No target host for background processing is currently active
Message no. BT504
Diagnosis
You can specify a target computer when you schedule a job. This specification determines which computer the corresponding job will be executed on. The name entered is checked according to various criteria.
There are several different causes for this message:
- The check was attempted, but failed. No SAP system that supports background processing could be found in the current configuration.
- The system attempted to create an overview of all computers that currently support background processing (e.g. have work processes of the appropriate type). However, no such SAP system could be found.
System Response
This error message is output. In interactive mode, the name of the target computer must be left blank. Please note that this field can remain unspecified. If so, the load situation at execution time of the job will determine the computer where the job is performed.
Procedure
Check the current configuration of the active SAP systems. It is possible that no background processing has been activated.
If this configuration is intended – that is, if background processing should not be supported right now – then the function that triggered this message cannot be performed right now (e.g. the display of possible input values cannot be called).
Please also note that the name of the destination computer is not a required entry. If it is not specified, the load situation at the execution time of the job will determine the computer where the job runs.
