• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WGDS_CC_2012059 - Enter a server group for parallel processing ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WGDS_CC_2012059 – Enter a server group for parallel processing
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you are trying to execute a process or transaction in SAP that requires parallel processing, but no server group has been specified or assigned. In SAP, parallel processing distributes workload across multiple application servers (server groups) to improve performance. If the system expects a server group for parallel processing and none is provided, it raises this error.
  
  When does it typically occur?
  
  During background job scheduling or execution that involves parallel processing.
  When using certain SAP tools or transactions that support parallel processing (e.g., data load, batch input, or report execution).
  When the system or user input requires specifying a server group but it is left blank or incorrectly configured.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Specify a Server Group:
  
  When prompted, enter a valid server group name for parallel processing.
  Server groups are defined in transaction SM61 or SM51.
  You can check available server groups in SM61 (Server Groups) or via the system administration team.
  
  
  
  Check Server Group Configuration:
  
  Verify that the server group you want to use exists and is active.
  Use transaction SM61 to create or maintain server groups if necessary.
  Ensure that the servers in the group are up and running.
  
  
  
  Adjust Job or Process Settings:
  
  If you are scheduling a background job, in the job definition, specify the server group under the "Target Server" or "Server Group" field.
  For parallel processing programs, check the selection screen or parameters to ensure the server group is entered.
  
  
  
  Consult Basis Team:
  
  If you do not have authorization or knowledge about server groups, contact your SAP Basis team.
  They can provide the correct server group names or create new ones if needed.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction SM61: Used to define and maintain server groups.
  Transaction SM51: Displays active application servers.
  Parallel Processing in SAP: Allows distributing workload across multiple servers to improve performance.
  Background Jobs: Often require specifying server groups for parallel execution.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP OSS notes for any specific patches or updates related to parallel processing errors.
  
  
  Summary:
  The error WGDS_CC_2012059 indicates that a required server group for parallel processing was not entered. To resolve it, specify a valid server group in the relevant field or configuration, ensure the server group exists and is active, and consult your Basis team if needed. This enables the system to distribute the workload properly across servers during parallel processing tasks.
