3612926 - Multiple Mass Data Runs jobs are being duplicated or triplicated

Symptom

MDRs runs duplicated or triplicated or even more.

Environment

  • SAP Cloud for Customer
  • SAP Business ByDesign
  • SAP Cloud Application Studio

Reproducing the Issue

View Background Jobs - open executed runs and check for duplication of these

  1. C4C: Administrator -> Background Jobs -> Schedued Jobs.
  2. BYD: Application & USer Management -> Background Jobs -> Schedued Jobs.

Cause

This may be the result of large sequention chains - that is runs are scheduled to run after the completion of another run.

A scheduled job may be duplicated or triplicated or be seen to grow exponentially if part of a sequential chain of runs. If one specific run is duplicated either manually or by some fauly in the system, this will trigger duplication of runs in the chain. This can grow exploonetially overtime which can result in a drain on system resources or even MDR execution node locking.

With large compleciated sequential chains, it will prove very difficult to pin point the origins of a duplication or get to root of the cause.

Resolution

Reduce the size of sequential chains. While there may not be a specific limit on the number of runs in a sequential chain, the larger the number of jobs in a sequential chain the more likelihood of MDR run duplication.

Reduce the size of run sequential chains to prevent potential issues.
