• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TS011 - TemSe: Too many objects open ?

  The SAP error message TS011 "TemSe: Too many objects open" typically occurs when the system has reached the limit of open TemSe objects. TemSe (Temporary Sequential File) is a temporary storage area in SAP used for storing various types of data, such as spool requests, print requests, and other temporary files.
  Cause:
  
  
  Exceeding Limits: Each SAP system has a limit on the number of TemSe objects that can be open at any given time. This limit can be reached due to:
  
  A large number of spool requests being generated.
  Background jobs that create many temporary files.
  Long-running processes that do not close their TemSe objects properly.
  
  
  
  System Configuration: The configuration settings for TemSe may not be optimized for the workload of the system.
  
  
  Memory Issues: Insufficient memory or resources allocated to the SAP system can also lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Close Unused TemSe Objects: 
  
  You can use transaction code SP01 to check for and delete old or unnecessary spool requests. This can help free up TemSe objects.
  Use transaction SP02 to manage background jobs and their associated spool requests.
  
  
  
  Increase the Limit: 
  
  If the limit is consistently being reached, consider increasing the maximum number of TemSe objects allowed. This can be done by adjusting the parameter rdisp/tm_max_no in the instance profile. However, this should be done with caution and ideally under the guidance of an SAP Basis administrator.
  
  
  
  Monitor and Optimize: 
  
  Regularly monitor the number of open TemSe objects and the overall performance of the system. 
  Optimize background jobs and spool requests to ensure they are not generating excessive temporary files.
  
  
  
  System Restart: In some cases, restarting the SAP instance can help clear out any lingering open TemSe objects.
  
  
  Check for Errors: Investigate if there are any underlying issues causing processes to hang or not close properly, leading to an accumulation of open TemSe objects.
