Version: 31
Validity: Valid Since 03.02.2010
Symptom
Newly created spool requests have a deletion date of 2099/12/31 or 2100/01/01 regardless of the retention period specified during creation.
This happens as soon as the deletion date exceeds 2010/01/01, which is usually the case with spool requests created after 2009/12/23.
The same wrong deletion date is shown after a spool request with a correct date was reprinted. This happens in all SAP releases independent of support package or kernel patch level.
These spool requests will not be deleted if the spool reorg job RSPO0041 or RSPO1041 is run with a variant that selects requests only according to their deletion data, not according to their minimum age.
Other symptoms of the underlying error are described in note 1423484.
More Terms
Deletion date, SP01, 2100/01/01, expiry date, spool full, spool overflow, SPOOL_INTERNAL_ERROR, ZREPAIR_SPOOL_DATE
Cause and Prerequisites
Programming error in kernel
Solution
For releases 3.1, 4.0B and 4.5B:
1. Increase the upper value of the spool number range to 99,999 to make a spool overflow less likely. See note 48284 for more details. This is a general recommendation by SAP.
2. Apply the following kernel patch (disp + work):
Release 3.1I: (31I_EXT) 781
Release 4.0B: (40B_EXT) 1072
Release 4.5B: (45B_EXT) 1002
3. Create report RSPO2010 with transaction SE38 in package SPOO. Apply note 1422843 using transaction SNOTE. Run report RSPO2010 once without changing any parameters after restarting the system with the new kernel.The report will modify the delete date of all spool requests created between December 23rd 2009 and the current day. The new delete
date will be calculated from the creation date plus the default retention time (profile parameter rspo/req_lifetime).
For releases 4.6B, 4.6C, 4.6D:
1. Increase the upper value of the spool number range to 99,999 to make a spool overflow less likely. See note 48284 for more details. This is a general recommendation by SAP.
2. Use transaction SP01 to find all spool requests created between December 23rd 2009 and the current day that should not been deleted after 8 days. Archive these requests or change the deletion date to e.g. 31.12.2070.
3. Create report RSPO2010 with transaction SE38 in development class SPOO. Apply note 1422843 using transaction SNOTE. Run report RSPO2010 once without changing any parameters after restarting the system with the new kernel. The report will modify the delete date of all spool requests created between December 23rd 2009 and the current day. The new delete date will be calculated from the creation date plus the default retention time (profile parameter rspo/req_lifetime). Please note that RSPO2010 cannot distinguish between requests that have been created with the deletion date 2100/01/01 deliberately or accidentally (caused by the kernel error).
4. Apply the correct kernel patch for your SAP release from the download area of this note.
5. If you cannot apply the new kernel shortly, run RSPO2010 and RSPO0041/RSPO1041 as a daily job. In that case, you will also have to perform step 3 daily.
For Basis Release 6.20 and higher:
1. Increase the upper value of the spool number range to 999,999 to make a spool overflow less likely. See note 48284 for more details. This is a general recommendation by SAP.
2. Use transaction SP01 to find all spool requests created between December 23rd 2009 and the current day that should not been deleted after 8 days. Archive these requests or change the deletion date to e.g. 31.12.2070.
3. Apply note 1422843 via SNOTE to obtain report RSPO2010. In release 620 and 640, it might be necessary to create the report first via transaction SE38 in package SPOO depending on the SNOTE version. Run this report once without changing any parameters after restarting the system with the new kernel. The report will correct the delete date of all spool requests created between December 23rd 2009 and the current day. The new delete date will be calculated from the creation date plus the default retention time (profile parameter rspo/req_lifetime).
Please note that RSPO2010 cannot distinguish between requests that have been created with deletion date 2100/01/01 deliberately oraccidentally (caused by the kernel error).
4. Apply the correct kernel patch (disp + work) for your SAP release from the download area of note 1425811.
5. If you cannot apply the new kernel shortly, run RSPO2010 and RSPO0041/RSPO1041 as a daily job. In that case, you will also have to perform step 3 daily.
Customers who have intentionally been creating spool request with a retention time of '9' can use RSPO2010 to identify spool requests with indefinite delete day created BEFORE December 23rd 2009. These requests can then be excluded from the automatic change by using the selection options of the report. You can find a more detailed documentation of this report attached to this note.
