• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message OIURR118 - Display only - A report is running or scheduled for the same selection ?

  The SAP error message OIURR118, which states "Display only - A report is running or scheduled for the same selection," typically occurs in the context of SAP's reporting tools when a user attempts to run a report that is already being executed or has been scheduled with the same selection criteria.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Execution: The error is primarily caused by an attempt to run a report that is already in progress or has been scheduled with the same parameters. SAP restricts multiple executions of the same report to prevent data inconsistencies and resource conflicts.
  Long-Running Reports: If a report takes a significant amount of time to execute, it may lead to this error if another user or the same user tries to run it again with the same selection criteria.
  Background Jobs: If a background job is scheduled for the same report with the same selection criteria, it will also trigger this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Running Reports: 
  
  Use transaction code SM37 to check for any running or scheduled jobs. You can filter by user, job name, or status to find the specific report.
  If you find that the report is running, you may need to wait for it to complete before attempting to run it again.
  
  
  
  Cancel or Delete Jobs: 
  
  If you have the necessary permissions and determine that a job is stuck or no longer needed, you can cancel or delete it from the job overview in SM37.
  
  
  
  Modify Selection Criteria: 
  
  If you need to run the report urgently, consider modifying the selection criteria slightly (e.g., changing date ranges or filters) to avoid the conflict.
  
  
  
  Contact Administrator: 
  
  If you are unable to resolve the issue, contact your SAP system administrator or support team for assistance. They may have additional tools or permissions to manage running jobs.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SM37 (Job Monitoring) and SM21 (System Log) for troubleshooting.
  Performance Considerations: If reports frequently take a long time to run, consider optimizing the report or the underlying data model to improve performance.
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on how to check for running reports before executing new ones to minimize conflicts.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the OIURR118 error effectively.
