• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSRD185 - Starting parallel processing of package &1 (&2 settings)... ?

  The SAP error message RSRD185, which states "Starting parallel processing of package &1 (&2 settings)...", typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when there are issues related to the execution of queries or data processing in parallel.
  Cause:
  
  Resource Limitations: The system may not have enough resources (CPU, memory) to handle the parallel processing of the requested package.
  Configuration Issues: There may be incorrect settings in the BW or BI configuration that affect how parallel processing is handled.
  Data Volume: The volume of data being processed may be too large, leading to performance issues.
  Locks or Deadlocks: Other processes may be locking the resources needed for parallel processing, causing delays or failures.
  Query Design: Inefficient query design can lead to performance bottlenecks when trying to execute in parallel.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check System Resources: Monitor the system's CPU and memory usage. If resources are low, consider optimizing the system or increasing the hardware capacity.
  Review Configuration Settings: 
  
  Check the settings for parallel processing in the BW/BI configuration. Ensure that the settings are optimized for your environment.
  Look into the settings for the number of parallel processes allowed and adjust them if necessary.
  
  
  Optimize Queries: 
  
  Review the design of the queries being executed. Optimize them to reduce complexity and improve performance.
  Use aggregates or pre-calculated data where possible to reduce the load during query execution.
  
  
  Check for Locks: Use transaction codes like SM12 to check for locks in the system. If there are unnecessary locks, they should be released.
  Data Volume Management: If the data volume is too high, consider breaking down the data into smaller packages or using filters to limit the amount of data processed at one time.
  Monitor Background Jobs: Check the status of background jobs that may be running concurrently and consuming resources. Adjust their scheduling if necessary.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like ST22 (Dump Analysis), SM37 (Job Monitoring), and ST03N (Workload Analysis) to analyze performance issues and job statuses.
  SAP Notes: Check for relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to RSRD185 or parallel processing in BW/BI.
  Performance Tuning: Consider engaging in performance tuning practices for your BW/BI environment, which may include indexing, partitioning, and optimizing data models.
  
  If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with SAP support or a technical consultant who specializes in SAP BW/BI for further assistance.
