• Message class: STRALAN_MSAG - Language Transport Messages

• Message number: 378

• Message text: ... start parallel export, degree of parallelism: &

What causes this issue?

Parallel export starts

System Response

After the first export has been completed successfully, the following
transports are started in parallel. You can specify how many exports
are started in parallel.
A degree of parallelism of 1 means that the transport requests are
exported one after the other.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message STRALAN_MSAG378 - ... start parallel export, degree of parallelism: & ?

  The SAP error message STRALAN_MSAG378 typically relates to issues encountered during the execution of a parallel export operation in SAP, particularly in the context of data extraction or data transfer processes. The message indicates that there is a problem with starting the parallel export, and it specifies the degree of parallelism that was intended for the operation.
  Cause:
  
  Resource Limitations: The system may not have enough resources (CPU, memory, or I/O capacity) to handle the requested degree of parallelism.
  Configuration Issues: The settings for parallel processing in the SAP system may not be configured correctly, leading to failures in starting parallel tasks.
  Locks or Contention: There may be locks on the data being accessed, or other processes may be contending for the same resources, preventing the parallel export from starting.
  System Parameters: Certain system parameters related to parallel processing may not be set optimally, leading to issues when attempting to execute parallel tasks.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check System Resources: Monitor the system's CPU, memory, and I/O usage to ensure that there are sufficient resources available for the parallel export operation. If resources are constrained, consider optimizing other processes or increasing system capacity.
  Review Configuration: Verify the configuration settings for parallel processing in the SAP system. This includes checking parameters related to parallelism in transaction codes like RZ10 (for profile parameters) and RZ11 (for dynamic parameters).
  Analyze Locks: Use transaction codes like SM12 to check for locks on the relevant tables or data. If locks are found, determine the cause and resolve them.
  Adjust Degree of Parallelism: If the system cannot handle the specified degree of parallelism, consider reducing it to a lower value that the system can manage effectively.
  Check Logs: Review the application logs (transaction SLG1) and system logs (transaction SM21) for any additional error messages or warnings that could provide more context about the failure.
  Consult SAP Notes: Search for relevant SAP Notes in the SAP Support Portal that may address known issues related to this error message.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SM37 (for monitoring jobs), SM12 (for checking locks), and ST22 (for dump analysis).
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for guidance on parallel processing and data export operations.
  Performance Tuning: Consider engaging in performance tuning activities to optimize the overall system performance, which may help alleviate issues with parallel processing.
  
  If the problem persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to reach out to SAP support for further assistance, providing them with detailed information about the error and the context in which it occurred.
