• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FMRE_RECURRING026 - Timed out waiting for posting results... restart transaction to check ?

  The SAP error message FMRE_RECURRING026 ("Timed out waiting for posting results... restart transaction to check") typically occurs in the context of the Funds Management (FM) module when a transaction takes too long to process, leading to a timeout. This can happen for various reasons, including system performance issues, long-running background jobs, or database locks.
  Causes:
  
  Long Processing Time: The transaction may be taking longer than expected due to complex calculations or large volumes of data being processed.
  System Performance Issues: High system load or insufficient resources (CPU, memory) can lead to slow processing times.
  Database Locks: Other transactions may be locking the necessary database tables, causing delays.
  Background Jobs: If there are background jobs running that are consuming significant resources, it can affect the performance of the transaction.
  Network Issues: Slow network connections can also contribute to timeouts.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Restart the Transaction: As the error message suggests, restarting the transaction may resolve the issue if it was a temporary glitch.
  Check System Performance: Monitor system performance metrics (CPU, memory, disk I/O) to identify any bottlenecks. You may need to optimize system resources or schedule heavy jobs during off-peak hours.

  Database Locks: Use transaction SM12 to check for any locks on the database that may be causing delays. If necessary, you can release locks that are no longer needed.
  Increase Timeout Settings: If the transaction consistently takes a long time, consider increasing the timeout settings in the SAP system configuration. This should be done with caution and in consultation with your SAP Basis team.
  Analyze the Transaction: Use transaction ST22 to check for dumps or errors that may provide more insight into what is causing the delay.
