• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SOMO/BPMON055 - Table &1: Number of updated rows (&2) exceeds maximum (&3) ?

  The SAP error message /SOMO/BPMON055 indicates that the number of rows updated in a specific table exceeds the maximum limit set for that operation. This can occur during batch processing or data updates when the system tries to update too many records at once.
  Cause:
  
  Exceeding Limits: The error typically arises when the number of rows being updated in a single transaction exceeds the predefined limit set in the system configuration.
  Batch Size Configuration: The system may have a configuration that limits the number of rows that can be processed in a single update to prevent performance issues or database locks.
  Data Volume: The volume of data being processed in a single transaction may be too high, leading to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Adjust Batch Size: Review and adjust the batch size configuration in the relevant settings. This can often be done in the transaction or program that is performing the update.
  Split Updates: If adjusting the batch size is not feasible, consider splitting the update into smaller batches. This can be done programmatically by processing a subset of records at a time.
  Check Configuration: Consult with your SAP Basis or ABAP team to check if there are any specific configurations or limits set for the table in question. They may need to adjust parameters in the system settings.
  Review Code: If this error is occurring in a custom program, review the code to ensure that it is not attempting to update too many records at once. Implement logic to handle updates in smaller chunks.
  Database Performance: Ensure that the database is optimized for handling large updates. Sometimes, performance tuning can help accommodate larger transactions.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on the context, you may want to look into transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE80 (Object Navigator), or SE38 (ABAP Editor) to analyze the table structure and the program logic.
