  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message >U347 - Run &1, date &2 currently being processed by user &3 ?

    The SAP error message "U347 Run &1, date &2 currently being processed by user &3" typically indicates that a background job or process is already running for a specific run ID and date, and another attempt to start the same job is being made by a different user. This is a common issue in SAP systems when multiple users try to execute the same job simultaneously.

    Cause:

    1. Concurrent Execution: The job identified by the run ID (&1) and date (&2) is already being processed by another user (&3).
    2. Job Locking Mechanism: SAP has a locking mechanism to prevent multiple instances of the same job from running at the same time to avoid data inconsistencies or conflicts.

    Solution:

    1. Wait for Completion: The simplest solution is to wait for the currently running job to complete. You can check the status of the job in transaction SM37 (Job Monitoring).
    2. Check Job Status: Use transaction SM37 to find out who is running the job and its current status. You can filter by the job name, user, and date.
    3. Terminate the Job: If the job is stuck or taking too long, and you have the necessary authorizations, you can terminate it. In SM37, select the job and choose the option to cancel or delete it.
    4. Schedule for a Different Time: If the job is expected to take a long time, consider scheduling it for a different time when it is less likely to conflict with other jobs.
    5. Review Job Scheduling: If this is a recurring issue, review the job scheduling strategy to avoid overlaps in the future.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes:
      • SM37: Job Monitoring
      • SM36: Define Background Job
      • SM21: System Log
    • User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view and manage background jobs.
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to job scheduling and execution.

    If the problem persists or if you need further assistance, consider reaching out to your SAP Basis team or consulting SAP support for more detailed troubleshooting.
