• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TN730 - File too big; not sent ?

  The SAP error message TN730 "File too big; not sent" typically occurs when you are trying to send a file via the SAP system, and the file size exceeds the maximum limit set in the system configuration. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when using the SAPconnect (SCOT) for sending emails with attachments or when transferring files through other interfaces.
  Cause:
  
  File Size Limit: The primary cause of this error is that the file you are attempting to send exceeds the maximum file size limit configured in the SAP system.
  Configuration Settings: The limits for file sizes can be set in various places, such as in the SAPconnect settings or in the specific transaction you are using to send the file.
  Network Limitations: Sometimes, network configurations or limitations can also contribute to this issue, especially if there are restrictions on file sizes for email attachments.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check File Size: First, verify the size of the file you are trying to send. If it exceeds the limit, consider reducing the file size.
  Adjust Configuration Settings:
  
  For SAPconnect, you can adjust the maximum file size limit by navigating to the transaction code SCOT.
  In SCOT, go to the settings for the communication method you are using (e.g., SMTP for email) and look for the parameter that defines the maximum file size.
  You may need to consult with your SAP Basis administrator to make these changes, as they may require appropriate authorizations.
  
  
  Split the File: If reducing the file size is not feasible, consider splitting the file into smaller parts and sending them separately.
  Check Network Settings: If applicable, check with your network administrator to ensure there are no additional restrictions on file sizes for email or other communication methods.
  
  Related Information:
