• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FSH_SD_COMMON162 - Parallel processing parameters will be considered only in batch mode ?

  The SAP error message FSH_SD_COMMON162 indicates that the parallel processing parameters you are trying to set will only be considered when the process is running in batch mode. This message typically arises in the context of executing certain transactions or reports that can be run in both dialog (interactive) and batch modes.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the system is configured to use parallel processing parameters (like the number of parallel processes) that are only applicable when the job is executed in batch mode. When running in dialog mode, these parameters are ignored, leading to the error message.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Run in Batch Mode: If you need to utilize the parallel processing parameters, you should execute the transaction or report in batch mode. You can do this by scheduling the job through transaction SM36 (Define Background Job) and then executing it.
  
  
  Adjust Parameters: If you are running the process in dialog mode and do not need parallel processing, you can adjust the parameters to avoid setting them when not applicable.
  
  
  Check Job Configuration: Ensure that the job configuration is set correctly for batch processing. This includes checking the job steps and ensuring that the parallel processing options are enabled.
  
  
  Review Documentation: Consult the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific transaction or report you are using to understand the expected modes of operation and any specific requirements for parallel processing.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SM37 (to monitor jobs) and SM36 (to create jobs).
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might provide additional context or solutions for this error message.
  Performance Considerations: Understand the implications of running processes in batch mode versus dialog mode, especially in terms of system performance and resource utilization.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the error message and successfully execute your processes as intended.
