• 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:
  
  
  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.
  
  
  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.
  
  
  
  Test the Query: After making the necessary adjustments, test the query again to ensure that it executes without errors.
