SAP Connector Error While Fetching Data

[c_grigoriadis]

Hi All.

I am experiencing a problem with a Qlikview 11.20 installation. We are getting the following message:

RFC function /QTQVC/OPEN_STREAM failed Key = ERROR (ID:00 Type:E Number:001 Error - job READ_DATA did not start in time)

We have checked the SM37 transaction log with no findings.
I'm worried about the fact that our report is working fine 8 out of 10 runs, and we are having this message occasionally.  

Any suggestions about the nature of the error?

Hi,

This error comes from the SQL connector. It occurs when the background extraction job does not start in time. The default value to wait before giving this error is 2400 seconds. It is possible to increase the waiting time by using the connection string property TimeOutStartBatch. Set a higher value like: TimeOutStartBatch=4000;

The SAP system has a limited number of background processes. Probably you have a busy system where it can take time before a background process is available.
