Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ME_CCMS_NAK031 - Runtime > &1 second(s); display might not be complete ?

  The SAP error message ME_CCMS_NAK031 indicates that a runtime threshold has been exceeded during the execution of a transaction or report, specifically that the runtime has exceeded a specified limit (in this case, "&1 second(s)"). This can lead to incomplete display or processing of the data.
  Cause:
  
  
  Long Processing Time: The transaction or report is taking longer than expected to execute, which could be due to various reasons such as:
  
  Large data volume being processed.
  Inefficient queries or reports.
  Database performance issues.
  Locks or contention on database tables.
  Insufficient system resources (CPU, memory, etc.).
  
  
  
  Configuration Settings: The threshold for runtime may be set too low in the system configuration, leading to premature termination of the display.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Optimize the Query/Report:
  
  Review the logic of the report or transaction to identify any inefficiencies.
  Use appropriate selection criteria to limit the data being processed.
  Consider indexing database tables that are frequently accessed.
  
  
  
  Increase Runtime Threshold:
  
  If the long runtime is expected due to the nature of the data being processed, consider increasing the threshold for the runtime limit in the system settings. This can usually be done in the CCMS (Computing Center Management System) configuration.
  
  
  
  Monitor System Performance:
  
  Use transaction codes like ST03N (Workload Analysis) or ST04 (Database Performance Analysis) to monitor system performance and identify bottlenecks.
  Check for locks or long-running transactions using transaction SM12 or SM66.
  
  
  
  Check Background Jobs:
  
  If the report can be run as a background job, consider scheduling it to run in the background to avoid runtime issues in the foreground.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
  
  
  
  System Resources:
  
  Ensure that the system has adequate resources (CPU, memory, etc.) to handle the workload. Consider scaling up resources if necessary.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Transaction Codes: 
  
  ST22 (Dump Analysis) to check for any short dumps that may provide additional context.
  SM37 (Job Monitoring) to check the status of background jobs.
  
  
  
  SAP Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to performance tuning and optimization for specific modules or transactions.
  
  
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums for insights from other users who may have encountered similar issues.
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the ME_CCMS_NAK031 error and improve the performance of the affected transaction or report.
