How To Fix TSGEN105 - It may take a few minutes to cancel generation

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: TSGEN - Messages For Transaction SGEN

• Message number: 105

• Message text: It may take a few minutes to cancel generation

What causes this issue?

You have chosen to terminate generation.

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.

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?

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</>.
