• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SS035 - Maximum no. of graphics windows already open ?

  The SAP error message SS035, which states "Maximum number of graphics windows already open," typically occurs when a user tries to open more graphical windows (like charts or graphical reports) than the system allows. This limitation is often set to prevent excessive resource consumption on the server or client side.
  Cause:
  
  Limit on Graphics Windows: SAP has a predefined limit on the number of graphical windows that can be opened simultaneously. This limit is often set to 6 or 8, depending on the system configuration.
  Open Sessions: If you have multiple sessions or tabs open in your SAP GUI, each graphical window counts towards this limit.
  Resource Constraints: The system may restrict the number of open graphics windows to manage performance and resource usage effectively.
  
  Solution:
  
  Close Unused Windows: Check for any open graphical windows and close those that are not in use. You can do this by navigating through your open sessions and closing any unnecessary ones.
  Log Off and Log Back In: If you are unable to close the windows manually, logging off from the SAP session and logging back in can reset the count of open graphics windows.
  Increase the Limit: If you frequently need to open more graphical windows, you can consult with your SAP Basis administrator to see if the limit can be increased in the system settings. This may involve changing parameters in the SAP profile settings.
  Use Alternative Views: If possible, consider using alternative methods to view the data, such as exporting reports to Excel or using different transaction codes that do not require graphical windows.
  
  Related Information:
