• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UR480 - Run &1 cannot be cleaned up until run &2 has been cleaned up too ?

  The SAP error message UR480 indicates that there is a dependency between two background jobs or runs in the SAP system. Specifically, it means that the cleanup process for run &1 cannot proceed until the cleanup for run &2 has been completed. This typically occurs in the context of background processing, where certain jobs or runs are interdependent.
  Cause:
  
  Job Dependencies: The error arises when there are dependencies between different background jobs. For example, if run &1 is dependent on the completion of run &2, the system will not allow the cleanup of run &1 until run &2 has been cleaned up.
  Incomplete Processing: If run &2 has not completed its processing or has encountered an error, it may prevent the cleanup of run &1.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the job scheduling or background processing that enforce these dependencies.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Job Status: Use transaction codes like SM37 to check the status of both runs (run &1 and run &2). Ensure that run &2 has completed successfully.
  Clean Up Run &2: If run &2 is still in progress or has failed, you may need to address the issues with run &2 first. This could involve:
  
  Restarting the job if it has failed.
  Resolving any errors that are preventing it from completing.
  
  
  Manual Cleanup: If run &2 has completed but is still causing issues, you may need to manually clean it up. This can involve deleting or archiving the job data associated with run &2.
  Review Job Dependencies: If the dependency is not required, you may need to review and adjust the job scheduling or dependencies in the system configuration.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support notes related to background processing and job management for further guidance.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: 
  
  SM37: Monitor background jobs.
  SM36: Define background jobs.
  SM21: Check system logs for errors.
  
  
  SAP Notes: Search for relevant SAP Notes in the SAP Support Portal that may address specific issues related to job dependencies and cleanup processes.
  System Performance: Ensure that the system is not overloaded, as this can sometimes lead to jobs hanging or not completing as expected.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis team or reach out to SAP support for further assistance.
