• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CM_EHSDS_INTEGRATION017 - &1 SDS generation failed: File size exceeded the limit. ?

  The SAP error message CM_EHSDS_INTEGRATION017 indicates that the generation of a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) has failed because the file size exceeded the allowed limit. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) module when attempting to create or generate SDS documents.
  Cause:
  
  File Size Limit: The most common cause of this error is that the generated SDS file exceeds the maximum file size limit set in the SAP system. This limit can be configured in the system settings.
  Complexity of Data: If the SDS contains a large amount of data, such as extensive chemical information, multiple languages, or detailed safety instructions, it may lead to a larger file size.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the SAP EHS module that are not optimized for the data being processed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check File Size Limit: Review the configuration settings in the SAP system to determine the maximum allowed file size for SDS generation. This can typically be found in the EHS configuration settings.
  Optimize Data: If possible, reduce the amount of data included in the SDS. This could involve:
  
  Simplifying the content.
  Removing unnecessary sections or details.
  Limiting the number of languages included in the document.
  
  
  Adjust Configuration: If the file size limit is too restrictive for your needs, consider increasing the limit in the system settings. This may require assistance from your SAP Basis or EHS administrator.
  Check for Errors in Data: Ensure that there are no errors or inconsistencies in the data being used to generate the SDS, as these can sometimes lead to unexpected increases in file size.
  Consult SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes or updates that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
