• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/CDPSOPT205 - Runtime chosen is possibly too short ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/CDPSOPT205 indicates that the runtime chosen for a specific optimization process in SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) is possibly too short. This error typically arises during the execution of a planning run, such as a heuristic or optimization run, where the system determines that the allocated time for the process is insufficient to complete the required calculations.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Runtime: The most common cause is that the runtime parameter set for the optimization process is too short for the complexity of the data being processed. This can happen if the planning area has a large amount of data or if the optimization logic is complex.
  System Performance: If the system is under heavy load or if there are performance issues, the optimization process may take longer than expected.
  Configuration Settings: The settings in the planning run configuration may not be optimized for the current data volume or complexity.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Increase Runtime: The most straightforward solution is to increase the runtime parameter for the optimization process. This can be done in the planning run settings:
  
  Go to the transaction code /SAPAPO/CDPSOPT or the relevant planning run transaction.
  Look for the runtime settings and increase the time allocated for the optimization process.
  
  
  
  Optimize Data: Review the data being processed to see if there are any unnecessary elements that can be excluded from the optimization run. Reducing the data volume can help the process complete within the allocated time.
  
  
  Check System Performance: Monitor the system performance during the planning run. If the system is under heavy load, consider scheduling the planning run during off-peak hours or optimizing system resources.
  
  
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings for the planning run. Ensure that they are appropriate for the current data volume and complexity. You may need to adjust parameters related to the optimization logic.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific optimization process you are using. There may be additional recommendations or best practices for configuring runtime settings.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as /SAPAPO/CDPSOPT for optimization settings and /SAPAPO/CDPSRUN for running planning runs.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on optimization settings.
  Performance Monitoring Tools: Utilize SAP performance monitoring tools to analyze system performance and identify bottlenecks during the planning run.
  
  By addressing the runtime settings and ensuring optimal system performance, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully complete the optimization process.
