• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDDB374 - Parallel process number '&1' ?

  The SAP error message RSDDB374 typically indicates an issue related to parallel processing in the context of data extraction or data loading in SAP BW (Business Warehouse). The message usually states that a specific parallel process number has encountered an error.
  Cause:
  
  Resource Limitations: The error may occur due to insufficient system resources (CPU, memory, etc.) when multiple processes are trying to run in parallel.
  Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies or issues with the data being processed, which can lead to failures in one or more parallel processes.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect settings in the data extraction or loading process can lead to errors during parallel execution.
  Locks or Deadlocks: If multiple processes are trying to access the same data or resources, it can lead to locks or deadlocks, causing one or more processes to fail.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check System Resources: Monitor the system's CPU and memory usage. If resources are low, consider optimizing the workload or increasing system resources.
  Review Logs: Check the detailed logs for the specific parallel process number mentioned in the error message. This can provide insights into what went wrong.
  Data Consistency Checks: Ensure that the data being processed is consistent and does not contain any errors. You may need to run consistency checks or data validation.
  Adjust Parallel Processing Settings: If the issue persists, consider adjusting the settings for parallel processing in the data loading or extraction process. This may involve reducing the number of parallel processes or changing the configuration.
  Check for Locks: Use transaction codes like SM12 to check for locks on the database tables that might be causing the issue. If locks are found, you may need to resolve them.
  Re-run the Process: After addressing the underlying issues, try re-running the data extraction or loading process.
  
  Related Information:
