In SM21 error log getting error “spool is full” continuously.

Symptom / Incident / Problem:

In SM21 error log getting error “spool is full” continuously.

Observation:

1. User complains that the pint has stopped or very slow.

2. The system cannot create any more requests and the short dump SPOOL_INTERNAL_ERROR occurs.

Cause / Prerequisites:

In the standard SAP system, the number of spool requests that can be created is limited to 32000. If you reach this limit, there are no more free numbers and the errors described above occur.

Solution:

1. Log on to the system in client 000 and call transaction SNRO.
2. In the "To No." column, change the upper limit of the interval SPO_NUM to 999,999.
3. There could be a performance problem if there is a huge no of requests in the system so it’s better to delete the oblate, old and completed requests by the report RSPO0041 or RSPO1041.
4. After deleting the spool requests always check the TemSe objects in SP12 and delete any inconsistencies.
