• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message USMD_CREQUEST_API036 - CL_USMD_CREQUEST_API supports no parallel change request processing ?

  The SAP error message USMD_CREQUEST_API036 indicates that the system does not support parallel processing of change requests in the context of the Master Data Governance (MDG) framework. This typically occurs when multiple change requests are being processed simultaneously, which can lead to data inconsistencies or conflicts.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when:
  
  Two or more change requests are being executed at the same time for the same object or data set.
  The system is designed to handle only one change request at a time for a specific object to maintain data integrity.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check for Active Change Requests:
  
  Ensure that there are no other change requests currently being processed for the same object. You can check the status of change requests in the MDG application.
  
  
  
  Sequential Processing:
  
  If you have multiple change requests that need to be processed, ensure they are executed sequentially rather than in parallel. This may involve waiting for one request to complete before starting another.
  
  
  
  Review Custom Code:
  
  If you have custom development or enhancements in your MDG implementation, review the code to ensure it is not inadvertently triggering multiple requests simultaneously.
  
  
  
  System Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings in your MDG system to ensure that they are set up correctly for handling change requests. Consult with your SAP Basis or MDG consultant if necessary.
  
  
  
  Error Handling:
  
  Implement error handling in your application logic to catch this specific error and provide a user-friendly message or retry mechanism.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Look for any relevant SAP Notes or updates that may address this issue. Sometimes, SAP releases patches or notes that provide fixes or workarounds for known issues.
