• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSRD190 - Processing serially in separate batch jobs ?

  The SAP error message RSRD190, which states "Processing serially in separate batch jobs," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when there are issues related to the execution of queries or data processing tasks. This message indicates that the system is unable to process certain tasks in parallel and is instead queuing them to be processed one after the other in separate batch jobs.
  Causes:
  
  Resource Constraints: The system may be experiencing resource limitations, such as CPU, memory, or I/O bottlenecks, which prevent parallel processing.
  Locks: There may be locks on certain objects or data that prevent concurrent access, forcing the system to process jobs serially.
  Configuration Settings: The settings in the BW system may be configured to limit parallel processing for certain types of queries or data loads.
  Query Design: The design of the query itself may not support parallel execution due to dependencies or the way data is being accessed.
  Batch Job Configuration: The configuration of batch jobs may be set to run in a serial manner rather than in parallel.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check System Resources: Monitor the system's performance and resource usage. If there are bottlenecks, consider optimizing the hardware or adjusting system parameters.
  Review Locks: Use transaction codes like SM12 to check for locks on objects that may be causing the serial processing. Resolve any unnecessary locks.
  Adjust Configuration: Review the configuration settings for parallel processing in the BW system. This may involve adjusting settings in the BW Administrator Workbench or transaction RSCUSTV10.
  Optimize Queries: Analyze the queries that are causing the issue. Consider optimizing them for better performance and to allow for parallel execution.
  Batch Job Settings: Review the settings for batch jobs in transaction SM37. Ensure that jobs are configured to allow for parallel execution where appropriate.
  Increase Parallel Processing Limits: If applicable, increase the limits for parallel processing in the BW system settings.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SM37 (for monitoring jobs), SM12 (for checking locks), and RSCUSTV10 (for customizing BW settings).
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to RSRD190 or provide patches and updates.
  Performance Monitoring: Utilize tools like ST03N (Workload Analysis) to monitor system performance and identify areas for improvement.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation and best practices for BW query design and batch job management to ensure optimal configuration.
  
  By addressing the underlying causes and implementing the suggested solutions, you should be able to resolve the RSRD190 error and improve the performance of your SAP BW system.
