  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UC141 - TRANSFER TO QUEUE or CLOSE QUEUE failed RC: &1 ?

    The SAP error message "UC141 TRANSFER TO QUEUE or CLOSE QUEUE failed RC: &1" typically occurs in the context of background processing or when dealing with asynchronous processing in SAP systems, particularly in relation to the SAP enqueue mechanism. This error indicates that there was a failure in transferring or closing a queue, and the return code (RC) provides additional information about the nature of the failure.

    Possible Causes:

    1. Queue Locking Issues: The queue may be locked by another process, preventing the current process from transferring or closing it.
    2. System Resource Limitations: Insufficient system resources (like memory or processing power) can lead to failures in queue operations.
    3. Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration of the enqueue server or related components can lead to this error.
    4. Network Issues: If the SAP system is distributed across multiple servers, network issues can prevent proper communication between components.
    5. Database Issues: Problems with the underlying database (e.g., locks, deadlocks) can also lead to this error.

    Solutions:

    1. Check Locks: Use transaction codes like SM12 to check for locks on the queue. If you find locks that are not needed, you can release them.
    2. Monitor System Resources: Use transaction codes like ST02 (buffer management) and ST06 (OS monitoring) to check for resource bottlenecks. If resources are low, consider optimizing or increasing them.
    3. Review Configuration: Ensure that the enqueue server and related configurations are set up correctly. This may involve checking the SAP kernel version and ensuring it is up to date.
    4. Check Network Connectivity: If the system is distributed, ensure that all components can communicate properly. Check for any network issues that may be affecting communication.
    5. Database Health Check: Use database monitoring tools to check for locks or deadlocks in the database. Resolve any issues found.
    6. Review Logs: Check the SAP system logs (transaction SLG1) for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context about the failure.

    Related Information:

    • SAP Notes: Search for relevant SAP Notes in the SAP Support Portal that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
    • Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SM21 (system log), SM37 (job monitoring), and ST22 (dump analysis) to gather more information about the error context.
    • SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums to see if other users have encountered similar issues and what solutions they found effective.

    If the problem persists after trying the above solutions, it may be necessary to involve SAP support for further assistance.
