• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ILM_STOR_CS017 - Plug-in parameters already exist for RunID '&1' and seq. number '&2' ?

  The SAP error message ILM_STOR_CS017 indicates that there is an issue with the Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) storage process. Specifically, it suggests that there are already existing plug-in parameters for a given RunID and sequence number. This typically occurs when there is an attempt to create or register a new plug-in parameter for a run that has already been initiated.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Execution: The error often arises when a process is attempted to be executed multiple times with the same RunID and sequence number.
  Concurrency Issues: If multiple processes are trying to register the same parameters simultaneously, it can lead to this error.
  Incomplete Previous Execution: If a previous execution of the process did not complete successfully, it might leave behind entries that prevent new ones from being created.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Parameters: Investigate the existing plug-in parameters for the specified RunID and sequence number. You can do this by querying the relevant tables or using transaction codes related to ILM.
  Remove or Update Existing Entries: If you find that the parameters are indeed duplicated, you may need to remove or update the existing entries before attempting to run the process again.
  Ensure Single Execution: Make sure that the process is not being executed concurrently. Implement locking mechanisms if necessary to prevent multiple executions.
  Review Logs: Check the logs for any previous executions to identify if there were any issues that caused the process to not complete properly.
  Restart the Process: If the previous execution was incomplete, you may need to restart the process after resolving any underlying issues.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as ILM-related transactions to monitor and manage ILM processes.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions for common problems.
