'Error 8 occurred when starting the data extraction program'

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

I am trying to pull master data (Full upload) for a attribute. I am getting an error on BW side i.e. 'The error occurred in Service API .'

So I checked in Source system and found that the an IDOC processing failure has occurred. The failure shows 'Error 8 occurred when starting the data extraction program'.

But when I check the extractor through RSA3, it looks fine.

Can someone inform what might be the reason of the failure for IDOC processing and how can this be avoided in future. Because the same problem kept occurring later as well.

Thanks

1. Go to RSA1 and then to Source Systems and then right click on your source system and Check....verify that the result is Green...

2. In Sm37 verifiy if theres a Cancelled job for extraction....and check the reason

3. Verifiy in ST22 on both systems and check if thers a dump....

Hello,

Thanks for the update.But the partner profile is already created and theres nothing wrong with the connection.

Because other IDOCS are being processed correctly.

Please help.

Hi,

I think you can solve this problem, leaving the field BTCSYSTEM empty in the table ROIDOCPRMS.

Please see the way to do it in the SAP note 147104.
