• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ILM_STOR_CS057 - Run '&1' is already running ?

  The SAP error message ILM_STOR_CS057 indicates that a specific run (in this case, identified by &1) is already in progress. This typically occurs in the context of Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) processes, where certain jobs or tasks cannot be executed concurrently.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the system has detected that a job or process with the same identifier is already running. This can happen due to:
  
  A previous instance of the job has not yet completed.
  A job was triggered multiple times inadvertently.
  A long-running process is still active, preventing a new instance from starting.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Job Status:
  
  Go to transaction code SM37 (Job Monitoring) in SAP.
  Search for the job using the job name or user who scheduled it.
  Check if the job is still running or if it has failed.
  
  
  
  Wait for Completion:
  
  If the job is still running, you may need to wait for it to complete before starting a new instance.
  
  
  
  Terminate the Job:
  
  If the job is stuck or taking too long, you can terminate it from the SM37 transaction. Select the job and choose the option to cancel or delete it.
  
  
  
  Review Job Scheduling:
  
  Ensure that jobs are not scheduled to run concurrently unless intended. Review the scheduling settings to avoid overlaps.
  
  
  
  Check for Locks:
  
  Sometimes, locks in the database or application can cause jobs to hang. You can check for locks using transaction SM12.
  
  
  
  Consult Logs:
  
  Review the job logs for any errors or warnings that might indicate why the job is taking longer than expected.
  
  
  
  System Performance:
  
  If jobs are frequently running into this issue, consider reviewing system performance and resource allocation to ensure that jobs can complete in a timely manner.
