• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSRD183 - Starting serial processing of package &1 (&2 settings)... ?

  The SAP error message RSRD183, which states "Starting serial processing of package &1 (&2 settings)...", typically occurs in the context of SAP Business Warehouse (BW) or SAP BusinessObjects when there is an issue with the processing of data packages in a report or query. This message is not necessarily an error but rather an informational message indicating that the system is starting to process a data package in a serial manner.
  Cause:
  
  Data Volume: The data volume being processed is large, and the system is configured to handle it in a serial manner rather than in parallel.
  System Configuration: The settings in the BW or BusinessObjects environment may be configured to limit parallel processing due to resource constraints.
  Locks or Contention: There may be locks on the data or contention for resources that prevent parallel processing.
  Query Design: The design of the query or report may inherently require serial processing due to dependencies between data sets.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check System Configuration: Review the settings in the BW or BusinessObjects environment to see if parallel processing can be enabled or optimized. This may involve adjusting settings related to data processing or memory allocation.
  Optimize Queries: Analyze the queries or reports to identify if they can be optimized for better performance. This may include reducing the complexity of the query, filtering data more effectively, or breaking down large queries into smaller, more manageable ones.
  Monitor System Resources: Use transaction codes like ST03N or ST04 to monitor system performance and resource usage. If the system is under heavy load, consider scheduling heavy reports during off-peak hours.
  Check for Locks: Use transaction codes like SM12 to check for any locks on the data that may be causing delays in processing. Resolve any locks that are not necessary.
  Increase Parallel Processing Capacity: If the system allows, consider increasing the number of parallel processes that can be run simultaneously. This may involve adjusting parameters in the BW or BusinessObjects settings.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as ST22 (Dump Analysis), SM37 (Job Monitoring), and RSRT (Query Monitor) to diagnose issues further.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to RSRD183 or performance tuning in BW/BusinessObjects.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation for best practices on query performance and data processing in BW.
