• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message R11102 - Maximum search time exceeded, hit list incomplete ?

  The SAP error message R11102 "Maximum search time exceeded, hit list incomplete" typically occurs when a search operation in SAP takes longer than the predefined maximum time limit. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when querying large datasets or when the system is under heavy load.
  Causes:
  
  Large Data Volume: The search operation is trying to process a large volume of data, which exceeds the time limit set for the query.
  Inefficient Queries: The query may not be optimized, leading to longer processing times.
  System Performance Issues: The SAP system may be experiencing performance issues due to high load, insufficient resources, or other background processes.
  Configuration Settings: The maximum search time limit may be set too low in the system configuration.
  
  Solutions:

  Limit Data Retrieval: If possible, limit the amount of data being retrieved in the search. This can be done by applying more specific filters or pagination.
