• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WGDS_CC_2012057 - Enter a number of parallel jobs greater than 1 ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WGDS_CC_2012057 – Enter a number of parallel jobs greater than 1
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you attempt to schedule or configure a background job or a process that requires parallel processing, but the number of parallel jobs specified is set to 1 or less. The system expects the number of parallel jobs to be greater than 1 to enable parallel processing.
  In many SAP scenarios, especially in workload distribution or parallel processing frameworks (like in SAP BW, data loads, or background job scheduling), the system requires multiple parallel jobs to optimize performance and throughput. Setting the number of parallel jobs to 1 defeats the purpose and triggers this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Enter a number greater than 1 in the field for the number of parallel jobs.
  Typically, this is done in the job scheduling or process configuration screen where you specify the number of parallel processes.
  For example, if the field currently has "1", change it to "2" or more depending on your system capacity and requirements.
  Save and re-execute the job or process.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Where it occurs:
  
  This message is commonly encountered in SAP background job scheduling, especially when using parallel processing features such as:
  
  Parallel data loads in SAP BW
  Parallel processing in SAP PI/PO
  Parallel job execution in SAP Solution Manager or other SAP components that support parallel jobs
  
  
  
  Why parallel jobs?
  
  Parallel jobs allow the system to split a workload into multiple smaller jobs that run simultaneously, improving performance and reducing total processing time.
  
  
  System considerations:  
  
  Ensure your system has enough resources (CPU, memory) to handle multiple parallel jobs.
  Check system settings for maximum allowed parallel jobs.
  Sometimes, the number of parallel jobs is limited by system configuration or licensing.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes:
  
  Check SAP Notes related to your specific module or component for any additional restrictions or recommendations on parallel job configuration.
