SAP S/4HANA Error 5332: Paragraph Annotation Creation Failed
Description
Error 5332, ERR_TEXT_LA_ANN_PARAGRAPH, indicates a failure during the process of creating or saving a paragraph-level annotation within an SAP S/4HANA text editor or document. This typically occurs when a user attempts to add a comment, highlight, or other textual markup to a specific paragraph in a document, such as a sales order note, a purchase requisition text, or a master data description.
Error Message
ERR_TEXT_LA_ANN_PARAGRAPH: Error occurred when creating a paragraph annotation.
Known Causes
4 known causesInsufficient User Permissions
The current user lacks the necessary authorization roles or profiles to create or modify annotations on the specific document or text element.
System Configuration Mismatch
There might be an incorrect or incomplete configuration in the SAP S/4HANA system related to text management, annotation services, or document types.
Document Data Corruption
The document or text object being annotated may have underlying data inconsistencies or corruption preventing new annotations from being added.
Concurrent Access Lock
Another user or background process might have locked the document or text object, preventing simultaneous modification or annotation creation.
Solutions
3 solutions available1. Verify Annotation Service Configuration easy
Ensures the underlying annotation service is correctly configured and reachable.
1
Access the SAP Fiori Launchpad and navigate to the 'SAP Gateway Client' application (transaction /IWFND/GW_CLIENT or equivalent in Fiori).
2
Execute a GET request to the annotation service endpoint. The exact service name might vary depending on your S/4HANA version and installed components. A common pattern is `/sap/opu/odata/IWBEP/REGISTRY_SRV/Annotations('YOUR_ANNOTATION_ID')` or a similar service related to metadata and annotations.
GET /sap/opu/odata/IWBEP/REGISTRY_SRV/Annotations('YOUR_ANNOTATION_ID') HTTP/1.1
Host: your_s4hana_host:port
Accept: application/json3
Analyze the response. A successful response should return HTTP status code 200 OK and metadata related to annotations. If you receive an error (e.g., 404 Not Found, 500 Internal Server Error), it indicates a problem with the service itself or its configuration.
4
If the service is not found or returns an error, verify the activation and configuration of the relevant OData services related to annotations in transaction `SICF` and `SAINT`/`SPAM` for component installations. Also, check the RFC destinations and system aliases in transaction `SM59` and `AL11` for any related configurations.
2. Check Underlying Database Permissions and Storage medium
Confirms that the SAP HANA database has sufficient permissions and storage for annotation data.
1
Log in to your SAP HANA database using a tool like SAP HANA Studio or `hdbsql`.
2
Identify the schema or tables where paragraph annotations are stored. This might involve consulting SAP documentation for your specific S/4HANA version or using tools to inspect the database schema of annotation-related services.
3
Execute a SQL query to check the available space and potential storage limits for the relevant tables or schema. Ensure there is sufficient free space.
SELECT * FROM SYS.M_TABLES WHERE SCHEMA_NAME = 'YOUR_ANNOTATION_SCHEMA' AND TABLE_NAME = 'YOUR_ANNOTATION_TABLE';4
Verify that the database user or role used by the SAP S/4HANA application has the necessary `INSERT`, `UPDATE`, and `DELETE` privileges on the annotation tables. This can be checked using SQL commands or database administration tools.
GRANT INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE ON YOUR_ANNOTATION_SCHEMA.YOUR_ANNOTATION_TABLE TO "SAP_USER";5
If storage is an issue, work with your database administrators to allocate more disk space to the SAP HANA database or to clean up old/unnecessary data.
3. Review SAP Notes and Support Packages medium
Addresses potential bugs or known issues resolved by SAP Notes or updated support packages.
1
Access the SAP Support Portal (launchpad.support.sap.com).
2
Search for SAP Notes related to 'Error 5332', 'Paragraph Annotation', 'Annotation Creation Failed', and your specific SAP S/4HANA version (e.g., S/4HANA 2022, S/4HANA Cloud).
3
Carefully read the relevant SAP Notes. They may provide direct solutions, workarounds, or identify specific prerequisites that need to be met.
4
Check your system's current support package level. If a relevant SAP Note indicates a fix is available in a higher support package, plan and apply the necessary updates to your SAP S/4HANA system.
5
If no specific SAP Note is found, consider searching for broader issues related to OData service failures or annotation processing in your S/4HANA version.
