• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /STMC/CR_MSG117 - Error while recording statistics; previous subcomponent &1 not finished ?

  The SAP error message /STMC/CR_MSG117 indicates that there is an issue with recording statistics in the system, specifically that a previous subcomponent has not been finished before attempting to record statistics for the current component. This can occur in various contexts, such as during the execution of a transaction or when processing data in a background job.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the system is trying to record statistics for a component that is dependent on the completion of a previous subcomponent. If the previous subcomponent has not been completed or has encountered an error, the system will not allow the recording of statistics for the current component.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Previous Subcomponent Status: Investigate the status of the previous subcomponent that is mentioned in the error message. Ensure that it has completed successfully. You may need to look at logs or transaction codes related to the process to identify any issues.
  
  
  Review Logs: Check the application logs (transaction SLG1) or system logs (transaction SM21) for any related error messages or warnings that could provide more context about why the previous subcomponent did not finish.
  
  
  Restart the Process: If the previous subcomponent is stuck or has failed, you may need to restart the entire process or transaction. Ensure that all necessary prerequisites are met before starting again.
  
  
  Check for Locks: Sometimes, database locks or other resource locks can prevent a subcomponent from finishing. Use transaction SM12 to check for any locks that might be affecting the process.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If the error persists, refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific transaction or process you are working with. There may be known issues or patches available.
