Hi All,
I have a strange issue coming up while running my jobs with BW system as the target using BW load pack....Sometime it runs smoothly but sometime it gives me the following error.

"Error creating named pipe : (231) All pipe instances are busy."

This error comes after 2 or 3 times the load gets hanged. and i try to reset and start again..

Can anyone suggest how to overcome this...

Thanks
SM

Try to do fewer loads simultaneously. Make sure that pipe files are cleaned up when finished.

Hi Ray,
How do i ensure that pipe files are cleaned up after the laod is completed..? Why this error occurs only when loading into BW system using Load pack?

Thanks,
Sm

You need to establish where (in which folder) the named pipes used to communicate with SAP are created, so that you can check that they are removed once the job completes. Use an Explorer search, perhaps for files modified in the past 24 hours.

Why only for SAP BW load? Because nothing else you're doing involves the use of named pipes.
