• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message OAF803 - Number of objects for each COMMIT WORK parameter was set: &1 ?

  The SAP error message OAF803 indicates that the number of objects for each COMMIT WORK parameter has been exceeded. This typically occurs in the context of the SAP Web Application Framework (Web Dynpro) or when using the Object Services framework, where a large number of objects are being processed in a single transaction.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when the number of objects being processed in a single COMMIT WORK statement exceeds the system's configured limit. This limit is in place to prevent performance issues and to ensure that the system can handle transactions efficiently. The specific limit can vary based on system configuration and version.
  Solution:
  To resolve the OAF803 error, you can consider the following approaches:
  
  
  Batch Processing: Instead of processing all objects in a single transaction, break the processing into smaller batches. This can be done by committing the work after a certain number of objects have been processed.
  
  
  Adjust Configuration: If you have the necessary permissions and understanding of the system, you can check the configuration settings related to the maximum number of objects allowed per COMMIT WORK. This is typically done in the system profile parameters. However, changing these settings should be approached with caution and ideally should be done in consultation with your SAP Basis team.
  
  
  Review Code Logic: If you are developing or maintaining custom applications, review the code to ensure that it is not unnecessarily accumulating a large number of objects before committing. Optimize the logic to commit more frequently if possible.
  
  
  Error Handling: Implement error handling to catch this specific error and provide feedback to the user or log it for further analysis.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Management: Understanding how transactions work in SAP, especially in the context of Object Services and Web Dynpro, can help in designing applications that avoid this error.
  Performance Considerations: Be aware that while increasing the limit may seem like a quick fix, it can lead to performance degradation. Always consider the implications of such changes.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional insights or updates regarding this error message. SAP Notes often contain patches or recommendations for specific issues.
  
  If the problem persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with SAP support or your internal SAP technical team for further assistance.
