SAP S/4HANA Error 5537: Invalid Text Preprocessor Output
Description
This error indicates that a text preprocessor component within SAP S/4HANA failed to produce a valid output document. It typically occurs during processes involving text extraction, transformation, or indexing, where the preprocessor's output does not conform to the expected format or structure.
Error Message
ERR_TEXT_PREPROCESSOR_INVALID_OUTPUT_DOCUMENT
Known Causes
4 known causesCorrupted Input Data
The source text data fed into the preprocessor might be corrupted or malformed, preventing it from generating a valid output document.
Misconfigured Preprocessor
The text preprocessor settings or parameters are incorrectly configured, leading to an output that doesn't meet system expectations.
System Resource Exhaustion
Insufficient system memory, disk space, or processing power can prevent the preprocessor from completing its task and generating a valid document.
Software Anomaly or Bug
An underlying software bug in the preprocessor component or an incompatibility with other system modules might cause the invalid output.
Solutions
3 solutions available1. Rebuild Text Preprocessor Cache easy
Clears and regenerates the text preprocessor cache to resolve inconsistencies.
1
Log in to your SAP S/4HANA system with an administrator role.
2
Execute transaction code SA38.
3
In the 'Program' field, enter RS_TEXTPREP_CLEANUP. Click 'Execute'.
RS_TEXTPREP_CLEANUP4
On the selection screen, ensure 'Delete all cache entries' is selected. Click 'Execute'.
5
After the program completes, try to perform the operation that previously resulted in error 5537.
2. Verify Text Preprocessor Configuration and Data Integrity medium
Checks for any misconfigurations or data corruption within the text preprocessor.
1
Identify the specific document or object that is causing the error. This might require checking application logs (e.g., ST22, SM21) or debugging the transaction.
2
Access transaction SE38 and execute program RS_TEXTPREP_ANALYZE.
RS_TEXTPREP_ANALYZE3
Analyze the output of RS_TEXTPREP_ANALYZE for any reported inconsistencies or errors related to the problematic document or object. Pay close attention to any 'Invalid' or 'Corrupted' flags.
4
If specific data inconsistencies are found, you may need to manually correct them. This could involve:
- Re-saving the document/object in the relevant application.
- Using specific SAP Notes or support tools provided for data correction (consult SAP Support Portal).
- In rare cases, direct database manipulation might be considered as a last resort, but this requires extreme caution and expert knowledge.
- Re-saving the document/object in the relevant application.
- Using specific SAP Notes or support tools provided for data correction (consult SAP Support Portal).
- In rare cases, direct database manipulation might be considered as a last resort, but this requires extreme caution and expert knowledge.
5
After making any necessary corrections, re-run RS_TEXTPREP_CLEANUP (as per Solution 1) and then attempt the original operation.
3. Apply Relevant SAP Notes medium
Ensures the system has the latest bug fixes for the text preprocessor.
1
Access the SAP Support Portal (support.sap.com).
2
Search for SAP Notes related to 'Error 5537', 'ERR_TEXT_PREPROCESSOR_INVALID_OUTPUT_DOCUMENT', or 'text preprocessor' in the context of your SAP S/4HANA version.
3
Review the identified SAP Notes to understand the problem they address and the prerequisites.
4
Use transaction SNOTE to download and implement the relevant SAP Notes in your SAP S/4HANA system. Ensure you follow the implementation instructions carefully.
SNOTE5
After implementing the notes, perform the 'Rebuild Text Preprocessor Cache' step (Solution 1) and test the functionality.
