• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CY179 - When the DB table & was read, the max. no. of & records was reached ?

  The SAP error message CY179 indicates that when attempting to read a database table, the maximum number of records that can be retrieved has been exceeded. This typically occurs in scenarios where a query or operation is trying to fetch more records than the system is configured to handle at one time.
  Cause:
  
  Record Limit Exceeded: The system has a predefined limit on the number of records that can be fetched in a single operation. This limit is often set to prevent performance issues or excessive memory usage.
  Inefficient Query: The query being executed may not be optimized, leading to an attempt to retrieve a large number of records unnecessarily.
  Configuration Settings: The maximum number of records that can be read may be set too low for the specific use case.
  
  Solution:
  
  Adjust the Record Limit: If you have the necessary permissions, you can increase the maximum number of records that can be fetched. This can usually be done in the system settings or configuration.
  Optimize the Query: Review the query or operation that is causing the error. Try to filter the results more effectively to reduce the number of records being retrieved. This can involve adding more specific selection criteria or using pagination to retrieve records in smaller batches.
  Use Batches: If the operation allows, consider processing records in smaller batches rather than trying to retrieve all records at once.
  Check for Locks or Performance Issues: Sometimes, performance issues or locks on the database can lead to unexpected behavior. Ensure that the database is performing optimally and that there are no locks that could be causing delays.
