• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CMS_COMMON109 - Report will be run in the background ?

  The SAP error message CMS_COMMON109 indicates that a report is being executed in the background rather than in the foreground. This typically occurs when the system determines that the report is too resource-intensive or when certain conditions are met that require the report to be processed in the background.
  Cause:
  
  Resource Intensity: The report may require significant processing power or time, prompting the system to run it in the background to avoid impacting the performance of the user interface.
  User Settings: The user may have settings configured to run certain reports in the background by default.
  System Configuration: The system may be configured to automatically run long-running reports in the background.
  Job Scheduling: If the report is scheduled to run at a specific time or as part of a batch job, it will execute in the background.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Report Parameters: Review the parameters you are using to run the report. If there are options to limit the data set or optimize the report, consider adjusting them.
  Run in Foreground: If you want to run the report in the foreground, check if there is an option to do so. Some reports have a specific setting that allows them to be run interactively.
  Review User Settings: Check your user profile settings to see if there are preferences that dictate how reports are executed.
  Monitor Background Jobs: If the report is running in the background, you can monitor its progress using transaction codes like SM37 (Job Monitoring) to see the status of the job.
  Consult with Basis Team: If you believe the report should run in the foreground and it is not, consult with your SAP Basis team to review system settings or performance issues that may be causing this behavior.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SM37 (to check background jobs) and SE38 (to execute reports).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to the specific report you are trying to run.
  Performance Tuning: If reports frequently run in the background, consider discussing performance tuning options with your technical team to improve the execution time of reports.
