  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DMS_MESSAGES046 - QueryHitsMaxValue should not be provided with UnlimitedHitsInd as 'TRUE' ?

    The SAP error message DMS_MESSAGES046 indicates that there is a conflict in the parameters being used in a query related to the Document Management System (DMS). Specifically, the error states that the QueryHitsMaxValue should not be provided with UnlimitedHitsInd set to 'TRUE'.

    Cause:

    This error typically arises when you are trying to execute a query that is configured to return an unlimited number of hits (i.e., UnlimitedHitsInd is set to 'TRUE'), but at the same time, you are specifying a maximum number of hits (QueryHitsMaxValue). This is contradictory because if you want unlimited hits, there should be no limit set on the number of hits returned.

    Solution:

    To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the parameters you are using in your query are consistent. Here are the steps you can take:

    1. Check Query Parameters: Review the parameters you are passing to the query. If you want to retrieve an unlimited number of hits, set UnlimitedHitsInd to 'TRUE' and do not specify a value for QueryHitsMaxValue.

    2. Modify the Query:

      • If you want to limit the number of hits, set UnlimitedHitsInd to 'FALSE' and provide a valid integer value for QueryHitsMaxValue.
      • If you want unlimited hits, set UnlimitedHitsInd to 'TRUE' and do not include QueryHitsMaxValue in your query parameters.
    3. Test the Query: After making the necessary adjustments, test the query again to ensure that it executes without errors.

    Related Information:

    • Documentation: Refer to the SAP DMS documentation for more details on how to configure queries and the expected parameters.
    • SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might provide additional insights or updates regarding this error message.
    • Debugging: If you continue to experience issues, consider enabling debugging or logging to capture more detailed information about the query execution.

    By ensuring that the parameters are correctly set according to your requirements, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully execute your query in SAP DMS.
