• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PF1/PE_PP_BASIS026 - Start of parallel processing ?

  The SAP error message /PF1/PE_PP_BASIS026 typically relates to issues encountered during the start of parallel processing in SAP. This error can occur in various contexts, such as during batch jobs, data processing, or when executing certain transactions that utilize parallel processing capabilities.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Issues: The system may not be properly configured to handle parallel processing. This could include settings related to background processing or parallel processing parameters.
  Resource Limitations: The system may be running low on resources (e.g., memory, CPU) which can prevent the initiation of parallel processes.
  Locking Issues: If the system is trying to access resources that are currently locked by other processes, it may fail to start parallel processing.
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the process may not have the necessary authorizations to start parallel processing.
  System Load: High system load or contention for resources can also lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings for parallel processing in your SAP system. Ensure that the parameters for parallel processing are set correctly.
  Monitor System Resources: Use transaction codes like SM50 or SM66 to monitor the system's workload and check for any resource bottlenecks. If necessary, optimize the system or increase resources.
  Review Locks: Use transaction SM12 to check for any locks that might be preventing the process from starting. If you find unnecessary locks, you may need to release them.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to execute the process. You can check this using transaction SU53 after the error occurs.
  Adjust Parallel Processing Settings: If the system is under heavy load, consider adjusting the number of parallel processes allowed or scheduling jobs during off-peak hours.
  Review Logs: Check the application logs (transaction SLG1) for any additional error messages or warnings that could provide more context about the issue.
