The SAP error message
/ISDFPS/SYNC205 ALE inbound processing started independent of OK/ready indicator
typically occurs in the context of Application Link Enabling (ALE) and is related to the synchronization of data between systems. This error indicates that the inbound processing for an ALE message has started, but it is not in a state that is considered "ready" or "OK" for processing.Cause:
- System Configuration Issues: The system may not be properly configured to handle the inbound messages, leading to a mismatch in the expected state.
- Message Status: The message being processed may not have the correct status or may be in a state that does not allow for processing.
- Locking Issues: There may be locks on the relevant data that prevent the system from processing the inbound message correctly.
- Error in Previous Processing: If there was an error in a previous step of the processing chain, it could lead to this state.
- Network Issues: Problems with the network or communication between systems can also lead to this error.
Solution:
- Check Configuration: Review the ALE configuration settings in both the sending and receiving systems to ensure they are correctly set up.
- Monitor Message Status: Use transaction codes like
WE02

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
