How To Fix BRAIN517 - Display table break point reached

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: BRAIN -

• Message number: 517

• Message text: Display table break point reached

A piece of coding and the complex data structure SX_REPORT are generated
for a query in a time-consuming process. The SX_REPORT is then stored
in the cluster table RSIX and also redundantly for quicker access in the
shared buffer.
During this generation, the query definition and all of the metadata
information (DTA class) are processed. A range of flags and control
tables are created that accelerate the processing considerably during
runtime.
The following list gives an overview of the individual components:
RKB1D: Along with the KEY of the query and the attributes
from RSRREPDIR, this bar contains the execution mode, that is those
flags that control the way in which the query is executed.
RKB1F: All flags of the query are collected here. The
most important flags are shown in the <ZK>Technical Information</>
screen.
BUGR: Detailed information about the elimination of
internal business volume.
<DS:TX.BRAIN-CELL>CELL</>: Structure elements or <DS:TX.BRAIN-KID>KID
</>s.
<DS:TX.BRAIN-CHAFREE>CHAFREE</>: Free characteristics of the query.
COA: Attributes or their basic characteristics on which
the cache depends.
<DS:TX.BRAIN-CSX>CSX</>: Details of the selection of constants.
CTTNM: Collects the currency translation types.
<DS:TX.BRAIN-CUDIM>CUDIM</>: Controls currency translation.
CUDIM_LRECH: Required for the unit abbreviations in the
formula 'Before Aggregation'.
CUDIM_SUMM: Analog ( see also <DS:TX.BRAIN-LRECH>SUMM und LRECH
</>)
IC_VAL: Validity slice characteristics for non-cumulative
cubes.
KFB: Describes which FEMS and which basic key figures go
into a <DS:TX.BRAIN-KID>KID</> (authorization check).
LFMM: Additional information for an S container for
non-cumulatives.
<DS:TX.BRAIN-LRECH>LRECH</>: Formulas after aggregation.
PARTPROV: All parts of the MultiProvider with their own
flags.
<DS:TX.BRAIN-RTIME>RTIME</>: Times for non-cumulatives.
<DS:TX.BRAIN-SEL>SEL</>: All selections.
<DS:TX.BRAIN-SFC>SFC</>: All characteristics, navigation attributes and
units.
SFK: Collects all basic key figures.
SH: Collects all hierarchies in the query.
<DS:TX.BRAIN-SN>SN</>: Collects the hierarchy nodes.
<DS:TX.BRAIN-LRECH>SUMM</>: Formulas after aggregation.
<DS:TX.BRAIN-VAR>VAR</>: All variables.
VAR_LRECH: Numerical variables with replacement paths.
VCHECK: Controls the validation of variables, that is,
the dependencies among variables.
<DS:TX.BRAIN-VREP>VREP</>: Controls the replacement of variables.
<DS:TX.BRAIN-VREP>VREP_CMP</>: Compounding information for the
replacement of variables.
<DS:TX.BRAIN-WGR>WGR</>: Description of S container

  System Settings: There may be system settings or parameters that limit the number of records displayed in a report or query.
  
  Solution:
  
  Limit Data Volume: Try to limit the amount of data being retrieved by applying filters or reducing the time frame of the data being queried.
  Optimize Queries: Review and optimize the query design. This may involve:
  
  Reducing the number of key figures or characteristics being displayed.
  Using aggregation or summarization to reduce the number of records.
  
  
  Adjust System Settings: If you have the necessary permissions, you can adjust the settings in the SAP BW system to allow for larger datasets to be displayed. This may involve changing parameters in the query properties or system settings.
  Use Paging: If the report or query supports it, implement paging to display data in smaller chunks rather than all at once.
  Check for Updates: Ensure that your SAP system is up to date with the latest patches and updates, as this may resolve known issues related to performance and data display.
