How To Fix TSGEN228 - Generation stopped due to & generation errors (see long text)

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: TSGEN - Messages For Transaction SGEN

• Message number: 228

• Message text: Generation stopped due to & generation errors (see long text)

What causes this issue?

Unable to generate many objects (the generation status displays the
value 'E', meaning that no syntax errors are involved). There are
several reasons for why these generation errors may occur. The most
frequent cause is that the tablespace containing the load tables is
full.

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?

Generation Status in the Database Table GENSETC
You can use the generation status of the objects in the database table
<DS:TB.GENSETC>GENSETC</> to determine how many objects:
Were generated successfully (GENSTATUS ='X'),
Are currently being processed (GENSTATUS ='P'),
Are still in initial status (GENSTATUS ='I'),
Showed a syntax error durin generation (GENSTATUS ='S')
Showed an error of a different type (GENSTATUS ='E').
Clarifying the Cause
The SysLog (transaction SM21) can be helpful when determining the cause
of generation errors. Here you also see entries if the most frequent
cause for a large number of generation errors was that a tablespace did
not have enough space for the load tables. You can check how much free
space is available in the tablespaces by calling transaction DB02.
Resuming Generation after Revealing the Cause of Error
To resume the generation after it has been stopped, choose the
generation task 'Regenerate the objects of the last run' when you
recall transaction <DS:DT.TX_SGEN_INFO1_PARA>SGEN</> and then choose
'Resume'. The servers that you select for parallel generation must have
the same machine type as those before the generation was stopped. The
transaction now resets the generation status of all objects with
generation errors (GENSTATUS ='E') to 'I' (initial). If you now restart
the generation, all objects that have not yet been edited (GENSTATUS
='I') are generated.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TSGEN228 - Generation stopped due to & generation errors (see long text) ?

  The SAP error message TSGEN228 indicates that the generation of a particular object has been stopped due to errors encountered during the generation process. This message is typically associated with the generation of ABAP programs, function modules, or other repository objects in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  The error can be caused by several factors, including but not limited to:
  
  Syntax Errors: There may be syntax errors in the ABAP code that prevent successful generation.
  Missing Objects: Dependencies such as function modules, classes, or data elements that are referenced in the code may be missing or not activated.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to generate the object.
  Transport Issues: If the object is part of a transport request, there may be issues with the transport itself.
  Database Issues: Problems with the underlying database or inconsistencies in the database schema can also lead to generation errors.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the TSGEN228 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the Long Text: The error message usually has a long text that provides more details about the specific errors encountered. Use transaction SE91 to view the long text associated with the error message.
  
  
  Review Syntax: If the error is related to syntax, open the object in the ABAP Editor (transaction SE38 or SE80) and check for any syntax errors. Use the syntax check (Ctrl + F2) to identify issues.
  
  
  Check Dependencies: Ensure that all dependent objects are available and activated. You can use transaction SE80 to check for any missing objects.
  
  
  Authorization Check: Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the generation. Check the user's roles and authorizations in transaction PFCG.
  
  
  Transport Request: If the object is part of a transport request, ensure that the transport is correctly released and imported into the target system.
  
  
  Database Consistency: Check for any database inconsistencies. You may need to run database consistency checks or consult with your database administrator.
  
  
  Re-Generate the Object: After addressing the issues, try to regenerate the object again. You can do this by using the appropriate transaction (e.g., SE38 for programs).
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes: If the issue persists, check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address the specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: SE38 (ABAP Editor), SE80 (Object Navigator), SE91 (Message Class), PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  SAP Notes: Search for specific SAP Notes related to TSGEN228 or the specific object type you are working with.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for more information on ABAP programming and object generation.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the underlying issues causing the TSGEN228 error in your SAP system.
