Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IUUC_TAB217 - Read maximum number of rows (&1) from &2 in '&3' ?

  The SAP error message IUUC_TAB217 typically indicates that there is an issue with the data extraction process in the SAP Landscape Transformation (SLT) replication setup. This error occurs when the maximum number of rows that can be read from a table during a data extraction process has been exceeded.
  Cause:
  
  Row Limit Exceeded: The error message indicates that the number of rows being read from the source table exceeds the configured limit. This limit is set to prevent excessive memory usage and to ensure that the data extraction process remains efficient.
  Configuration Settings: The maximum number of rows that can be read in a single extraction can be configured in the SLT settings. If the source table has a large number of records, it may exceed this limit.
  Performance Issues: If the system is under heavy load or if there are performance issues, it may also lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Increase the Maximum Row Limit:
  
  You can increase the maximum number of rows that can be read in a single extraction. This can typically be done in the SLT configuration settings.
  Navigate to the SLT configuration transaction (e.g., LTRC) and look for the settings related to the maximum number of rows for data extraction.
  Adjust the parameter to a higher value based on your requirements and system capabilities.
  
  
  
  Batch Processing:
  
  If increasing the limit is not feasible or if it does not resolve the issue, consider implementing batch processing. This involves breaking down the data extraction into smaller chunks to avoid hitting the row limit.
  
  
  
  Monitor System Performance:
  
  Ensure that the system is performing optimally. Check for any performance bottlenecks that may be affecting the data extraction process.
  Monitor the SLT replication process and check for any other errors or warnings that may provide additional context.
  
  
  
  Check for Locks:
  
  Ensure that there are no locks on the source table that could be causing delays or issues in reading the data.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes or updates related to this error message. There may be specific patches or recommendations provided by SAP.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as LTRC (SLT Configuration), LTRS (SLT Replication Server), and LTRC (SLT Monitoring).
  Documentation: Review the official SAP documentation for SLT to understand the configuration settings and best practices for data replication.
  Performance Tuning: Consider performance tuning techniques for both the source and target systems to improve data extraction efficiency.
  
  If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to engage with SAP support for further assistance.
