• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MDQ_DATA_IMPORT022 - Data import is already in process for import GUID &1. ?

  The SAP error message MDQ_DATA_IMPORT022 indicates that a data import process is already in progress for a specific import GUID. This typically occurs in the context of Master Data Governance (MDG) or similar data management processes where data is being imported into the system.
  Cause:
  
  
  Concurrent Import Processes: The error usually arises when a data import process is initiated while another import process is still running for the same GUID. This can happen if:
  
  A user attempts to start a new import before the previous one has completed.
  There is a system or network issue causing the import to hang or take longer than expected.
  
  
  
  System Locking: The system may have locking mechanisms in place to prevent multiple imports of the same data set simultaneously, which can lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Running Processes: 
  
  Use transaction codes like SM37 (Job Monitoring) to check if there are any active jobs related to the import process. If you find a job that is still running, you may need to wait for it to complete.
  
  
  
  Wait and Retry: If you confirm that an import is in progress, wait for it to finish before attempting to start a new import.
  
  
  Cancel Stuck Processes: If you determine that the import process is stuck or has failed, you may need to cancel it. This can be done through transaction SM37 or by using the appropriate administrative tools.
  
  
  Check Logs: Review the logs for the import process to identify any issues that may have caused it to hang or fail. This can provide insights into whether there are data issues or system performance problems.
  
  
  System Configuration: Ensure that the system is configured correctly for handling concurrent imports, if applicable. This may involve checking settings related to data import processes in your SAP configuration.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support notes related to the specific version of SAP you are using for any known issues or additional troubleshooting steps.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like MDGIMG (for configuration) and MDG_MDS (for master data services) that may be relevant to your data import processes.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any updates or patches that may address known issues related to data imports.
  Performance Monitoring: Consider monitoring system performance and resource usage during data imports to identify potential bottlenecks.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to reach out to your SAP support team or consult with SAP directly for further assistance.
