The SAP error message
/SDF/MON012: There are already other analyses running
typically occurs in the context of SAP S/4HANA or SAP Analytics Cloud when a user attempts to start a new analysis or report while another analysis is already in progress. This is a safeguard to prevent multiple analyses from running simultaneously, which could lead to performance issues or data inconsistencies.Cause:
- Concurrent Analyses: The primary cause of this error is that there is already an analysis or report running in the background for the same user or session.
- Long-Running Queries: If a previous analysis takes a long time to complete, it may block subsequent analyses from starting.
- System Configuration: Certain system settings may limit the number of concurrent analyses that can be executed.
Solution:
- Wait for Completion: The simplest solution is to wait for the currently running analysis to complete. You can check the status of running analyses in the system.
- Terminate Running Analyses: If you have the necessary permissions, you can terminate the running analysis. This can usually be done through transaction codes like SM37 (for job monitoring) or by using the appropriate monitoring tools in the SAP system.
- Check Background Jobs: Use transaction SM37 to check for any background jobs that may be running and causing the blockage. You can cancel or delete jobs if necessary.
- Increase Concurrent Limits: If this is a frequent issue, consider discussing with your SAP Basis team about increasing the limits for concurrent analyses or optimizing the performance of long-running queries.
- Review System Performance: Analyze the performance of the system to identify any bottlenecks that may be causing analyses to take longer than expected.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
