job scheduling strategy that prevents concurrent executions.
  
  
  System Configuration: If the issue persists, review the configuration settings related to the object collector in the SAP system. Consult with your SAP Basis or HR module administrator to ensure that the settings are correct.
  
  
  User Training: If the error is due to user actions, consider providing training or guidelines to users on how to properly execute the object collector without causing conflicts.
