• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FSH_MSG_CL_VAS078 - Parallel processing not possible in dialog mode ?

  The SAP error message FSH_MSG_CL_VAS078 indicates that parallel processing is not possible in dialog mode. This error typically arises when you are trying to execute a process that is designed to run in parallel, but the system is currently in a dialog mode that does not support such execution.
  Cause:
  
  Dialog Mode: The process you are trying to execute is designed to run in the background or in parallel, but it is being triggered in a dialog session.
  System Configuration: The system may be configured to restrict certain processes to dialog mode only, which can lead to this error when attempting to run parallel processing.
  Transaction Settings: Some transactions or reports may have settings that prevent them from being executed in parallel when initiated from a dialog session.
  
  Solution:
  
  Run in Background: If the process can be executed in the background, try scheduling it as a background job instead of running it in dialog mode. You can do this using transaction SM36 to create a background job.
  Check Transaction Settings: Review the specific transaction or report you are trying to run. Check if there are any settings or parameters that allow for parallel processing and ensure they are correctly configured.
  Use a Different User Session: If you are running multiple sessions, ensure that you are not inadvertently running the process in a dialog session that restricts parallel processing.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific transaction or process you are trying to execute for any additional configuration or requirements.
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists and you cannot find a resolution, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance, especially if this is a critical process.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional context.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SM37 (to monitor background jobs) and SM21 (to check system logs) for troubleshooting.
  System Performance: If parallel processing is essential for performance, consider discussing with your SAP Basis team about system configuration and performance tuning.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully execute the desired process.
