How To Fix TSGEN104 - Generation is being canceled. Wait until 'Job status: Completed' appears.

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: TSGEN - Messages For Transaction SGEN

• Message number: 104

• Message text: Generation is being canceled. Wait until 'Job status: Completed' appears.

What causes this issue?

Termination of the generation process has already been initiated and is
still taking place. Wait until "Job status: Completed" appears.

System Response

Since the generation is based on parallel processing, an immediate
termination is impossible. The termination procedure that is realized
here completes the parallel processing for a small object set*. The
background job that manages the parallel processing is subsequently
completed in the same way. Depending on the size of the amount
generated, this procedure may take several minutes or more, but it
finalizes the generation with a consistent system status.
* To find the number of objects X that are still to be processed before
the end of the termination procedure, see <ZK>Job Overview</> ->
<ZK>Job Log</> -> Consistent termination: <(><<)>X> objects still to be
generated.

How to fix this error?

To avoid inconsistencies in the system, wait until the termination is
indicated with "Job status: completed".
You can generate the objects that are still not generated after the
termination by calling the transaction again and choosing
<ZK>Regenerate the objects of the last run</> -> <ZK>Restart</>.

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.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TSGEN104 - Generation is being canceled. Wait until 'Job status: Completed' appears. ?

  The SAP error message TSGEN104 indicates that a generation process (typically related to the generation of objects like programs, function modules, or other repository objects) has been canceled. This message usually appears when a job that is responsible for generating these objects is still running or has not yet completed.
  Cause:
  
  Job Still Running: The most common cause is that the generation job is still in progress. The system is waiting for the job to complete before it can proceed.
  Job Cancellation: The job may have been manually canceled or terminated due to various reasons, such as system overload or user intervention.
  Resource Issues: Insufficient system resources (like memory or processing power) can lead to delays or cancellations in job processing.
  Lock Issues: There may be locks on the objects being generated, preventing the job from completing successfully.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Job Status: Use transaction code SM37 to check the status of the job. Look for the job that corresponds to the generation process and see if it is still running or has completed.
  Wait for Completion: If the job is still running, wait until it completes. The message indicates that you should wait until the job status shows as "Completed."
  Analyze Job Logs: If the job has failed or been canceled, check the job logs for any error messages or reasons for the cancellation. This can provide insights into what went wrong.
  Restart the Job: If the job has failed, you may need to restart it. Ensure that any issues causing the failure are resolved before doing so.
  Check for Locks: Use transaction code SM12 to check for any locks on the objects involved in the generation process. If there are locks, you may need to resolve them before proceeding.
  System Resources: Ensure that the system has adequate resources (CPU, memory) to handle the job. If necessary, optimize the system performance or schedule the job during off-peak hours.
