• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_DMC_MD_EXTRACTOR011 - File size too large; see long text ?

  The SAP error message CNV_DMC_MD_EXTRACTOR011 indicates that the file size being processed is too large for the system to handle. This error typically occurs during data migration processes, particularly when using the SAP Data Migration Cockpit (DMC) or similar tools.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  File Size Limitations: The file being processed exceeds the maximum size limit set by the system or the specific migration tool.
  System Configuration: The system may not be configured to handle large files, either due to memory limitations or settings in the migration tool.
  Data Volume: The volume of data being extracted or migrated is too large, leading to performance issues or exceeding thresholds.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check File Size: Verify the size of the file you are trying to process. If it exceeds the recommended limits, consider splitting the file into smaller chunks.
  
  
  Adjust Configuration: 
  
  Review the configuration settings of the SAP Data Migration Cockpit or the relevant migration tool. Look for parameters related to file size limits and adjust them if possible.
  Ensure that the system has adequate resources (memory, disk space) to handle larger files.
  
  
  
  Optimize Data Extraction: 
  
  If applicable, filter the data to reduce the volume being processed at one time. This can involve selecting a smaller subset of data or applying additional criteria to limit the extraction.
  Consider using incremental data loads instead of full loads, if feasible.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for the specific migration tool you are using. There may be guidelines or best practices for handling large files.
