How To Fix SWF_XI_ADAPTER405 - Inbound queue &1 (SMQ2) for process type &2 is not stopped


SAP Error Message - Details

  • Message type: E = Error

  • Message class: SWF_XI_ADAPTER - XI BPM: Messages

  • Message number: 405

  • Message text: Inbound queue &1 (SMQ2) for process type &2 is not stopped

  • Show details Hide details
  • What causes this issue?

    You want to change the settings for inbound processing for a process
    type. This change is not permitted because the process-type-specific
    queue is not stopped.

    System Response

    The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

    How to fix this error?

    The short text of the error message specifies which queue must have a
    stop entry. Copy the queue name and call transaction SMQ2. Start the
    selection using the copied queue name. The possibilities are as follows:
    The queue does not exist
    Try to make the settings again.
    The queue exists
    Create a stop entry in the queue. Wait until no more queue entries are
    being processed. Note that stopping the queue does not affect the queue
    entry currently being processed; only the subsequent entries are
    stopped.
    When the queue is stopped, you should be able to change the setting for
    the process type.
    <ZH>Note the following:</> A non-existent queue may be seen as stopped
    in the system, since inbound processing is locked while the settings are
    being changed. Once a queue entry exists, the administrator must create
    a stop entry for the corresponding queue. If, in the first case, the
    system still refuses the change, this is probably because the queue
    became existent or still existed in the meantime. Since new queue
    entries are constantly being added, you must only change the settings
    for inbound processing when the system load is low. You may have to make
    several attempts to stop the queue in SMQ2 and change the setting.
