How To Fix XMS_ADM360 - Conflict situation: Unable to execute job

XMS_ADM360 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: XMS_ADM - XMS - Administration

• Message number: 360

• Message text: Conflict situation: Unable to execute job

What causes this issue?

A conflict situation occurred for background jobs that access the
persistence layer of the Integration Engine.
There are multiple background jobs that access the persistence layer of
the Integration Engine. They include the following:
Job to delete XML messages (SAP_BC_XMB_DELETE*)
Job to archive XML messages (ARV_BC_XMB_WRP*)
Job to delete archived XML messages from the persistence layer
(ARV_BC_XMB_DEL*)
Job to copy XML messages that cannot be deleted from the inactive to the
active database tables of the persistence layer, followed by activation
of the inactive tables (RSXMB_TABLE_SWITCH)
A conflict always occurs if the copy job is started at the same time as
one of the other jobs, or if it is already active when an attempt is
made to start one of the other jobs.
Once the job that caused the conflict is finished, the jobs that
recognized the conflict situation have to then be rescheduled.
Jobs for deleting and archiving XML messages are usually scheduled
periodically (see transaction SXMB_ADM, <ZK>Schedule Archiving Jobs</>
or <ZK>Schedule Delete Jobs</>) so you do not necessarily need to
reschedule jobs manually. You only need to reschedule if an increased
message throughput makes periodic archiving or deletion indispensable.
<ZH>The copy job must be repeated manually if it was terminated as a
result of a conflict.</>

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

System Response

How to fix this error?

Repeat the current job if no further jobs are active that access the
