• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCRM201 - No restart since number of job terminations > &1 (analyze Syslog) ?

  The SAP error message SCRM201 indicates that a job has not been restarted because the number of job terminations has exceeded a specified threshold. This is a warning that suggests there may be underlying issues with the job or the system that need to be addressed.
  Cause:
  
  
  Job Failures: The job has failed multiple times, which could be due to various reasons such as:
  
  Incorrect job configuration or parameters.
  Missing or incorrect data that the job is trying to process.
  Resource issues (e.g., memory, CPU) on the application server.
  Dependencies on other jobs that have not completed successfully.
  System or network issues affecting job execution.
  
  
  
  Threshold Exceeded: The system has a built-in threshold for the number of allowed job terminations before it stops attempting to restart the job. This is a safety mechanism to prevent continuous failures from consuming system resources.
  
  
  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 SM21 to view the system log.
  Filtering the log for messages related to the specific job or time frame when the job failed.
  
  
  
  Check Job Logs: Review the job logs for the specific job that is failing. You can do this using transaction SM37:
  
  Look for the job in question and check its status and logs.
  Identify the reason for the job failures.
  
  
  
  Correct the Issues: Based on the analysis of the Syslog and job logs, take corrective actions:
  
  Fix any configuration issues or incorrect parameters.
  Ensure that all required data is available and correct.
  Address any resource constraints on the server.
  Check for dependencies and ensure that prerequisite jobs have completed successfully.
  
  
  
  Adjust Job Settings: If necessary, you can adjust the job settings to increase the threshold for job terminations, but this should be done with caution and only if you are confident that the underlying issues have been resolved.
  
  
  Restart the Job: Once the issues have been addressed, you can manually restart the job if it is still needed.
