• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message >REP085 - Report cannot be evaluated in parallel ?

  The SAP error message REP085: Report cannot be evaluated in parallel typically occurs when a report or transaction is being executed in a way that does not allow for parallel processing. This can happen for several reasons, including:
  Causes:
  
  Report Design: The report may be designed in such a way that it cannot be executed in parallel due to dependencies in the data processing logic.
  Database Locks: If the report is trying to access data that is locked by another process, it may not be able to run in parallel.
  Resource Constraints: The system may have limitations on how many parallel processes can be executed at once, especially if the report is resource-intensive.
  Configuration Settings: Certain settings in the SAP system may restrict parallel processing for specific reports or transactions.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Run in Serial Mode: If the report cannot be executed in parallel, try running it in serial mode. This can often be done by adjusting the execution settings in the report or transaction.
  Check for Locks: Investigate if there are any locks on the database tables that the report is trying to access. You can use transaction codes like SM12 to check for locks and SM21 for system logs.
  Review Report Logic: If you have access to the report's code, review it to see if there are any dependencies or logic that prevent parallel execution. Modifying the report to allow for parallel processing may be an option.
  Adjust System Settings: Consult with your SAP Basis team to see if there are any system settings that can be adjusted to allow for parallel processing of the report.
  Batch Processing: If the report is resource-intensive, consider scheduling it as a background job instead of running it interactively. This can help manage system resources better.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SE38 (for executing reports), SM37 (for monitoring background jobs), and ST22 (for analyzing dumps).
  SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
  Documentation: Review the documentation for the specific report you are trying to run, as it may contain information about its execution requirements and limitations.
  
  If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or reach out to SAP support for further assistance.
