How To Fix FAGL_GBIW005 - The time limit of & seconds was exceeded

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FAGL_GBIW - Messages for Package FAGL_BIW

• Message number: 005

• Message text: The time limit of & seconds was exceeded

What causes this issue?

You have defined a time limit in table BWOM_SETTINGS using the
'BWFIGLENQ' parameter. This time limit has been exceeded.

System Response

Since the system cannot extract any current data in delta mode because
there are too many locks on lock object 'EGFAGLFLEXBWENQ' or the locks
last too long, the current extraction job is terminated.

How to fix this error?

Check whether you might have entered too low a value for the 'BWFIGLENQ'
parameter and start the delta extraction again.
If the problem occurs again, the reason for the lock problems in the ERP
system must be analyzed.

Procedure for System Administrators

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FAGL_GBIW005 - The time limit of & seconds was exceeded ?

  The SAP error message FAGL_GBIW005 indicates that a time limit has been exceeded during the execution of a process, typically related to the General Ledger (GL) or Financial Accounting (FI) module. This error often occurs in the context of data extraction or reporting processes, particularly when dealing with large datasets or complex calculations.
  Cause:
  
  Long Processing Time: The operation being performed (e.g., report generation, data extraction) is taking longer than the predefined time limit set in the system.
  Large Data Volume: The volume of data being processed is too large, leading to longer execution times.
  Inefficient Queries: The queries or calculations being executed may not be optimized, causing delays.
  System Performance Issues: The overall performance of the SAP system may be affected by high load, insufficient resources, or other background processes.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Increase Time Limit: 
  
  You can increase the time limit for the specific operation. This can often be done by adjusting the relevant parameters in the system settings or configuration.
  Check the parameter rdisp/max_wprun_time in the instance profile and increase its value.
  
  
  
  Optimize Queries:
  
  Review and optimize the queries or reports that are causing the delay. This may involve indexing, reducing the amount of data being processed, or simplifying calculations.
  
  
  
  Batch Processing:
  
  If applicable, consider breaking down the data processing into smaller batches to reduce the load on the system.
  
  
  
  Check System Performance:
  
  Monitor the system performance to identify any bottlenecks. This may involve checking CPU usage, memory usage, and disk I/O.
  Ensure that the SAP system has adequate resources allocated to handle the workload.
  
  
  
  Run During Off-Peak Hours:
  
  If possible, schedule the execution of the process during off-peak hours when the system load is lower.
