• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/MSDP_SEASON090 - A job for generating seasonal LC objects is still running ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/MSDP_SEASON090 indicates that a job for generating seasonal lifecycle (LC) objects is still running. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) or SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) when a process that generates seasonal data is already in progress, and a new request to start the same job is made.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Job Execution: The most common cause of this error is that a previous job for generating seasonal LC objects is still executing. SAP does not allow multiple instances of the same job to run simultaneously to prevent data inconsistencies.
  Long Processing Time: The job may be taking longer than expected due to a large volume of data or system performance issues.
  Job Stuck in a Loop: In some cases, the job may be stuck due to an error or infinite loop, causing it to run indefinitely.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Job Status: Use transaction code SM37 to check the status of the job. Look for any jobs related to seasonal LC object generation and see if they are still running or if they have failed.
  Wait for Completion: If the job is still running, you may need to wait for it to complete before starting a new job.
  Terminate the Job: If the job is stuck or taking too long, you can terminate it from the SM37 transaction. Select the job and choose the option to cancel or terminate it.
  Review Job Logs: After terminating the job, review the job logs for any errors or warnings that may indicate why the job took so long or failed.
  Adjust Job Scheduling: If this is a recurring issue, consider adjusting the scheduling of the job to run during off-peak hours or optimizing the job parameters to improve performance.
  System Performance: Check the overall system performance and resource utilization. If the system is under heavy load, it may affect job execution times.
