How To Fix TSGEN218 - Generating & objects of the canceled jobs

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: TSGEN - Messages For Transaction SGEN

• Message number: 218

• Message text: Generating & objects of the canceled jobs

What causes this issue?

The termination of parallel processes can lead to objects that are
assigned to the parallel processes keeping the generation status
'P'.
You can find the definition of the generation status in the
documentation of DB table <DS:TB.GENSETC>GENSETC</> (Storage of
Generation Set).

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

System Response

The system takes care of the situation described above by checking at
the end of the generation process whether there are still objects that
have GENSTATUS = 'P'. If such objects are found, their generation status
is initialized again (GENSTATUS = 'I'). The system then restarts the
parallel generation, and processes these
initialized objects.
