How To Fix HRPAY99IMPEXP007 - Only 36 clusters can be processed simultaneously!

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: HRPAY99IMPEXP - Messages for generic import/export module

• Message number: 007

• Message text: Only 36 clusters can be processed simultaneously!

What causes this issue?

The system has tried to generate more than 36 temporary subroutine
pools. This is currently not possible in ABAP.
This problem is caused because, due to different structure results,
generic reading of payroll results takes place using temporarily
generated ABAP programs. An individual routine must be created for each
cluster, in other words, each country.

How to fix this error?

Restrict the selection so that fewer countries are involved in each
program run.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPAY99IMPEXP007 - Only 36 clusters can be processed simultaneously! ?

  The SAP error message HRPAY99IMPEXP007 indicates that the system has a limitation on the number of clusters that can be processed simultaneously during payroll processing. Specifically, it states that only 36 clusters can be processed at the same time, and if this limit is exceeded, the error will be triggered.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when:
  
  The payroll process is attempting to handle more than 36 clusters at once, which exceeds the system's configured limit.
  There may be a large number of employees or payroll areas being processed simultaneously, leading to the creation of more clusters than the system can handle.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can consider the following approaches:
  
  
  Reduce the Number of Clusters:
  
  If possible, try to limit the number of employees or payroll areas being processed in a single run. This can be done by splitting the payroll run into smaller batches.
  
  
  
  Adjust Configuration:
  
  Consult with your SAP Basis or technical team to see if there are configuration settings that can be adjusted to increase the limit of simultaneously processed clusters. However, this may not always be advisable or possible depending on system performance and design.
  
  
  
  Check for Errors in Payroll Processing:
  
  Review the payroll logs for any errors or warnings that might indicate issues with specific employees or payroll areas. Resolving these issues may help reduce the number of clusters being generated.
  
  
  
  Use Parallel Processing:
  
  If your system supports it, consider using parallel processing options to distribute the workload more effectively across multiple processes.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on handling cluster processing limits.
