• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message S_DX_BAPI090 - Program run &2 of run definition &1 exists already ?

  The SAP error message S_DX_BAPI090 with the description "Program run &2 of run definition &1 exists already" typically occurs in the context of SAP Data Services or SAP Business Warehouse (BW) when you are trying to execute a data extraction or data load process that has already been initiated or is currently running.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Execution: The error indicates that there is an attempt to start a new run of a data extraction or load process (defined by run definition &1) that is already in progress (run &2).
  Concurrency Issues: The system may not allow multiple instances of the same job to run simultaneously to prevent data inconsistencies or resource contention.
  Job Scheduling: If the job is scheduled to run at specific intervals, it may overlap with another instance of the same job.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Running Jobs: 
  
  Go to the relevant transaction (e.g., SM37 for job monitoring) and check if the job with the same run definition is currently running. If it is, you may need to wait for it to complete.
  
  
  
  Cancel or Delete the Existing Job: 
  
  If the existing job is stuck or needs to be restarted, you can cancel or delete it from the job monitoring screen.
  
  
  
  Adjust Scheduling: 
  
  If the job is scheduled to run at overlapping times, consider adjusting the schedule to avoid conflicts.
  
  
  
  Review Job Definitions: 
  
  Ensure that the job definitions are set up correctly and that there are no unintended overlaps in execution times.
  
  
  
  Increase Concurrency (if applicable): 
  
  If your system allows it and if it makes sense for your business process, you may consider configuring the system to allow multiple instances of the same job to run concurrently. However, this should be done with caution to avoid data integrity issues.
