  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS553 - Report &1 was terminated (see log) ?

    The SAP error message:

    WS553 Report &1 was terminated (see log)


    Meaning / Cause:

    This error indicates that a background job or report execution was unexpectedly terminated. The placeholder &1 is replaced by the name of the report or program that was running. The termination could be due to various reasons such as:

    • Runtime errors or exceptions in the ABAP program.
    • System resource issues (e.g., memory, database locks).
    • Authorization problems.
    • Dump or short dump generated during execution.
    • Manual job cancellation.
    • External system or interface errors.
    • Transport or system inconsistencies.

    The message advises to check the log for detailed information about the termination cause.


    Where to Check for More Details:

    1. Job Log:

      • Transaction: SM37
      • Find the job that ran the report.
      • Select the job and click on "Job Log" to see detailed messages and errors.
    2. Short Dumps:

      • Transaction: ST22
      • Look for any ABAP runtime errors or dumps related to the report or time of execution.
    3. System Log:

      • Transaction: SM21
      • Check for system-level errors or messages around the time of the job execution.
    4. Application Logs:

      • Transaction: SLG1
      • If the report writes to application logs, check for related entries.

    Common Solutions:

    • Analyze the short dump (ST22): Identify the exact runtime error and fix the underlying ABAP code or data issue.
    • Check authorization: Ensure the user running the job has the necessary authorizations.
    • Review job parameters: Verify that the input parameters to the report are correct and valid.
    • Check system resources: Ensure there are no memory or database locks causing the termination.
    • Debug the report: If possible, run the report in foreground with debugging to identify the problem.
    • Check for transport or system inconsistencies: Sometimes, missing objects or inconsistent transports cause termination.
    • Re-run the job: After fixing the issue, re-execute the job.

    Additional Notes:

    • The message WS553 is a generic termination message; the root cause is always found in the logs or dumps.
    • If the report is a standard SAP program, check OSS notes or SAP support for known issues.
    • For custom reports, coordinate with the ABAP development team for code review and fixes.
