  SAP Error Message: WR175
  Message Text:
  
  Executing this report online can lead to runtime errors. See long text.
  
  Cause
  This warning message WR175 is issued when you attempt to execute a particular SAP report online (i.e., interactively) that is primarily designed to be run in the background (batch mode). The report might:
  
  Process large volumes of data,
  Perform operations that require significant system resources,
  Or have logic that is not suitable for online execution.
  
  Running such reports online can cause runtime errors, performance issues, or even system instability because the report may exceed dialog work process limits or timeouts.
  
  Explanation (Long Text)
  The long text of the message usually explains that the report is intended for background execution and that running it online may cause runtime errors or system performance problems. It advises users to run the report in the background instead.
  
  Solution / Recommended Action
  
  
  Run the report in background mode:
  
  Use transaction SM36 to schedule the report as a background job.
  This ensures the report runs without tying up dialog work processes and avoids timeouts.
  
  
  
  Check report documentation:
  
  Review the documentation or SAP notes related to the report to confirm the recommended execution mode.
  
  
  
  If online execution is necessary:
  
  Test the report with a small data set to minimize risk.
  Consult with your SAP Basis or development team to check if the report can be optimized for online execution.
  
  
  
  Check for SAP Notes:
  
  Sometimes SAP releases notes or patches that address issues related to report execution modes.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information
  
  
  Why background execution?
  
  Background jobs run asynchronously and are not limited by dialog timeouts. They are suitable for long-running or resource-intensive reports.
  
  
  How to schedule background jobs?
  
  Use transaction SM36 to define and schedule jobs, and SM37 to monitor them.
  
  
  Common scenarios:
  
  Reports that generate large lists, perform mass updates, or extract large datasets often require background execution.
