  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_CHAR_VAL039 - Data saved - background job for characteristic typing started ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP message WRF_CHAR_VAL039:


    SAP Message: WRF_CHAR_VAL039

    Text: Data saved - background job for characteristic typing started


    Cause

    This message appears when you save data related to classification characteristics in SAP, and the system triggers a background job to perform characteristic typing. Characteristic typing is a process where the system analyzes and assigns types or classifications to characteristics based on the data entered.

    • The message is informational, indicating that the data you entered has been saved successfully.
    • Additionally, the system has started a background job to process the characteristic typing asynchronously.
    • This is typically done to avoid performance issues during data entry by offloading the typing process to a background task.

    Explanation

    • Characteristic Typing: In SAP classification, characteristics can be typed or categorized based on their values or usage. Typing helps in better data management, searching, and reporting.
    • When you change or add characteristic values, the system may need to re-evaluate the typing.
    • Instead of doing this immediately (which could slow down the user interface), SAP schedules a background job.
    • The message informs you that your data is saved and the typing job has been started in the background.

    Solution / Action

    • No immediate action is required from the user when this message appears.
    • The background job will run automatically and complete the typing process.
    • You can monitor the background job if needed:
      • Use transaction SM37 (Job Monitoring) to check the status of the background job related to characteristic typing.
    • If the background job fails or does not run:
      • Check job logs in SM37 for errors.
      • Verify system background job configuration.
      • Consult your SAP Basis or technical team if necessary.
