• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /GSINS/ID_BR079 - This report can be run only in Batch mode ?

  The SAP error message /GSINS/ID_BR079: This report can be run only in Batch mode indicates that the specific report you are trying to execute is designed to run only in batch processing mode, rather than in interactive mode. This is a common restriction for certain reports that may require extensive processing time or resources, which are better handled in a background job.
  Cause:
  
  Report Design: The report is specifically designed to be executed in batch mode due to its complexity or the volume of data it processes.
  System Performance: Running such reports in interactive mode could lead to performance issues, affecting the user experience and system stability.
  Data Volume: The report may be intended to handle large datasets that are impractical to process in real-time.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to run the report in batch mode. Here are the steps to do so:
  
  
  Use Transaction Code: 
  
  Go to the SAP GUI and enter the transaction code for the report you are trying to run.
  Instead of executing it directly, look for an option to schedule it as a background job.
  
  
  
  Schedule a Background Job:
  
  Use transaction code SM37 to monitor jobs or SM36 to create a new background job.
  In SM36, enter the job name, specify the report you want to run, and set the necessary parameters.
  Schedule the job to run immediately or at a specified time.
  
  
  
  Check Job Status:
  
  After scheduling, you can check the status of the job in SM37. This will allow you to see if it completed successfully or if there were any issues.
  
  
  
  Review Output:
  
  Once the job is completed, you can review the output in SP01 or directly from the job log in SM37.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Check the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific report for any additional parameters or settings that may be required when running in batch mode.
  Performance Considerations: Running reports in batch mode can help improve system performance, especially during peak hours when many users are logged in.
  User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to create and manage background jobs in your SAP system.
