  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WGDS_PROCESS165 - No active VE-Processor Application, process aborted ?

    The SAP error message:

    WGDS_PROCESS165 No active VE-Processor Application, process aborted

    typically occurs in the context of SAP Global Trade Services (GTS) or SAP Event Management (EM) when a process tries to execute a VE-Processor (Value-Added Event Processor) application, but no active instance of the VE-Processor application is found or running.


    Cause

    • No active VE-Processor application instance is running: The process that requires the VE-Processor to be active cannot find any running instance.
    • The VE-Processor application might not have been started or has stopped unexpectedly.
    • Configuration issues where the VE-Processor application is not properly assigned or activated.
    • System or network issues causing the VE-Processor application to be unreachable.
    • In some cases, the VE-Processor application might be active but not registered correctly in the system.

    Explanation

    The VE-Processor is a component in SAP Event Management that processes events and triggers actions based on event data. If the VE-Processor application is not active, event processing cannot continue, leading to the process being aborted with this error.


    Solution

    1. Check VE-Processor Application Status

      • Verify if the VE-Processor application is running.
      • In SAP Event Management, use transaction /SAPTRX/VEP or relevant monitoring tools to check the status of the VE-Processor.
      • Alternatively, check the operating system or application server where the VE-Processor runs to ensure the process is active.
    2. Start or Restart the VE-Processor Application

      • If the VE-Processor is not running, start it.
      • If it is running but not responding, restart the application.
      • This can often be done via SAP NetWeaver Administrator or relevant process management tools.
    3. Check Configuration

      • Ensure that the VE-Processor application is correctly configured and assigned to the relevant event types or processes.
      • Verify the configuration in the Event Management customizing (SPRO) under Event Management ? Process Management ? VE-Processor.
    4. Check Logs and Traces

      • Review application logs for any errors related to the VE-Processor.
      • Check system logs (SM21), application logs (SLG1), and trace files for clues.
    5. Network and System Checks

      • Ensure there are no network issues preventing communication with the VE-Processor.
      • Check system resources to ensure the VE-Processor can run properly.
    6. SAP Notes and Support

      • Search for SAP Notes related to WGDS_PROCESS165 or VE-Processor issues.
      • If the problem persists, consider raising a support ticket with SAP.
