Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VC_REPLICATION_MSG005 - Can't create another SLT config. Delete or wait for deletion of config &1 ?

  The SAP error message VC_REPLICATION_MSG005 indicates that you are trying to create a new SLT (SAP Landscape Transformation) configuration, but the system has reached its limit for active configurations. This typically happens when there are already too many SLT configurations in place, and the system is unable to create a new one until an existing configuration is deleted or its deletion is processed.
  Cause:
  
  Limit on Active Configurations: The system has a predefined limit on the number of active SLT configurations that can be created. This limit can vary based on system settings and configurations.
  Pending Deletion: If you have recently deleted an SLT configuration, it may still be in the process of being removed from the system, which can temporarily prevent the creation of new configurations.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Configurations:
  
  Go to the SLT configuration transaction (usually LTRC).
  Review the list of existing configurations to see if there are any that can be deleted.
  
  
  
  Delete Unused Configurations:
  
  If you find any configurations that are no longer needed, you can delete them. Make sure to follow the proper steps to delete an SLT configuration:
  
  Select the configuration you want to delete.
  Choose the option to delete it.
  Confirm the deletion.
  
  
  
  
  
  Wait for Deletion:
  
  If you have recently deleted a configuration, you may need to wait for the system to complete the deletion process. This can take some time, depending on the size and complexity of the configuration.
  
  
  
  Increase Configuration Limit (if applicable):
  
  If you frequently need more configurations than the current limit allows, consider discussing with your SAP Basis team about increasing the limit, if possible.
  
  
  
  Check for Errors:
  
  Ensure that there are no errors in the SLT system that might be causing configurations to remain active longer than expected.
