SAP Note 23932 - KSB1/KOB1: TIME_OUT in program SAPFK00B

Symptom:

Message: Program terminates, the dump shows a TIME_OUT because the maximum runtime was exceeded.
Key words: Termination, Dump, Time_Out, rum time error
Transactions: KSB1, KSB2, KOB1, KOB2, KOB3 CJ74, CJ76,

Cause and prerequisites

Too many data records are read.
Groups are used.

Solution

1. If you use Release 2.2, start the transaction with the same parameters in background processing mode.

2. For the transactions not yet supported by the background processing, the group must unfortunately be reduced.

3. If you use Release 2.1 or the transaction terminates in background processing as well, you will have to use smaller gorups. Example: request only a small portion of the cost center/order/project hierarchy.

The following procedure can be used on-line to see how many data records are processed:

1. If the program terminates with a dump, call the debugger. From there, display the tables.
Display table ITEM_TABLE. Use F24 to go to the end of the table. What does the index show? The index indicates the line items that were read up to the termination point.
If the index is less than 10,000, then the selection of records actually can last that long, and you must execute the above mentioned procedures.
