• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_DMC_HC096 - Job &1 (ID: &2): Job cancelled; maximum runtime exceeded ?

  The SAP error message CNV_DMC_HC096 indicates that a job has been cancelled because it has exceeded its maximum allowed runtime. This is typically encountered in the context of data migration or conversion processes, particularly when using the SAP Data Migration Cockpit (DMC) or similar tools.
  Cause:
  
  Long Processing Time: The job may be processing a large volume of data or performing complex transformations that require more time than the predefined maximum runtime.
  System Performance: The performance of the SAP system or the underlying database may be suboptimal, leading to longer processing times.
  Configuration Settings: The maximum runtime for jobs may be set too low in the job scheduling configuration.
  Resource Contention: Other jobs running concurrently may be consuming system resources, causing delays in the job's execution.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Increase Maximum Runtime:
  
  Adjust the job's maximum runtime settings. This can typically be done in the job scheduling configuration (transaction SM37 for monitoring jobs).
  You can set a higher value for the maximum runtime to allow the job to complete.
  
  
  
  Optimize Job Performance:
  
  Review the job's logic and data processing steps to identify any inefficiencies.
  Consider breaking down large jobs into smaller, more manageable tasks if possible.
  
  
  
  Monitor System Performance:
  
  Check system performance metrics to identify any bottlenecks (CPU, memory, I/O).
  Ensure that the system has adequate resources available for the job to run efficiently.
  
  
  
  Schedule During Off-Peak Hours:
  
  If possible, schedule the job to run during off-peak hours when system load is lower.
  
  
  
  Review Job Logs:
  
  Check the job logs for any specific errors or warnings that may indicate why the job is taking longer than expected.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Look for relevant SAP Notes that may address known issues or provide guidance on optimizing data migration jobs.
