BDLS cancelled in the midaway - urgent help needed

[Former Member]

Hello All,

After refresh from production into test system, we ran BDLS in the test system for logical system name coneversion in background.

But the job got aborted throwing some database error (as some other activity was going on and due to which rollback segments were not sufficient)

Now when we try to execute the BDLS again, it is giving error telling that a conversion is already going on!!!( even after 3 days from the cancellation of BDLS job)

The error is :

Another Process is Running for Conversion LOG500 -> TRICLNT500

Message no. B1668

Diagnosis

While a conversion is running, you cannot start any further processes for the test run. Depending on the size of the dataset in the system, this process can last a long time.

Procedure

Check whether all the conversion processes in the corresponding system are complete (online or background processing), or whether they have terminated due to a program error. If a process has terminated abnormally, first solve the error and delete the conversion log, then restart the process

Please let me know in case of any pointers? Can we rerun the BDLS? What needs to be done for that?? Any notes??

Best Regards,

Arun

Did you try executing program RBDLSMAP_RESET? This will reset the BDLS log/entry tables. then executing BDLS again would do the checks from beginning.

Hi

Please check in SM37 if the status is changed to cancelled

If the process was aborted 3 days back then there should not be any running processes in SM66 , and sm37 should show status CANCELLED.

If not then in SM37 , select job , and do an Job --> check status.

Also check for any locks and updates in sm12,SM13 related to this job

Then Retsart it in the same client

Hope this helps

Hi Ravinder,

We had alrady confirmed that the job is in cancelled state.

Also there are no running processed in sm66/50.

No lock entries/update records related to this .

But still it is giving the error that "Another Process is Running for Conversion LOG500 -> TRICLNT500"

Kindly advise.

Hi Arun

Please check if table BDLSHDR ,BDLSPOS,BDLSLOG contain old entries

Check BDLSHDR for last time the BDLS run was terminated

Try after removing the entry from this table and retry

Look at note 962674. There are log files in tables bdlshdr, bdlspos and bdlslog. The logfiles can be deleted with program RBDLSMAP_RESET, than you can restart BDLS.

Kind regards, Erik
