SAP Agent-specific exit codes

What is it?

When a SAP job fails, the SAP Agent reports an exit code that identifies the stage at which the failure occurred. Use this page to map an exit code in the 70000 range to the operation the agent was attempting (logon, job copy, status check, output retrieval, and so on).

note

Codes outside this list are Windows system error codes returned by the agent's host. Refer to Windows System Errors in the Concepts online help.

FAQs

My job failed with an exit code that isn't in this list. What does it mean? Codes outside this list are Windows system error codes. Refer to Windows System Errors in the Concepts online help.

What should I check first if I see exit code 70004? 70004 indicates a logon failure. Verify the User and Password configured in SAPLSAM.ini, the SAP Gateway/SystemNumber/ClientID, and that the OpCon SAP login still has the required authorization roles. See Prerequisites.

What does exit code 70017 indicate? The agent could not start the job immediately because no SAP background work processes were available. This is typically a SAP-side capacity condition, not a misconfiguration.
