• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/MSDP_CAP119 - Runtime limit of &1 minutes exceeded; program terminated prematurely ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/MSDP_CAP119 Runtime limit of &1 minutes exceeded; program terminated prematurely typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) or SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) when a process takes longer than the allowed runtime limit set in the system. This can happen during various operations, such as planning runs, data processing, or optimization tasks.
  Cause:
  
  Long-Running Processes: The process being executed is taking longer than the predefined runtime limit. This could be due to large datasets, complex calculations, or inefficient queries.
  System Performance: The performance of the SAP system may be affected by hardware limitations, high system load, or insufficient resources (CPU, memory).
  Configuration Settings: The runtime limit may be set too low for the specific task being executed.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Increase Runtime Limit:
  
  You can increase the runtime limit for the specific program or transaction. This can be done by adjusting the settings in the SAP system.
  Use transaction RZ10 to change the profile parameters. Look for parameters like rdisp/max_wprun_time and increase the value.
  After making changes, you may need to restart the application server for the changes to take effect.
  
  
  
  Optimize the Process:
  
  Review the process that is causing the timeout. Look for ways to optimize the data processing, such as reducing the dataset size, simplifying calculations, or improving query performance.
  Consider breaking down large tasks into smaller, more manageable ones.
  
  
  
  Monitor System Performance:
  
  Use transaction ST03N or ST04 to monitor system performance and identify bottlenecks.
  Check for any background jobs that may be consuming excessive resources and adjust their scheduling if necessary.
  
  
  
  Check for Locks or Deadlocks:
  
  Use transaction SM12 to check for locks that may be causing delays in processing.
  Resolve any deadlocks or long-held locks that could be affecting performance.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as RZ10 (Profile Maintenance), ST03N (Workload Analysis), ST04 (Database Performance), and SM12 (Lock Entries).
  SAP Documentation: Review SAP documentation for best practices in performance tuning and optimization in APO/IBP.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community for insights and experiences from other users who may have encountered similar issues.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the runtime limit error and improve the performance of your SAP APO or IBP processes.
