• Message text: Another object analysis job is already active

What causes this issue?

In the <LS>OBJECT ANALYSIS control panel</>, you requested the start of
an object analysis with function key F5. Another object analysis job
is already active or is waiting for background processing.
It is possible that you did not completely leave the <LS>OBJECT
ANALYSIS control panel</> after previously starting the object analysis
and returning from the job overview. You therefore encountered a
display which was not yet refreshed and which is still offering to
start the object analysis with F5.

System Response

It is not possible to start a further instance of the object analysis.

How to fix this error?

If the selection screen of the <LS>OBJECT ANALYSIS control panel</>
still offers function key F5 for selection, you should leave the
program and then start RDDFINFO again. The display data is completely
refreshed.
Or use function key F7 or call the job overview (transaction SM37) to
check the status of the "OBJECT_ANALYSIS" job found.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TG481 - Another object analysis job is already active ?

  The SAP error message TG481 ("Another object analysis job is already active") typically occurs when you attempt to start an object analysis job in the SAP system while another job of the same type is already running. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when analyzing performance issues, data inconsistencies, or other system-related tasks.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Jobs: The primary cause of this error is that the system does not allow multiple instances of the same object analysis job to run simultaneously. This is a safeguard to prevent conflicts and ensure data integrity.
  Long-Running Jobs: If a previous job is taking longer than expected to complete, it may block the initiation of a new job.
  Job Stuck in Process: Sometimes, a job may be stuck or not properly terminated, leading the system to believe that it is still active.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Active Jobs: Use transaction codes like SM37 (Job Monitoring) to check for any active jobs related to object analysis. Look for jobs that are currently running or have failed.
  Wait for Completion: If you find an active job, you may need to wait for it to complete before starting a new one.
  Terminate Stuck Jobs: If a job is stuck or taking too long, you can terminate it. In SM37, select the job and choose the option to cancel or delete it.
  Review Job Logs: Check the logs of the active job to understand why it is taking longer than expected. This may provide insights into performance issues or other underlying problems.
  System Performance: If this issue occurs frequently, consider reviewing system performance and resource allocation to ensure that jobs can complete in a timely manner.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SM37 for job monitoring, SM21 for system logs, and ST22 for dump analysis, as they can help diagnose issues related to job execution.
  SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to object analysis jobs or performance tuning.
  System Configuration: Ensure that your system is configured correctly for job scheduling and that there are no restrictions that could lead to this error.
