• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS844 - Copying from &1 terminated due to error during cancellation ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WS844 Copying from &1 terminated due to error during cancellation
  
  Meaning / Cause
  This error occurs during a copy or transport operation in SAP when the system attempts to cancel or roll back a previous step but encounters an error during the cancellation process itself. Essentially, the system was copying objects (e.g., transport requests, workbench objects, customizing objects) from a source (indicated by &1), but the operation failed. When SAP tried to undo or cancel the partial changes made during the failed copy, it encountered another error, causing the entire process to terminate abnormally.
  Common causes include:
  
  Inconsistencies or locks on objects being copied.
  Transport buffer or transport layer issues.
  Missing or corrupted transport objects.
  Insufficient authorizations or system permissions.
  Database or system errors during rollback.
  Network or system interruptions during the transport/copy process.
  
  
  Where It Occurs
  
  During transport request import or export.
  When copying customizing or workbench objects between clients or systems.
  In the Transport Organizer or Transport Management System (TMS).
  During client copy or system copy operations involving transports.
  
  
  How to Analyze
  
  
  Check the detailed logs:
  
  Use transaction STMS (Transport Management System) to check the import/export logs.
  Look at the detailed error stack in the transport logs (/usr/sap/trans/log or via STMS).
  Check system log (SM21) and developer trace files (ST11).
  
  
  
  Identify the object or transport request causing the issue:
  
  The placeholder &1 in the message will be replaced by the source system or transport request.
  Check if the transport request is consistent and complete.
  
  
  
  Check for locks or inconsistencies:
  
  Use SM12 to check for locked entries.
  Use SE03 (Transport Organizer Tools) to check for transport inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Check authorizations:
  
  Ensure the user performing the operation has sufficient rights.
  
  
  
  Check system resources and database status:
  
  Verify no database errors or system resource issues.
  
  
  
  
  Possible Solutions
  
  Retry the operation: Sometimes transient issues cause the error; a retry may succeed.
  Unlock locked objects: Use SM12 to remove stale locks.
  Correct transport inconsistencies: Use SE03 to repair or delete problematic transport requests.
  Check and fix authorizations: Ensure the user has the necessary roles and permissions.
  Check and repair database inconsistencies: Run database consistency checks if needed.
  Clear transport buffer: Sometimes clearing the transport buffer helps (STMS ? Extras ? Transport Buffer ? Delete Buffer).
  Check for system or network issues: Ensure stable network and system environment.
  Apply SAP Notes: Search SAP Support Portal for notes related to WS844 or transport errors.
