• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/SYNC137 - Synchronization with &1 is not running (anymore) ?

  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/SYNC137 Synchronization with &1 is not running (anymore) typically indicates that a synchronization process with a specific system or component (denoted by &1) has stopped or failed. This can occur in various contexts, such as data synchronization between systems in a distributed environment or during the execution of a specific job.
  Causes:
  
  Network Issues: Connectivity problems between the systems involved in the synchronization can lead to this error.
  System Configuration: Incorrect configuration settings in the synchronization setup may cause the process to fail.
  Resource Limitations: Insufficient system resources (CPU, memory, etc.) can lead to the termination of the synchronization process.
  Timeouts: The synchronization process may have timed out due to long-running operations or delays.
  Process Termination: The synchronization job may have been manually stopped or terminated due to an error or user intervention.
  Error in the Source or Target System: Issues in either the source or target system can prevent successful synchronization.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check System Logs: Review the system logs (transaction SM21) and application logs (transaction SLG1) for any related error messages that can provide more context on why the synchronization stopped.
  Verify Connectivity: Ensure that there are no network issues between the systems involved. You can use tools like ping or telnet to check connectivity.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings for the synchronization process to ensure they are correct and complete.
  Monitor System Resources: Use transaction ST02 (buffer management) and ST06 (OS monitoring) to check for resource bottlenecks.
  Restart the Synchronization: If the process has stopped, you may need to restart it manually. This can often be done through the relevant transaction or job management tools.
  Check for Updates: Ensure that both systems are running the latest patches and updates, as bugs in earlier versions may have been resolved in later releases.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific synchronization process you are using for any known issues or additional troubleshooting steps.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SM37 (job monitoring), SM21 (system log), SLG1 (application log), and ST22 (dump analysis).
  SAP Notes: Search for SAP Notes related to the specific error message or synchronization process for additional guidance and potential fixes.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums for insights from other users who may have encountered similar issues.
