Spool error for background job

Former Member — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 13:33:10 GMT

Hi All,

I have scheduled one job in sap for a report.I have made a distribution list via tcode SO01.

I have given this distribution list to the SPOOL RECEPIENT section in SM 36.

The job is running successfully but is giving the following error and not sending emails to the distribution list.

The error is :-

"Spool list of step 1 could not be sent due to error 7".

Does anybody has any idea about this error?

Please help its a production issue.

Thanks in advance

Hi Vivekanand Meghmala ,

Check the user that you are executing the Job has proper authorization???

Is this tested in Development or QA ??

Thanks,

Greetson

Look at SAP note : 760838

Symptom

Background job spool lists are not sent.

Other terms

RSBTCRTE, RSPO_SPOOLJOB_TO_OFFICE, SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1

Reason and Prerequisites

1. The jobs in question have recipient references in table TBTCO but these have no equivalent in the Business Object Repository.

2. An error occurs when sending in the spool or in the Sapconnect layer.

Solution

This note does not provide a direct solution to the problem but it does provide a source code enhancement that you can use to create more trace information about the cause of the error. When you copy and execute a job with spool list recipients, trace messages are output when errors occur.

After implementing the correction instructions, use transaction SE91 to create the following message:

Message class: BT

Number: 347

Text: Spool list of step &1 could not be sent due to error &2.

In detail, the error numbers mean:

1 = Spool request does not exist (or no longer exists)

2 = Spool request does not contain any data

3 = Empty page area selected

4 = No authorization to send the request

5 = Access to the spool request is not possible

6 = Read error in the Temse layer

7 = Spool request could not be sent (sending problem)

8 = Incorrect request type

9 = Other

hi,

sorry srinivas,but i could not figure out any solution from your reply.

I know that error 7 is for sending error.

message type and class are displyed when we see job log,but it does not give any hint of what exactly is the problem and how to solve it.

kind regards

Hello,

We had the same problem in a job protocol :

Could not send spool list for step 1 due to error 7

BT347

Finally the issue is located in transaction sbwp

Menu Shared Folder, then click on the concerned folder

Verify the content of the distribution list.

In our case the Distribution list had been modified recently and had introduced an error.
