• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SATCM201 - No restart since number of job terminations > &1 (analyze Syslog) ?

  The SAP error message SATCM201 indicates that a job has not been restarted because the number of job terminations has exceeded a specified threshold. This is a protective measure to prevent the system from entering an unstable state due to repeated job failures.
  Cause:
  
  
  Job Failures: The primary cause of this error is that the job has terminated multiple times (more than the allowed threshold). This could be due to various reasons, such as:
  
  Application errors in the job logic.
  Resource issues (e.g., memory, database locks).
  Configuration problems.
  External dependencies failing (e.g., file systems, network issues).
  
  
  
  System Configuration: The threshold for job terminations is set in the system configuration. If the threshold is too low for the type of jobs being executed, it may trigger this error more frequently.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Analyze the Syslog: The error message suggests analyzing the system log (Syslog) for more details about the job terminations. You can do this by:
  
  Using transaction code SM21 to view the system log.
  Checking for any error messages or warnings that occurred around the time of the job failures.
  
  
  
  Check Job Logs: Review the job logs for the specific job that is failing. You can do this using transaction code SM37. Look for:
  
  Error messages that indicate why the job failed.
  Any patterns in the failures (e.g., specific times, conditions).
  
  
  
  Adjust Job Configuration: If the job is failing due to a configuration issue, you may need to:
  
  Modify the job parameters.
  Increase the threshold for job terminations if appropriate.
  Ensure that all dependencies and resources required by the job are available and functioning correctly.
  
  
  
  Fix Underlying Issues: Address any underlying issues that are causing the job to fail. This may involve:
  
  Debugging the job logic.
  Resolving resource constraints.
  Ensuring that external systems are operational.
  
  
  
  Restart the Job: Once the issues have been resolved, you can manually restart the job. If the job is still not restarting automatically, you may need to reset the termination count or adjust the job settings.
