• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BGRFC079 - Average time in runnable table in seconds ?

  The SAP error message BGRFC079 indicates that there is an issue with the average time spent in the runnable table for background RFC (Remote Function Call) processes. This message typically arises in the context of background processing and can indicate performance issues or bottlenecks in the system.
  Cause:
  
  High Load on Background Processes: If there are too many background jobs or RFC calls being processed simultaneously, it can lead to increased wait times in the runnable table.
  Resource Constraints: Insufficient system resources (CPU, memory, etc.) can cause delays in processing background jobs.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration of the background processing settings or RFC destinations can lead to inefficiencies.
  Long-Running Jobs: If certain background jobs take a long time to complete, they can block other jobs from being processed.
  Network Latency: If the RFC calls involve communication over a network, latency can contribute to longer wait times.
  
  Solution:
  
  Monitor Background Jobs: Use transaction codes like SM37 to monitor background jobs and identify any long-running or failed jobs. Analyze their execution times and resource usage.
  Optimize Long-Running Jobs: Review and optimize the code of any long-running background jobs to improve their performance.
  Increase System Resources: If the system is under heavy load, consider increasing the hardware resources (CPU, memory) or optimizing the existing resources.
  Adjust Background Processing Settings: Review and adjust the settings for background processing in transaction SM36. Ensure that the number of background work processes is adequate for the workload.
  Check RFC Configuration: Ensure that the RFC destinations are correctly configured and that there are no network issues affecting performance.
  Load Balancing: If applicable, consider distributing the load across multiple application servers to balance the processing load.
