• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSCRT010 - No deletion possible, because daemon is still running ?

  The SAP error message RSCRT010 indicates that a deletion operation cannot be performed because a daemon process is still running. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's background processing or when dealing with data archiving and deletion jobs.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the presence of a running daemon process that is preventing the deletion of certain data or objects. This can happen in various scenarios, such as:
  
  Background Jobs: A background job related to the data you are trying to delete is still active.
  Archiving Processes: An archiving process is currently running, which locks the data you want to delete.
  Long-Running Transactions: There may be long-running transactions or processes that are holding locks on the data.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSCRT010 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Running Jobs:
  
  Go to transaction code SM37 to check for any background jobs that are currently running. Look for jobs related to the data you are trying to delete.
  If you find any relevant jobs, you may need to wait for them to complete or terminate them if they are stuck.
  
  
  
  Check Daemon Processes:
  
  Use transaction code SM50 or SM66 to monitor the work processes and see if there are any active processes that might be causing the lock.
  If you identify a process that is causing the issue, you can either wait for it to finish or, if necessary, terminate it.
  
  
  
  Check for Locks:
  
  Use transaction code SM12 to check for any locks on the database objects you are trying to delete. If there are locks, you may need to wait for them to be released or manually delete them if appropriate.
  
  
  
  Review Archiving Settings:
  
  If the issue is related to archiving, ensure that the archiving process is completed successfully. You can check the status of archiving jobs in transaction SARA.
  
  
  
  Retry Deletion:
  
  Once you have confirmed that no relevant processes are running and there are no locks, you can retry the deletion operation.
