• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPPO/SYSTEM112 - Message overflow: Retry mode set to "Manually Only" ?

  The SAP error message /SAPPO/SYSTEM112 Message overflow: Retry mode set to "Manually Only" typically indicates that the system has encountered a situation where the message queue has reached its limit, and as a result, the retry mode for processing messages has been set to "Manually Only." This means that the system will not automatically retry processing messages that fail; instead, it requires manual intervention to resolve the issue.
  Cause:
  
  Message Queue Overflow: The primary cause of this error is that the message queue has exceeded its capacity. This can happen due to a high volume of messages being processed or if there are issues with the processing of certain messages that cause them to accumulate.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration settings for message processing or limits on the number of messages that can be queued may lead to this overflow.
  System Performance: If the system is under heavy load or if there are performance issues, it may not be able to process messages quickly enough, leading to an overflow.
  Error in Message Processing: If there are errors in the messages themselves or in the processing logic, it can cause messages to fail and accumulate in the queue.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Message Queue: Monitor the message queue to identify any messages that are causing the overflow. You can use transaction codes like SMQ1 (for outbound queues) and SMQ2 (for inbound queues) to check the status of the queues.
  Analyze Failed Messages: Look for any messages that have failed and analyze the reasons for their failure. This may involve checking logs or error messages associated with those messages.
  Increase Queue Capacity: If the message volume is consistently high, consider increasing the capacity of the message queue. This may involve adjusting configuration settings in the SAP system.
  Manual Intervention: Since the retry mode is set to "Manually Only," you will need to manually process the messages that have failed. This may involve reprocessing them or correcting any issues that caused them to fail initially.
  System Performance Tuning: If the system is under heavy load, consider optimizing performance by tuning system parameters, increasing resources, or scheduling batch jobs during off-peak hours.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support notes related to message processing and queue management for specific guidance and best practices.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SMQ1, SMQ2, SM21 (system log), and SLG1 (application log) for monitoring and troubleshooting.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes that may address known issues related to message processing and queue management.
  System Monitoring Tools: Utilize SAP monitoring tools like Solution Manager or other third-party monitoring solutions to keep track of system performance and message processing.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the message overflow and take appropriate actions to resolve the issue.
