• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KE_HDB013 - Incorrect report parameters; select fewer parallel processes ?

  The SAP error message KE_HDB013 indicates that there are incorrect report parameters, specifically related to the number of parallel processes being requested for a report in the Controlling (CO) module. This error typically arises when the system is unable to handle the number of parallel processes specified in the report parameters, which can lead to performance issues or resource constraints.
  Cause:
  
  Excessive Parallel Processes: The user has specified a number of parallel processes that exceeds the system's capacity or configuration limits.
  System Resource Limitations: The SAP system may have limitations on the number of parallel processes it can handle based on its configuration or the current load on the system.
  Configuration Settings: The settings in the SAP system for parallel processing may not be optimized or may have been set too low.
  
  Solution:
  
  Reduce Parallel Processes: Modify the report parameters to specify a lower number of parallel processes. This can often resolve the issue immediately.
  Check System Configuration: Review the system settings related to parallel processing. This may involve checking the configuration in transaction codes like RZ10 (for profile parameters) or RZ11 (for dynamic parameters).
  Monitor System Load: Use transaction codes like SM37 (to check job status) or SM66 (to monitor active processes) to see if the system is currently under heavy load, which might necessitate reducing the number of parallel processes.
  Consult Basis Team: If the issue persists, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis team to ensure that the system is configured correctly for the expected workload and to check for any performance bottlenecks.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as KE30 (for CO reports) and SE38 (for executing ABAP programs) to run reports and check their parameters.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. SAP Notes can provide additional context or solutions that are specific to your version of SAP.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to the Controlling module and parallel processing to understand best practices and limitations.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the KE_HDB013 error and successfully run your reports with the appropriate parameters.
