• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ARBFND_FRW708 - 104 Too Many Records ?

  The SAP error message ARBFND_FRW708 "104 Too Many Records" typically occurs in the context of SAP BusinessObjects or SAP Analytics Cloud when a query or report is attempting to retrieve or process more records than the system is configured to handle. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when running reports, executing queries, or processing data in a dashboard.
  Cause:
  
  Exceeding Record Limits: The error indicates that the number of records being processed exceeds the predefined limit set in the system configuration.
  Inefficient Queries: Queries that are not optimized may return a large number of records, leading to this error.
  Data Volume: Large datasets being pulled into reports or dashboards can trigger this error if they exceed the system's capacity.
  Configuration Settings: The system may have specific settings that limit the number of records returned for performance reasons.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Limit the Data Returned:
  
  Modify the query or report to include filters that reduce the number of records being processed. For example, you can add date ranges, specific criteria, or other filters to narrow down the dataset.
  
  
  
  Optimize Queries:
  
  Review and optimize the SQL queries or report logic to ensure they are efficient and only retrieve necessary data.
  Use aggregate functions or summary tables where possible to reduce the volume of data.
  
  
  
  Adjust Configuration Settings:
  
  If you have administrative access, check the configuration settings for record limits in the SAP system. You may be able to increase the limit, but this should be done with caution as it can impact performance.
  Consult with your SAP Basis or system administrator to understand the implications of changing these settings.
  
  
  
  Use Paging or Chunking:
  
  If applicable, implement paging or chunking in your reports to process data in smaller batches rather than all at once.
  
  
  
  Check for System Performance:
  
  Ensure that the system is performing optimally and that there are no underlying issues affecting its ability to handle large datasets.
