• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WR_POWL015 - Your search result is restricted to &1 lines ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WR_POWL015: Your search result is restricted to &1 lines
  
  Cause:
  This message appears in SAP when a search or query in the POWL (Personal Object Worklist) framework returns more results than the system is configured to display. To avoid performance issues and long response times, SAP limits the number of lines (rows) shown in the search result. The placeholder &1 is replaced by the maximum number of lines allowed.
  
  Explanation:
  
  The POWL framework is used in SAP Fiori and other SAP UI technologies to display lists of business objects.
  When a user performs a search or filter, the system fetches matching entries.
  If the number of entries exceeds a predefined limit, SAP truncates the result and shows this message to inform the user that not all results are displayed.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Increase the Maximum Number of Lines:
  
  The limit is controlled by a parameter in the POWL configuration or by a system parameter.
  You can increase the maximum number of lines to display more results.
  This can be done by adjusting the parameter MAX_LINES in the POWL query or by changing the relevant customizing settings.
  
  
  
  Refine the Search Criteria:
  
  Narrow down the search filters to reduce the number of results.
  Use more specific search terms or additional filter criteria.
  
  
  
  Check and Adjust POWL Settings:
  
  Use transaction POWL or POWL_QUERY to check the query definitions.
  In some cases, the limit is set in the POWL query definition or in the ABAP code that implements the query.
  
  
  
  Technical Adjustment (if applicable):
  
  The limit might be set in the ABAP code of the POWL query provider class (method GET_QUERY_RESULT).
  Developers can modify the code to increase the limit or implement paging.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  POWL Framework: Used in SAP NetWeaver and SAP Fiori to display personalized worklists.
  Performance Consideration: Increasing the limit too much can degrade performance.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or recommendations related to WR_POWL015.
  Transaction Codes:
  
  POWL – Personal Object Worklist maintenance
  POWL_QUERY – Maintain POWL queries
  
  
  Parameter Examples:
  
  MAX_LINES or similar parameters in the POWL query or configuration.
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  
  Cause: Search result exceeds the maximum allowed number of lines.
  Solution: Increase the limit or refine the search criteria.
  Additional: Adjust POWL query settings or ABAP code if necessary.
  
  
  If you need help with a specific system or scenario, please provide details such as the POWL query name or the context in which the error occurs.
