  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UJTM021 - Empty file uploaded ?

    The SAP error message UJTM021, which indicates "Empty file uploaded," typically occurs when a file that is being uploaded to the SAP system does not contain any data or is not formatted correctly. This error can arise in various contexts, such as during data uploads for master data, transactional data, or other processes that require file input.

    Causes:

    1. Empty File: The file being uploaded is completely empty, meaning it has no data or records.
    2. Incorrect File Format: The file format may not be compatible with the expected format in SAP, leading to the system interpreting it as empty.
    3. File Encoding Issues: The file may be encoded in a way that SAP cannot read, such as using an unsupported character set.
    4. Data Extraction Issues: If the file was generated from another system or process, there may have been an issue during the extraction that resulted in an empty file.
    5. File Path Issues: The file path may be incorrect, leading to the wrong file being accessed or an empty placeholder file being uploaded.

    Solutions:

    1. Check the File: Open the file in a text editor or spreadsheet application to ensure it contains the expected data. If it is empty, regenerate the file with the correct data.
    2. Verify File Format: Ensure that the file is in the correct format (e.g., CSV, TXT) as required by the SAP upload process. Check the documentation for the specific upload function to confirm the expected format.
    3. Encoding Check: Make sure the file is saved with the correct encoding (e.g., UTF-8) that SAP can read. Re-save the file with the appropriate encoding if necessary.
    4. Review Data Extraction Process: If the file is generated from another system, review the extraction process to ensure that data is being captured correctly.
    5. Correct File Path: Double-check the file path and ensure that the correct file is being uploaded. If using a script or program to upload, ensure it points to the right file.
    6. Test with Sample Data: Create a small sample file with known data to test the upload process. This can help identify if the issue is with the specific file or the upload process itself.

    Related Information:

    • SAP Documentation: Refer to the specific SAP module documentation for details on file upload requirements and formats.
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to file uploads that may address this error.
    • Community Forums: Engage with SAP community forums or support channels for additional insights and troubleshooting tips from other users who may have encountered the same issue.
