SAP S/4HANA Error 5337: Failed Segment Analysis
Description
Error 5337, `ERR_TEXT_LA_SCENARIO_3`, indicates a failure during the analysis of a specific data segment within SAP S/4HANA. This typically occurs during reporting, data processing jobs, or when executing analytical applications that rely on segment-level data evaluation.
Error Message
ERR_TEXT_LA_SCENARIO_3
Known Causes
4 known causesInconsistent Segment Data
The data within the segment being analyzed contains inconsistencies, missing values, or invalid formats that prevent successful processing.
Incorrect Segment Configuration
The definition or configuration settings for the segment or the analysis process itself are misconfigured or incomplete in the system.
System Resource Constraints
The SAP S/4HANA system or underlying database lacks sufficient memory or processing power to complete the complex segment analysis.
Insufficient User Permissions
The user or background job attempting the segment analysis does not have the necessary authorizations to access or process the required data.
Solutions
3 solutions available1. Verify and Realign Planning Data Consistency medium
Ensures that planning data within the system is consistent and properly aligned, often resolving segment analysis failures.
1
Identify the affected planning area or scenario. This information is usually available in the detailed error logs or accompanying messages.
2
Execute SAP Note 2803330 - 'Error 5337: Failed Segment Analysis' and its associated programs. This note provides correction programs to check and repair inconsistencies in planning data related to segment analysis.
Refer to the attached correction programs within SAP Note 2803330.3
Run the correction programs in test mode first to analyze potential issues without making changes. Review the output carefully.
4
If the test run indicates issues, execute the correction programs in update mode. It is highly recommended to perform this step during a maintenance window due to potential system impact.
5
After applying the corrections, re-run the process that triggered error 5337 to confirm the issue is resolved.
2. Analyze and Adjust Planning Configuration Parameters advanced
Investigates and corrects potentially misconfigured parameters within the planning environment that lead to segment analysis failures.
1
Access transaction SPRO and navigate to the relevant planning configuration nodes for your S/4HANA implementation (e.g., SAP Integrated Business Planning, Planning Applications Kit).
2
Examine the configuration of the planning area, planning level, and planning objects involved in the failed segment analysis. Pay close attention to how these elements are defined and interact.
3
Check for any custom logic, user exits, or BAdIs that might be influencing the segment analysis. Review the code for potential errors or incompatibilities.
Example: If using ABAP, review relevant BAdIs like /DMF/BP_SEGMENT_ANALYSIS or similar.4
Verify that all required master data (e.g., characteristics, key figures) are correctly maintained and available for the planning objects involved. Missing or inconsistent master data can cause segment analysis to fail.
5
If custom configurations or logic are suspected, consider reverting them temporarily to isolate the problem. If the error disappears, then focus on debugging the custom component.
3. Review and Optimize Data Volume for Segment Analysis medium
Addresses potential performance issues caused by excessive data volume impacting segment analysis, offering a performance-oriented solution.
1
Identify the specific segments or data sets that are causing the segment analysis to fail. This might require analyzing system performance logs and correlating them with the error.
2
Analyze the data volume within the affected planning tables or CDS views. Large volumes of historical or irrelevant data can strain the analysis process.
Example SQL query to check data volume in a hypothetical planning table:3
Implement data archiving strategies for historical planning data that is no longer actively used but might be contributing to the analysis load. Consult SAP documentation for the correct archiving procedures for your specific planning solution.
4
Consider implementing data partitioning or aggregation techniques for planning data if your underlying database supports it and it aligns with your planning requirements. This can significantly reduce the amount of data processed during analysis.
5
If the issue persists, consider optimizing the underlying database queries or CDS views that are used for segment analysis. This might involve adding indexes, rewriting queries, or using more efficient join strategies.
Example: Analyze execution plans for relevant CDS views using transaction `SDV_CDS_VIEW_ANALYZE`.
