• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/SDP_PAR010 - Automatic parallel processing only possible during background runs ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/SDP_PAR010 indicates that automatic parallel processing is only possible during background runs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO). This error typically arises when a user attempts to execute a planning run or a similar process in the foreground, which is not supported for parallel processing.
  Cause:
  
  Foreground Execution: The primary cause of this error is that the user is trying to execute a planning run or a similar task in the foreground, where automatic parallel processing is not allowed.
  System Configuration: The system may be configured to allow parallel processing only in background jobs, which is a common practice to optimize resource usage and performance.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should execute the planning run or the relevant process in the background instead of the foreground. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Use Transaction Code: 
  
  Go to the SAP GUI and enter the transaction code for the planning run you are trying to execute (e.g., /SAPAPO/SDP94 for the SNP planning run).
  
  
  
  Schedule as Background Job:
  
  Instead of executing it directly, look for an option to schedule the job in the background. This is usually done by selecting the "Background" option or using the "Job" menu.
  You may also use transaction code SM36 to create a background job manually. Specify the program or transaction you want to run, set the job name, and define the execution time.
  
  
  
  Check Job Logs:
  
  After scheduling the job, you can monitor its execution and check logs using transaction code SM37 to ensure it runs successfully without errors.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might provide additional insights or updates regarding this error message.
  Documentation: Review the SAP APO documentation for details on planning runs and background processing.
  Performance Considerations: Running processes in the background can help improve system performance and reduce the load on the application server during peak hours.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully execute your planning run in the background.
