• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PRA/PN130 - Exclusive wait; &1 already running ?

  The SAP error message /PRA/PN130 Exclusive wait; &1 already running typically indicates that a process or job is trying to start while another instance of the same process is already running. This is a common issue in SAP systems where certain jobs or transactions are designed to run exclusively to prevent data inconsistencies or conflicts.
  
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Execution: The job or process is already running in the background, and the system does not allow another instance to start until the first one completes.
  Long-Running Processes: The existing process may be taking longer than expected, causing subsequent attempts to trigger the same process to fail.
  System Configuration: The system may be configured to prevent concurrent execution of certain jobs or transactions for data integrity reasons.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Running Jobs: Use transaction codes like SM37 (Job Monitoring) to check if the job is currently running. If it is, you may need to wait for it to complete.
