• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WAB171 - Report &1 was terminated. &2 of &3 documents were parallel processed ?

  The SAP error message WAB171 indicates that a report was terminated due to issues related to parallel processing of documents. This error typically arises when a report is trying to process a large number of documents simultaneously, and there are constraints or issues that prevent it from completing successfully.
  Cause:
  
  Resource Limitations: The system may not have enough resources (memory, CPU) to handle the parallel processing of the specified number of documents.
  Configuration Issues: The parallel processing settings in the SAP system may not be configured correctly, leading to conflicts or overload.
  Locks or Deadlocks: If multiple processes are trying to access the same data simultaneously, it can lead to locks or deadlocks, causing the report to terminate.
  Timeouts: The processing time for the documents may exceed the allowed limits, resulting in a timeout and termination of the report.
  Data Issues: There may be specific data-related issues (e.g., inconsistencies, missing data) that cause the report to fail during processing.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check System Resources: Monitor the system's performance and resource usage. If necessary, increase the available resources or optimize the system configuration.
  Adjust Parallel Processing Settings: Review and adjust the settings for parallel processing in the SAP system. This can often be done in transaction codes like RZ10 (for profile parameters) or RZ20 (for monitoring).
  Review Logs: Check the application logs (transaction SLG1) and short dump analysis (transaction ST22) for more detailed error messages that can provide insights into the cause of the termination.
  Limit Document Processing: If possible, reduce the number of documents being processed in parallel. This can be done by adjusting the selection criteria or breaking the processing into smaller batches.
  Data Validation: Ensure that the data being processed is valid and consistent. Run checks to identify any data issues that may be causing the report to fail.
  Increase Timeout Settings: If timeouts are an issue, consider increasing the timeout settings for the report execution.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SM37 (to check job logs), ST22 (for dumps), and SLG1 (for application logs).
  SAP Notes: Search for relevant SAP Notes in the SAP Support Portal that may address specific issues related to the WAB171 error.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to the specific report you are running to understand its requirements and limitations regarding parallel processing.
