• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message S_ORA_MON103 - Time frame is too wide in relation to interval size; selections resetted ?

  The SAP error message S_ORA_MON103 indicates that the time frame specified for a query or report is too wide in relation to the interval size that has been set. This typically occurs in the context of monitoring or reporting tools that aggregate data over time, such as SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA.
  Cause:
  
  Time Frame Too Wide: The selected time frame for the data query exceeds the maximum allowable range based on the defined interval size. For example, if the interval size is set to daily, but the time frame spans several years, the system may not be able to process the request efficiently.
  Performance Constraints: The system may have performance constraints that prevent it from processing large data sets in a single query, leading to the reset of selections.
  Configuration Settings: The settings in the data source or the reporting tool may not be configured to handle large time frames effectively.
  
  Solution:
  
  Narrow the Time Frame: Reduce the time frame of your query to fit within the limits of the interval size. For example, if the interval is daily, try to limit your selection to a few weeks or months instead of years.
  Adjust Interval Size: If possible, adjust the interval size in the configuration settings to accommodate a larger time frame. This may require changes in the data source or reporting tool settings.
  Check System Settings: Review the system settings related to data aggregation and reporting. Ensure that they are optimized for the type of queries you are running.
  Use Aggregated Data: If you need to analyze data over a long period, consider using aggregated data instead of raw data to reduce the volume of data being processed.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support resources for specific guidelines on handling time frame and interval settings in your particular SAP environment.
