• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DB6PM887 - You exceed the maximum threshold of 10,000 entries ?

  The SAP error message DB6PM887 indicates that a specific operation has exceeded the maximum threshold of 10,000 entries. This error typically occurs in the context of database operations, such as when trying to retrieve or process a large number of records in a single query or transaction.
  Cause:
  
  Exceeding Limits: The error is triggered when the number of entries being processed exceeds the predefined limit set by the system, which in this case is 10,000 entries.
  Inefficient Queries: Queries that are not optimized may inadvertently attempt to fetch or manipulate too many records at once.
  Configuration Settings: The system may have configuration settings that limit the number of entries returned or processed in a single operation.
  
  Solution:
  
  Batch Processing: Instead of processing all entries at once, break down the operation into smaller batches. For example, if you need to process 30,000 entries, you can do it in three batches of 10,000 entries each.
  Pagination: Implement pagination in your queries to limit the number of records fetched in a single call. This can be done using SQL clauses like LIMIT and OFFSET or equivalent methods in your programming language.
  Optimize Queries: Review and optimize your SQL queries to ensure they are efficient and only retrieve the necessary data. Use appropriate filters and conditions to reduce the number of records processed.
  Configuration Adjustment: If applicable, check with your SAP Basis or database administrator to see if the threshold can be adjusted in the system settings. However, this should be done with caution and understanding of the implications.
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in your application to gracefully manage situations where the limit is exceeded, providing informative messages to users.
