SAP S/4HANA Error 687: SQL Result Lag Exceeded
Description
This error indicates that the time taken for a SQL operation to produce its result has exceeded a predefined maximum lag threshold, specifically related to 'RESULT_LAG'. It typically occurs in scenarios where data freshness is critical, such as real-time analytics or data replication, and the system cannot keep up with the expected processing speed.
Error Message
ERR_SQL_EXCEED_LAG_TIME: Exceed lag time of RESULT_LAG
Known Causes
4 known causesHigh Data Volume or Complex Queries
Processing exceptionally large datasets or executing highly complex SQL queries can significantly increase the time required for results to materialize, leading to lag.
Insufficient System Resources
The SAP S/4HANA system or underlying database may lack adequate CPU, memory, or I/O capacity to handle the current workload efficiently, causing processing delays.
Network Latency or Bottlenecks
Delays in data transfer due to network congestion, high latency, or unreliable connectivity between application servers and the database can contribute to increased lag time.
Misconfigured Lag Thresholds
The `RESULT_LAG` threshold or related system parameters might be set too restrictively for the actual operational environment or the expected workload, triggering the error prematurely.
