• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/MVM202 - Restart transaction to run parallel copy on other server group ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/MVM202 indicates that there is an issue with the parallel processing of a transaction in the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module. This error typically arises when the system is unable to execute a parallel copy operation due to the current server group configuration or resource availability.
  Cause:
  
  Server Group Configuration: The server group that is currently being used may not be configured to handle the parallel processing required for the transaction.
  Resource Availability: There may not be enough resources (e.g., memory, CPU) available on the current server to perform the operation.
  Locking Issues: There could be locks on the data that prevent the transaction from being executed in parallel.
  System Load: High system load or performance issues may prevent the transaction from being executed as expected.
  
  Solution:
  
  Restart the Transaction: As suggested by the error message, try restarting the transaction. This may allow it to run on a different server group that is capable of handling the parallel processing.
  Check Server Group Configuration: Ensure that the server group is properly configured for parallel processing. You may need to consult with your SAP Basis team to verify the configuration.
  Monitor System Resources: Check the system resources to ensure that there are enough available for the transaction. You can use transaction codes like SM50 or SM66 to monitor active processes and system load.
  Review Locks: Use transaction SM12 to check for any locks that may be affecting the transaction. If there are locks, you may need to resolve them before retrying the transaction.
  Adjust Parallel Processing Settings: If applicable, review and adjust the settings for parallel processing in the APO configuration. This may involve changing parameters related to parallel processing in the APO settings.
  Consult SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
