• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 00102 - Batch input: Processing mode 'Process visibly' activated ?

  The SAP error message "00102 Batch input: Processing mode 'Process visibly' activated" typically occurs when you are trying to run a batch input session in a mode that requires user interaction, which is not suitable for automated processing. This message indicates that the batch input session is set to "Process visibly," meaning it will display screens and require user input, which is not ideal for background processing.
  Cause:
  
  Processing Mode: The batch input session is configured to run in "Process visibly" mode, which is intended for testing or manual execution.
  Session Configuration: The session may have been created or configured incorrectly, leading to the activation of the visible processing mode.
  User Settings: The user settings or the transaction settings may default to visible processing.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Change Processing Mode:
  
  If you are using transaction SM35 to process the batch input session, ensure that you select the option for "Process in background" instead of "Process visibly."
  You can also change the processing mode in the batch input session creation step by selecting the appropriate options.
  
  
  
  Check Session Settings:
  
  Review the settings of the batch input session to ensure that it is configured for background processing. This can often be done in the session creation screen or in the session management options.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Code:
  
  If you are using a specific transaction code to create the batch input session, check if there are any parameters or options that need to be adjusted to ensure it runs in the background.
  
  
  
  Review User Profile:
  
  Check the user profile settings to see if there are any defaults set for batch input processing modes. Adjust these settings if necessary.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
