• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /CWM/MM112 - The dataset (&1 bytes) is too big (abap/alvgrid/size_nodod_mb) ?

  The SAP error message /CWM/MM112 The dataset (&1 bytes) is too big (abap/alvgrid/size_nodod_mb) typically occurs when you are trying to display or process a dataset that exceeds the maximum allowable size for an ALV (ABAP List Viewer) grid in SAP. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when generating reports or exporting data.
  Cause:
  
  Dataset Size: The dataset you are trying to process exceeds the maximum size limit defined in the system settings for ALV grids.
  Configuration Limits: The system may have specific configuration settings that limit the size of datasets that can be processed or displayed.
  Memory Constraints: The server may not have enough memory allocated to handle large datasets.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Reduce Dataset Size:
  
  Try to filter the data to reduce the number of records being processed. This can be done by applying selection criteria or pagination.
  If applicable, consider breaking the dataset into smaller chunks and processing them separately.
  
  
  
  Adjust ALV Grid Settings:
  
  Check the configuration settings for ALV grids in your SAP system. You may need to adjust the parameters related to dataset size limits.
  You can look for parameters like abap/alvgrid/size_nodod_mb in transaction RZ10 or RZ11 to see if they can be increased.
  
  
  
  Increase Memory Allocation:
  
  If the issue is related to memory constraints, consider increasing the memory allocation for the SAP application server. This may involve working with your Basis team to adjust the instance profile parameters.
  
  
  
  Use Alternative Output Methods:
  
  If the dataset is too large for ALV, consider using other output methods such as exporting to a file (CSV, Excel) or using a different reporting tool that can handle larger datasets.
  
  
  
  Check for Updates:
  
  Ensure that your SAP system is up to date with the latest patches and updates, as there may be improvements or fixes related to handling large datasets.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may want to use transaction codes like SE38 (ABAP Editor) to check the report code or SE80 (Object Navigator) to analyze the program logic.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or recommendations related to this error message. You can search for relevant notes in the SAP Support Portal.
  Performance Considerations: When working with large datasets, always consider performance implications and optimize your queries and data retrieval methods.
  
  If the problem persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or technical team for further assistance.
