Error creating a switch status buffer

What happened?

The import of the current switch configuration from the database into an

internal switch status buffer has failed.

What can you do?

Note which actions and input led to the error.

For further help in handling the problem, contact your SAP administrator

.

You can use the ABAP dump analysis transaction ST22 to view and manage

termination messages, in particular for long term reference.

Error analysis

The error when importing the current switch configuration into an

internal switch status buffer can occur if the read enqueue lock, which

is requested from the datatabase for consistent reading, is rejected due

to a parallel change operation on this database.

Furthermore, it could also be an internal problem preventing the request

of the required enqueue lock.

Specifically, the error situation in this case is described under 2 in

the following:

(1) A lock collision occurred when requesting the enqueue lock

"E_ABAP_SWTSTATE".

This enqueue lock is currently helb by user " " with enqueue owner

ID " ".

(2) The enqueue server rejects the enqueue request for the enqueue lock

"E_ABAP_SWTSTATE" with the internal error code 8.

Check any existing enqueue server entries in the developer trace.

please let me know the if there is any better way to apply this problem

Thanks & Regards

Hello guys,

I met also shortdump READ_SWITCHSTATES_FAILED in my ECC 6.0 system. After searching the profiles I found error. When configuring DEFAULT.PFL I made typing error in SID for these parameters :

rdisp/vbname

rdisp/enqname

rdisp/btcname

After correcting this error problem is resolved.

Best regards,

Hi,

I believe this is mostly due to the fact that sappfpar check gives an error.

- Shutdown the SAP system,

- change the profile with the recommendations in the sappfpar check report and re-run sappfpar check again just to make sure

- startup SAP

this error will be gone.

Check the parameters in the instance profile with

sappfpar check=/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/profiles

and see if it complains about the size of the shared pools parmeters

ipc/shm_psize_10 = 150000000

ipc/shm_psize_40 = 120000000

etc.

Ciao,

Aidan.

it could be a central instance problem,check your WPs and instance's status.
