• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SFSRFW_REPENGINE_MSG073 - Monitor is running ?

  The SAP error message SFSRFW_REPENGINE_MSG073 indicates that a report engine monitor is currently running. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's reporting framework, where a report or job is already being processed, and you are attempting to start another instance of the same report or job.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Execution: The report or job you are trying to execute is already running. SAP does not allow multiple instances of the same report to run simultaneously to prevent data inconsistencies and resource contention.
  Long-Running Jobs: If a report takes a long time to execute, it may still be running when you attempt to start it again.
  Job Scheduling: If the report is scheduled to run at specific intervals, it may be in the process of execution when you try to run it manually.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Running Jobs: Use transaction codes like SM37 (Job Monitoring) to check if the report is currently running. You can filter by user, job name, or status to find the specific job.
  Wait for Completion: If the report is running, you may need to wait for it to complete before attempting to run it again.
  Terminate the Job: If you determine that the job is stuck or taking too long, you can terminate it from the job monitoring screen (SM37) if you have the necessary permissions.
  Review Job Scheduling: If the report is scheduled to run frequently, consider adjusting the schedule to avoid overlaps.
  Check for Errors: If the report is running longer than expected, check for any underlying issues that may be causing delays, such as performance bottlenecks or data volume issues.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SM37 (Job Monitoring), SM21 (System Log), and ST22 (Dump Analysis) for troubleshooting.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to the report engine or specific reports you are working with.
  Performance Tuning: If reports frequently run into issues, consider performance tuning of the underlying queries or data models.
  
  If the problem persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis team or SAP support for further assistance.
