We've already implemented note 1645737 which seems to be perfectly fitting to this problem. Unfortunately no SAP note or the like helped by now.

Also we're not sure if it's an administrative or user error.

Do you know any situation like this? It would be great if you'd have some advice in solving this problem.

Many many thanks in advance for your help.

Best wishes

Hi to all,

we still get that annoying dump every now and then. Still no way to reproduce it - if the user repeats his action, it works fine. It doens't occur very often anymore but this problem is still not solved.

We thought about opening a SAP call but as mentioned this is not reproducible in any way.

Doesn't anybody face the same problem?

Thanks again

Hi Marie,

Do you have any developments under BAdI: Reset Valuations for Screen_Dep Characteristics?

Dear Ornella,

unfortunately I cannot really tell if there's BAdi development in the system - I'm just the admin - the customer himself doesn't delevope anyway - only some consultants but as far as I know not with  BAdis.

So I would guess that there's no BAdi development.

Information on where terminated
    Termination occurred in the ABAP program "SAPLCEI0" - in
     "CE_I_GET_CONFIGURATION".
    The main program was "SAPMV45A ".

I feel, the highlighted Function Module is causing the issue.  Please have a look at the following note which may help you:-

• Note 211614 - Short dump in CE_I_GET_CONFIGURATION

Hi and thanks for the reply,

as mentioned before our release is much higher (ECC 6.0 without any EhP) - note 211614 concerns release 4.5B to 4.6C - there is no correction to be implemented for us in this note.

Thanks again.

Best wishes

Check whether OSS Note 938559 - Runtime error INSTANCE_NOT_FOUND in CE_I_GET_CONFIGURATION is of any help to your scenario. Also check Note 1048399 - Program termination MESSAGE_TYPE_X in CE_I_GET_CONFIGURATION .
