How To Fix TSGEN003 - There are still & objects from an earlier selection to be generated

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: TSGEN - Messages For Transaction SGEN

• Message number: 003

• Message text: There are still & objects from an earlier selection to be generated

What causes this issue?

The system has identified objects that are waiting to be generated (for
example, from a previous selection or due to an earlier generation run
being terminated).

System Response

At the moment, no generation job is active or scheduled.
Either the system can now continue to process the identified objects,
or you can use your selection to compose a new generation set (DB table
<DS:TB.GENSETC>GENSETC</>)

How to fix this error?

If you want to use the list of objects that are still to be generated,
or if you want to regenerate all objects of the previous run, choose
<ZK>Regenerate the objects of the last run</> in the menu bar. On the
next screen, <ZK>Number of objects generated during the last run</>,
the following options are available to you:
Restart: Only objects in the generation set that were not generated in
the previous run, or whose generation was terminated due to a system
error, are generated.
Regeneration: All objects of the generation set that was defined in the
previous run are regenerated.
If the generation set of the previous run is to be used no longer, then
choose the transaction of an alternative on the initial screen and then
choose <ZK>Continue</> to execute. The generation set that is
identified at the beginning of this message is therefore discarded and
replaced with your new selection.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TSGEN003 - There are still & objects from an earlier selection to be generated ?

  The SAP error message TSGEN003 indicates that there are still objects from a previous selection that need to be generated. This typically occurs during the generation of objects in the SAP system, such as when you are trying to generate ABAP programs, function modules, or other repository objects.
  Cause:
  The error usually arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Incomplete Generation: The previous generation process was not completed successfully, leaving some objects in a pending state.
  Locking Issues: There may be locks on certain objects that prevent them from being generated.
  Dependencies: Some objects may depend on others that have not yet been generated or are in an inconsistent state.
  User Interruptions: The generation process may have been interrupted by a user or system error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the TSGEN003 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the Generation Log: Review the generation log to identify which objects are still pending. This can provide insight into what is causing the issue.
  
  
  Complete the Generation: If you can identify the specific objects that need to be generated, try to generate them manually. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., SE80 for Object Navigator) and generating the objects individually.
  
  
  Release Locks: If there are locks on the objects, you can use transaction SM12 to check for and release any locks that may be preventing the generation.
  
  
  Check Dependencies: Ensure that all dependent objects are in a consistent state and have been generated. If there are dependencies that are not met, resolve those first.
  
  
  Restart the Generation Process: If the above steps do not resolve the issue, you may need to restart the generation process. This can sometimes clear up any temporary issues.
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error. There may be patches or updates that can resolve underlying issues.
