Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WXP142 - &1 entries have been marked for deletion ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message WXP142:
  
  SAP Message: WXP142 - &1 entries have been marked for deletion
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  
  This message indicates that a certain number of entries (records) in a table or dataset have been flagged or marked for deletion.
  In SAP, marking entries for deletion is a common step before actual physical deletion occurs. It is a logical deletion where the entries are flagged but not yet removed from the database.
  The message is informational and typically appears during data cleanup, archiving, or when running certain transactions or reports that process data marked for deletion.
  The placeholder &1 is replaced by the number of entries marked for deletion.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When you run a program or transaction that processes or cleans up data, and some entries are found to be marked for deletion.
  For example, in workflow, batch jobs, or data archiving processes.
  It can also appear during table maintenance or when deleting master data or transactional data that is logically deleted first.
  
  
  Solution / Action:
  
  Check the entries marked for deletion: Review the data to confirm that these entries are indeed obsolete or no longer needed.
  Physical deletion: If the entries are no longer required, proceed with the physical deletion process. This might be done via a specific program or transaction designed to delete flagged entries.
  Data consistency: Ensure that deleting these entries will not affect data consistency or business processes.
  Archiving: If applicable, archive the data before deletion to keep historical records.
  Ignore if informational: Sometimes, this message is just informational and no further action is needed if the system or process handles the deletion automatically.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Logical vs Physical Deletion: SAP often uses a two-step deletion process. First, entries are marked for deletion (logical deletion), then a background job or program physically deletes them.
  Transaction Codes: Depending on the module, transactions like SARA (Archive Administration), or specific cleanup programs might be used.
  Custom Programs: If this message appears in a custom program, check the code where entries are marked for deletion and ensure the deletion process completes.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for your specific module or component if you encounter issues related to deletion or this message.
  
  
  Example:
  If you run a cleanup report for workflow logs and see:
  WXP142  15 entries have been marked for deletion
  It means 15 workflow log entries are flagged for deletion. You can then run the physical deletion program to remove them permanently.
