Error in pricing when doing sourcing in EBP 4.0

[Former Member]

Hello,

We're experiencing random errors when doing sourcing in EBP 4.0. The shopping carts don't seem to have any similarities that could launch the error. There has been few cases when the same error has occured when user is creating a shopping cart.

The problem occures when doing sourcing and the shopping cart is either being held or a PO is created. The error creates dump in ST22, "UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION". This is somehow related to pricing and we have checked note 673372 and ran report BBP_CND_CUSTOMIZING_CHECK, all OK. IPC is running the same SP level as SRM, SP level 10.

We have already created an OSS about this, but as this is completely random we haven't been able to reproduce the error and no solution has been found.

Here's some data from ST22:

Transaction......... "BBPSOCO01 "

Program............. "SAPLBBP_PDH"

Screen.............. "SAPLBBP_SOCO_UI_ITS 2000"

The termination occurred in the ABAP program "SAPLBBP_PDH" in "BBP_PD_ABORT"

The main program was "SAPLBBP_SOCO_UI_ITS ".

The termination occurred in line 69 of the source code of the (Include)

program "LBBP_PDHU08"

of the source code of program "LBBP_PDHU08" (when calling the editor 690).

000600 * get the messages from the application log

000610 TRY.

000620 CALL FUNCTION 'BBP_PD_LOG_GET_MESSAGES'

000630 TABLES

000640 E_MESSAGES = LT_MESSAGES.

000650 CATCH CX_BBP_PD_ABORT.

Hi,Please see the note number Note 593109 - Short dumps UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION in SRM 2.0 (EBP 3.5).This may be helpful in this case.

Try executing report W3_PUBLISH_SERVICES once in se38 transaction and see if it solves your issues.

Hello,

Thank you for your suggestions! The problem is still existing.

We have republished services and restarted all relating servers. And correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the VMC component introduced with kernel 7.0? We're running kernel 6.40 at the moment.

It might be useful to update to latest SP level as note 1024374 suggests, even though the symptoms aren't exactly like ours. We're currently using SP level 10 in IPC (and in SRM) with patch level 34. Although the problem is annoying, we aren't going to upgrade to higher level yet.

Suresh: Do the problems have any pattern? Do you use sourcing items with price 0;-?

Regards,

Jussi

Hi Jussi,

Our Problem was due to the activation of one of the BADI. We activated a BADI called "BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI". and there was no code in that.

The issue was resolved when we de-activated it.

I think your issue is something different. It might be that some of your Basis Guys have applied some patches to the system. Pls check with them.

Thanks,

Suresh

Hello Suresh,

Ok, thank you for the information. We'll take a look at the BADI just to be sure.

Hi

Please refer to following SAP Notes:

Note 860935 - pricing customizing exits are missing

Note 673372 - Short dumps UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION in SRM 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0

Also try to implement the latest IPC patches following the instructions from note 880749, then restart the VMC. It worked for us, after trying many things with no luck.

Alternatively, try this as well. There must be some problem with VMC. Most probably java connection problem. Please execute program RSVMCRT_HEALTH_CHECK in SE38 transaction. You should see green for all 4 messages in the result. Please contact your basis consultant and refer notes 854170 (and 844817)
