• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CM_SUB_INFOSYS102 - Data volume for output too large ?

  The SAP error message CM_SUB_INFOSYS102 indicates that the data volume for output is too large. This typically occurs when a process attempts to generate or output a dataset that exceeds the system's configured limits for data volume or memory.
  Causes:
  
  Large Data Set: The most common cause is that the data set being processed is too large for the system to handle in one go.
  Configuration Limits: The system may have specific configuration settings that limit the size of data that can be processed or output at once.
  Memory Constraints: Insufficient memory allocation for the process can lead to this error, especially in environments with limited resources.
  Inefficient Queries: Poorly optimized queries or reports that pull excessive data can also trigger this error.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Reduce Data Volume:
  
  Filter Data: Modify the selection criteria to limit the amount of data being processed. For example, if you are generating a report, consider adding date ranges or other filters.
  Pagination: If applicable, implement pagination to break the data into smaller chunks that can be processed sequentially.
  
  
  
  Increase System Resources:
  
  Memory Allocation: If you have control over the system configuration, consider increasing the memory allocation for the relevant processes.
  Hardware Upgrade: In some cases, upgrading the hardware (e.g., adding more RAM) may be necessary to handle larger data volumes.
  
  
  
  Optimize Queries:
  
  Review and optimize any queries or reports that are generating large data sets. Ensure that they are efficient and only pulling necessary data.
  
  
  
  Batch Processing:
  
  If applicable, consider processing the data in batches rather than all at once. This can help manage memory usage and prevent the error from occurring.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration Settings:
  
  Review the system configuration settings related to data processing limits. Adjust these settings if necessary, but be cautious as this may have implications for system performance.
