SAP S/4HANA Error 213: Outside Global Transaction
Description
This error indicates that an operation attempted to execute outside the scope of an active global (XA) transaction within SAP S/4HANA. It typically occurs when a resource tries to participate in a transaction that doesn't exist or is no longer valid, leading to a failure in distributed processing.
Error Message
ERR_TX_XAER_OUTSIDE
Known Causes
4 known causesMissing Transaction Context
An application or service attempted an operation requiring a global transaction without an active transaction context being properly established or propagated.
Premature Transaction Termination
The global transaction was committed, rolled back, or timed out before all participating resources completed their operations, making subsequent actions 'outside' the transaction.
Misconfigured XA Resources
Incorrect setup of the XA transaction manager, application server, or participating databases/resources prevents them from correctly joining or maintaining the global transaction.
Network Disruption
Temporary network issues or communication failures between the transaction coordinator and participating resources can cause the transaction scope to be lost or incorrectly perceived.
