SAP S/4HANA Error 150: Transaction Snapshot Too Old
Description
This error indicates that a database statement or transaction was cancelled because the data snapshot it was relying on became too old or was invalidated. This typically happens when other transactions have committed changes to the data that the current transaction is attempting to access, rendering its initial view of the data obsolete.
Error Message
Statement cancelled or snapshot timestamp already invalidated
Known Causes
3 known causesLong-Running Transactions
Transactions that take an extended period to complete are more susceptible to having their initial data snapshots invalidated by concurrent operations.
High Concurrency and Data Contention
Frequent updates or heavy access to the same data by multiple transactions can quickly invalidate existing snapshots, leading to this error.
Insufficient Snapshot Retention
The database system's configuration for retaining old data versions (snapshots) might be too aggressive or limited, causing snapshots to be purged prematurely.
