• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSODP020 - Parallel Processes Split Under Job Name &1 ?

  The SAP error message RSODP020, which states "Parallel Processes Split Under Job Name &1," typically occurs in the context of data processing jobs in SAP, particularly when using the SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP Data Services. This error indicates that there is an issue with the parallel processing of data loads or transformations.
  Cause:
  
  Job Configuration: The error may arise due to incorrect configuration of the job that is supposed to run in parallel. This could be related to the number of parallel processes set in the job definition.
  Resource Limitations: The system may not have enough resources (CPU, memory, etc.) to handle the number of parallel processes requested.
  Locking Issues: If multiple processes are trying to access the same data or resources simultaneously, it can lead to conflicts and result in this error.
  Data Volume: A very high volume of data being processed in parallel can lead to performance issues and errors.
  System Settings: The system parameters for parallel processing may not be optimally set, leading to issues when trying to execute multiple processes.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Job Configuration: Check the configuration of the job that is generating the error. Ensure that the settings for parallel processing are appropriate for the data volume and system capabilities.
  Adjust Parallel Processing Settings: If the number of parallel processes is too high, consider reducing it. This can be done in the job definition or in the relevant data load settings.
  Monitor System Resources: Use transaction codes like ST02 (buffer management), ST06 (OS monitor), or SM50 (process overview) to monitor system performance and resource usage. If resources are constrained, consider optimizing the job or increasing system resources.
  Check for Locks: Use transaction SM12 to check for any locks that might be causing conflicts. If there are locks, investigate the processes holding them and resolve any issues.
  Batch Size: If applicable, consider reducing the batch size of the data being processed to lessen the load on the system.
  System Parameters: Review and adjust system parameters related to parallel processing. This may involve consulting with your SAP Basis team to ensure optimal settings.
