• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /MVA/ABP_PP002 - Run session is already initialized ?

  The SAP error message /MVA/ABP_PP002 Run session is already initialized typically occurs in the context of the Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module, particularly when dealing with planning runs or sessions. This error indicates that a planning session has already been initialized, and the system is trying to initialize it again, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Initializations: The most common cause is that a planning run or session has already been started, and the system does not allow a second initialization until the first one is completed or terminated.
  Session Management: There may be issues with session management, where the previous session did not close properly or is still active.
  User Errors: Users may inadvertently attempt to start the same planning run multiple times.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Active Sessions: Verify if there are any active sessions for the planning run. You can do this by checking the session management in the APO system.
  Terminate Existing Sessions: If you find that a session is still active and should not be, you may need to terminate it. This can usually be done through transaction codes like /MVA/ABP or using the appropriate APO transaction for managing planning runs.
  Wait for Completion: If the session is running, you may need to wait for it to complete before attempting to initialize a new one.
  Review Logs: Check the logs for any errors or warnings that might indicate why the session is still active or why it did not terminate properly.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific version of APO you are using, as there may be version-specific issues or patches available.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in APO for managing planning runs, such as /MVA/ABP for planning run management.
