• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PPC_REORG002 - Reorganization run was started ?

  The SAP error message PPC_REORG002 indicates that a reorganization run has already been started for a particular object or process, and therefore, a new reorganization cannot be initiated until the current one is completed or canceled.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Reorganization: The most common cause of this error is that a reorganization process is already in progress for the same data or object. This can happen if a previous reorganization was not completed successfully or is still running.
  System Lock: The system may have a lock on the data or object that prevents a new reorganization from starting.
  Long-running Processes: If the previous reorganization process is taking longer than expected, it may 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 reorganization process. Look for jobs that are currently running or have failed.
  If you find a job that is stuck or taking too long, you may need to analyze it further.
  
  
  
  Cancel or Complete the Existing Run:
  
  If the existing reorganization run is still active and you determine that it should be canceled, you can do so from the job monitoring screen (SM37) by selecting the job and choosing the cancel option.
  If the job has failed, you may need to investigate the logs to understand why it failed and take corrective actions.
  
  
  
  Wait for Completion: 
  
  If the reorganization process is still running and you do not want to cancel it, you may need to wait until it completes before starting a new reorganization.
  
  
  
  Check for Locks: 
  
  Use transaction SM12 to check for any locks that might be preventing the reorganization from starting. If you find locks that are no longer needed, you can delete them.
  
  
  
  Review Logs: 
  
  Check the logs for the previous reorganization run to identify any issues that may have caused it to hang or fail. This can provide insights into what went wrong and how to prevent it in the future.
