• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SATCM174 - Check run scheduler already active (check run: &1, &2, user: &3) ?

  The SAP error message SATCM174 indicates that a check run scheduler is already active for a specific check run. This typically occurs when a scheduled job or process is already running, and a new attempt to start the same job is made, leading to a conflict.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Execution: The most common cause is that the check run (identified by the parameters &1 and &2) is already being executed by another user (identified by &3).
  Job Overlap: If the check run is scheduled to run at overlapping times, it may trigger this error.
  System Configuration: There may be system settings or configurations that prevent multiple instances of the same check run from executing simultaneously.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Active 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.
  Cancel or Reschedule: If the job is stuck or taking too long, you may consider canceling it (if you have the necessary permissions) and then rescheduling the check run.
  Review Scheduling: Ensure that the scheduling of the check runs does not overlap. Adjust the timing of the jobs to avoid conflicts.
  User Coordination: If multiple users are trying to run the same check, coordinate with them to avoid simultaneous executions.
  System Settings: Consult with your SAP Basis team to review system settings that may affect job scheduling and execution.
