• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ILM_STOR_CS014 - Plug-in run already exist for RunID '&1' ?

  The SAP error message ILM_STOR_CS014 indicates that a plug-in run with the specified RunID already exists. This typically occurs in the context of Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) when attempting to start a new data archiving or data deletion process, but a previous run with the same identifier is still active or has not been completed.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate RunID: The system is trying to initiate a new process with a RunID that is already in use by another active or incomplete process.
  Incomplete Previous Run: A previous run may have failed or is still in progress, preventing the initiation of a new run with the same identifier.
  System Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues or bugs in the ILM setup that are causing the system to incorrectly recognize the status of the previous run.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Active Runs: Use transaction codes like SARA (Archive Administration) or ILM to check for any active or incomplete runs associated with the RunID. You can look for the status of the previous runs and determine if they are still processing or have failed.
  
  
  Complete or Cancel Previous Run: If a previous run is still active, you may need to wait for it to complete. If it has failed, you can cancel it or resolve the issues causing the failure before attempting to start a new run.
  
  
  Use a Different RunID: If the previous run is not relevant or can be ignored, consider using a different RunID for the new process.
  
  
  Check Logs and Error Messages: Review the logs and any error messages associated with the previous run to identify the cause of the issue. This can provide insights into what went wrong and how to fix it.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to ILM and archiving processes for any specific guidance on handling this error.

  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to ILM and archiving processes.
  System Monitoring: Regularly monitor your ILM processes to ensure that they are completing successfully and to avoid conflicts with RunIDs.
