• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 67_STATE018 - Error in parallel processing on &1 at &2: No resources available ?

  The SAP error message 67_STATE018 indicates that there is an issue with parallel processing due to a lack of available resources. This error typically occurs when the system is unable to allocate the necessary resources (such as background work processes) to execute a task in parallel.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Background Work Processes: The SAP system may not have enough background work processes configured to handle the parallel requests.
  High System Load: The system might be under heavy load, causing all available work processes to be occupied.
  Configuration Issues: There may be misconfigurations in the system settings related to parallel processing.
  Resource Limits: The operating system or database may have resource limits that are being hit, preventing new processes from being created.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Work Process Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction RZ10 and check the profile parameters related to background processes (e.g., rdisp/wp_no_btc).
  Increase the number of background work processes if necessary.
  
  
  
  Monitor System Load:
  
  Use transaction SM50 or SM66 to monitor the current workload and see if processes are stuck or if there are too many active processes.
  If the system is overloaded, consider scheduling jobs during off-peak hours.
  
  
  
  Review System Logs:
  
  Check the system logs (transaction SM21) for any additional error messages or warnings that might provide more context about the resource issue.
  
  
  
  Adjust Parallel Processing Settings:
  
  Review the settings for parallel processing in the relevant transaction or program. Ensure that the maximum number of parallel processes is set appropriately.
  
  
  
  Check Operating System and Database Limits:
  
  Ensure that the operating system and database are not hitting their resource limits (e.g., maximum number of processes, memory limits).
  Consult with your system administrator to review and adjust these limits if necessary.
  
  
  
  Restart the Application Server:
  
  If the issue persists, consider restarting the application server to free up resources.
