• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PSHLP_MSG_CL059 - Deletion started in the background ?

  The SAP error message PSHLP_MSG_CL059 indicates that a deletion process has been initiated in the background. This message typically occurs in the context of SAP's Project System (PS) or related modules when a deletion operation is triggered but has not yet completed.
  Cause:
  
  Background Deletion Process: The message signifies that a deletion job has been started in the background, which means that the system is processing the deletion request asynchronously.
  Long Processing Time: The deletion operation may take longer than expected due to the volume of data being processed or system performance issues.
  Job Scheduling: The deletion job may have been scheduled to run at a specific time or triggered by a user action, and the system is informing you that the process is underway.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Job Status: 
  
  Go to transaction code SM37 (Job Monitoring) to check the status of the background job. You can filter by user, job name, or date to find the relevant job.
  Look for any errors or messages related to the job to understand if it completed successfully or if there were issues.
  
  
  
  Wait for Completion: 
  
  If the job is still running, you may need to wait for it to complete. Depending on the system load and the amount of data being deleted, this could take some time.
  
  
  
  Review Logs: 
  
  If the job has completed but you still encounter issues, review the job logs for any error messages or warnings that could indicate what went wrong during the deletion process.
  
  
  
  Manual Intervention: 
  
  If the job has failed or is stuck, you may need to manually intervene. This could involve canceling the job and re-initiating the deletion process or addressing any underlying issues that caused the failure.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or support notes related to the specific transaction or process you are working with for additional guidance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SE38 (for executing reports), SM37 (for job monitoring), and SLG1 (for application log) to troubleshoot further.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to the error message. You can search the SAP Support Portal for specific notes that might address your situation.
  Performance Considerations: If deletions are frequently taking a long time, consider reviewing system performance, database indexing, or optimizing the deletion process.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to reach out to your SAP Basis team or SAP support for further assistance.
