• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 42089 - A new session is created for the results list ?

  The SAP error message "42089 A new session is created for the results list" typically occurs when a user tries to display a results list that is too large to be handled in the current session. This can happen in various SAP transactions where a large number of records are being processed or displayed.
  Cause:
  
  Large Data Set: The primary cause of this error is that the results list generated by the transaction contains too many entries, exceeding the limits of the current session.
  Session Management: SAP has a limit on the number of records that can be displayed in a single session. When this limit is exceeded, SAP automatically creates a new session to handle the results list.
  System Configuration: The system settings or user parameters may also influence how results are displayed and the limits imposed on sessions.
  
  Solution:
  
  Limit the Data Set: Try to refine your selection criteria to limit the number of records returned. Use filters or selection parameters to narrow down the results.
  Use Pagination: If the transaction supports it, use pagination features to view results in smaller chunks rather than all at once.
  Check User Settings: Review your user settings in SAP to see if there are any parameters that can be adjusted to handle larger data sets more effectively.
  Session Management: If you frequently encounter this issue, consider discussing with your SAP Basis team about adjusting session management settings or increasing the limits for your user profile.
  Review Transaction Code: Some transaction codes may have specific settings or limitations. Check the documentation or consult with your SAP administrator for any known issues or configurations.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific patches or updates related to this error message. SAP frequently releases updates that may address performance or session management issues.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with the transaction codes you are using and their known limitations regarding data handling.
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on how to effectively use selection criteria and filters to avoid overwhelming the system with large data sets.
  
  If the problem persists after trying these solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or refer to SAP's official documentation for further assistance.
