• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SDMI401 - - Number of configured maximm parallelization: &1 ?

  The SAP error message SDMI401 - "Number of configured maximum parallelization: &1" typically occurs in the context of SAP's Data Migration Interface (DMI) or during data migration processes. This error indicates that the number of parallel processes that can be executed has been exceeded or is not configured correctly.
  Cause:
  
  Exceeding Maximum Parallelization: The error usually arises when the system attempts to execute more parallel processes than what is configured in the system settings.
  Configuration Issues: The maximum number of parallel processes may not be set correctly in the system configuration, leading to this error when the system tries to run multiple processes simultaneously.
  Resource Limitations: The underlying infrastructure may not have enough resources (CPU, memory) to handle the number of parallel processes being requested.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration Settings:
  
  Go to the relevant configuration settings in your SAP system where the maximum parallelization is defined. This is often found in the DMI settings or related transaction codes.
  Adjust the maximum number of parallel processes to a higher value if necessary, but ensure that it is within the limits of your system's capabilities.
  
  
  
  Monitor System Resources:
  
  Check the system's performance metrics to ensure that it can handle the increased load. If the system is already under heavy load, consider reducing the number of parallel processes instead.
  
  
  
  Adjust Job Scheduling:
  
  If you are using background jobs, consider scheduling them to run at different times to avoid exceeding the maximum parallelization limit.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific version of your SAP system for any additional configuration parameters or recommendations.
  
  
  
  Contact SAP Support:
