How To Fix STC_SC_TASKS137 - Task list run &1 export file could not be deleted after system copy

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: STC_SC_TASKS - System Copy Task Messages

• Message number: 137

• Message text: Task list run &1 export file could not be deleted after system copy

What causes this issue?

You are performing a system copy refresh scenario and you have confirmed
that the physical system copy is completed. Before the physical system
copy is started, the current task list run has been exported to the file
system to survive the copy. Now, the run will be continued in the
database of the local system. The file in the file system is out-dated
and not needed anymore.

System Response

The task list run file could not be found or deleted automatically.

How to fix this error?

Check the task log for further messages why the file could not be found
or deleted.

Procedure for System Administrators

It's optional to remove the file from the file system. But if you
perform several system copy scenarios sharing the same export folder it
could be confusing in future.
