No spool is being generated after background job run

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

The background job I am running ends in an error. The job log states 'Error encountered while updating settlement rules - see spool for details'. But there is no spool being generated.

I would like to ask for your help as to why.

Hi Tariq,

Thank you for your reply.

According to the screenshot below, the error is telling me to refer to the spool for the details on what went wrong.

But upon checking, there is no spool created.

Hi John Lacaden,

Have you contact with your BASIS guy, It can be happen if your spool is overflow. If not you may go through t.code ST22 for ABAP run time error.

Hi Tariq,

Spool is being generated for our other background jobs. Only this one's having any problems so I don't think it is because our spool is overflowing.

There are no run time errors in ST22.

Hi John,

It's a custom report, so may be it generates a spool once job finishes which is not the case here.

It must have thrown an ABAP dump, go to ST22 and analyze it. It looks like a data error which ABAP/respective functional consultant can help.

Hi Harish,

Yes, it is a custom report but when we test this scenario in our DEV environment we are still getting a spool.

We tried checking ST22 and there are no ABAP dumps generated.

Hi John,

It clearly looks like some data error "Error while updating settlement rules".

Ask your ABAP team to run it in debug mode to identify the cause.

Hi,

If BGD job failed you should check when date and time start and given check list should ensure before schedule the job.

once job goes to cancelled go to select the job and the choose job log you will find some error detail of job and also select the job choose step option in menu select "program name/object" go to option select variant.

thanks.

Please refer to the screenshot above. As you can see the job log states that I check the spool for details of the error, unfortunately no spool is being generated.
