• Message number: 005

• Message text: Temporary error in BPE inbound processing

What causes this issue?

A temporary error occurred while delivering a message to a process; this
error is likely to be corrected by an automatic processing retry.

System Response

The entry in the qRFC queue for the process type to which the message is
to be delivered is flagged as containing errors. The qRFC is stopped and
cannot deliver any more messages to processes of the same type until
processing of the entry with errors is repeated and completed
successfully.

How to fix this error?

Administrator action is not necessary unless the error is not resolved
by repeated processing. If the error does not disappear, it must be
handled as a permanent error. If temporary errors occur frequently, this
impairs the throughput for the affected process type. Use the usual
analysis methods to remedy the error.

Procedure for System Administrators

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