How To Fix WLC_PARALLEL034 - Selection of table &1 is not restricted

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: WLC_PARALLEL - Load Distribution and External Parallel Processing

• Message number: 034

• Message text: Selection of table &1 is not restricted

What causes this issue?

The system has determined that the worklist preselection from table
&V1& is not restricted. The selection conditions come from the variants
entered for the report that is to be parallel processed and from the
selection options in the selection screen that are defined in
<DS:TRAN.WLCPARC>Customizing</> in the <ZH>Additional selection
criteria </> view.

System Response

A worklist preselection that is not restricted means that the entire
contents of the table would be selected. This applies in a few cases.
The system has therefore automatically terminated the processing to
allow you to define the optimum values in Customizing.

How to fix this error?

The variants' values can only be taken into consideration if the
selection options are defined so that they clearly refer to table &V1&.
Otherwise they have to be copied over to the selection screen as
additional selection criteria.
The criteria rejected by the program and the tables selected are listed
in the report output.
For further information on why and how you define additional selection
criteria, see the <DS:RE.RWLC_PROCESS_IN_PARALLEL>Documentation</> in
the transaction <DS:TRAN.WLCPAR>WLCPAR</>.
