• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/PE067 - Parallel processing: Max. number of parallel processes &1, Server Gr &2 ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/PE067 indicates that the maximum number of parallel processes has been reached for a specific server group in the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) system. This error typically occurs during the execution of planning runs or background jobs that utilize parallel processing to improve performance.
  Cause:
  
  Max Parallel Processes Reached: The error occurs when the number of parallel processes that can be executed simultaneously exceeds the configured limit for the server group.
  Server Group Configuration: The server group may have a limited number of available resources or processes defined in the system settings.
  High Load: A high volume of planning jobs or processes being executed at the same time can lead to this error.
  System Configuration: The configuration settings for parallel processing in the APO system may not be optimized for the current workload.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Increase Max Parallel Processes:
  
  You can increase the maximum number of parallel processes allowed for the server group. This can be done in the SAP system configuration settings.
  Navigate to the transaction code RSCUSTV10 to adjust the settings for parallel processing.
  
  
  
  Review Server Group Settings:
  
  Check the configuration of the server group in transaction RSCUSTV10 or RSPFPAR to ensure that it is set up to handle the required number of parallel processes.
  
  
  
  Optimize Job Scheduling:
  
  Review the scheduling of jobs to avoid running too many jobs simultaneously. Staggering job execution can help manage the load on the server.
  
  
  
  Monitor System Performance:
  
  Use transaction SM37 to monitor the status of background jobs and identify any jobs that may be causing excessive load.
  Analyze system performance metrics to determine if hardware resources (CPU, memory) are being maxed out.
  
  
  
  Adjust Planning Runs:
  
  If applicable, consider adjusting the planning runs to reduce the number of parallel processes required. This may involve changing the planning horizon or the scope of the planning run.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional guidance or patches related to this error.

  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on configuring parallel processing in APO.
  
  
  Performance Tuning: Consider engaging with SAP Basis or performance tuning experts if the issue persists, as they can provide insights into optimizing system performance.
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and optimize the parallel processing capabilities of your SAP APO system.
