• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SUPG_SGEN067 - Shadow SGEN aborted. SUM should continue with next phase soon. ?

  The SAP error message SUPG_SGEN067 indicates that the shadow SGEN (SAP's generation of ABAP programs) process has been aborted during a Software Update Manager (SUM) operation. This can happen for various reasons, and understanding the cause is crucial for resolving the issue.
  Possible Causes:
  
  Insufficient Resources: The system may not have enough memory or CPU resources to complete the shadow SGEN process.
  Lock Issues: There may be locks on database objects or files that prevent the SGEN process from completing.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration settings in the system can lead to failures during the SGEN process.
  Transport Issues: Problems with transport requests or missing objects can cause the SGEN process to fail.
  ABAP Code Issues: Errors in custom ABAP code or modifications can lead to failures during the generation process.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Logs: Review the SUM logs and the SGEN logs for detailed error messages that can provide insights into the specific cause of the failure.
  
  Look for logs in the directory: SUM\abap\log and SUM\abap\trace.
  
  
  
  Resource Allocation: Ensure that the system has adequate resources (CPU, memory, disk space) available. You may need to increase the resources allocated to the system.
  
  
  Release Locks: Check for any locks on database objects or files. You can use transaction codes like SM12 (for lock entries) and SM21 (for system log) to identify and resolve lock issues.
  
  
  Configuration Review: Verify the configuration settings in the SUM tool and ensure they are correct. This includes checking the parameters in the SUM configuration files.
  
  
  Transport Consistency: Ensure that all required transport requests are imported and that there are no inconsistencies in the transport directory.
  
  
  Custom Code Review: If you suspect that custom ABAP code is causing the issue, review the code for errors or inconsistencies. You may need to temporarily disable or adjust custom code to allow SGEN to complete.
  
  
  Retry the Process: After addressing the identified issues, you can restart the SUM process. It should continue with the next phase if the previous issues are resolved.
