  The SAP error message MDG_DQR_GENERAL022 indicates that a query in the Master Data Governance (MDG) system has returned more hits than the maximum allowed for display. Specifically, the message states that the maximum number of hits for display is restricted to a certain number (denoted as &1), but the query has found more hits (denoted as &2).
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when:
  
  A search or query is executed that returns a large number of results, exceeding the predefined limit set in the system.
  The system is configured to limit the number of results displayed to prevent performance issues or overwhelming the user with too much data.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can consider the following approaches:
  
  
  Refine the Search Criteria:
  
  Modify the search parameters to be more specific, which should reduce the number of hits returned. This can involve adding filters or using more specific search terms.
  
  
  
  Increase the Maximum Hits Limit:
  
  If appropriate, you can increase the maximum number of hits allowed for display in the system settings. This typically requires access to the configuration settings in the MDG system.
  You can check the relevant configuration settings in the MDG customizing transaction (e.g., SPRO) under the relevant MDG area.
  
  
  
  Pagination:
  
  Implement pagination in the query results if it is not already in place. This allows users to navigate through results in smaller chunks rather than trying to display all results at once.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling this error in your version of SAP MDG.
