• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BGRFC114 - Unit &1 restarted ?

  The SAP error message BGRFC114 indicates that a background RFC (Remote Function Call) unit has been restarted. This typically occurs in the context of the Background RFC (BGRFC) framework, which is used for asynchronous communication between different SAP systems or between different processes within the same system.
  Cause:
  The error can be caused by several factors, including:
  
  System Restart: The SAP system or the application server may have been restarted, causing the BGRFC units to be interrupted.
  Network Issues: Temporary network issues or disconnections can lead to the interruption of BGRFC units.
  Resource Limitations: Insufficient resources (like memory or CPU) on the application server can lead to the failure of BGRFC units.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration of the BGRFC settings or parameters can lead to instability.
  Long-running Processes: If a BGRFC unit takes too long to execute, it may be terminated and restarted.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the BGRFC114 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  Check System Logs: Review the system logs (transaction SM21) and the BGRFC logs (transaction SLG1) for any additional error messages or warnings that could provide more context about the issue.
  Monitor BGRFC Status: Use transaction SM58 to monitor the status of the BGRFC queues. Check for any stuck or failed units and attempt to restart them if necessary.
  Review Configuration: Ensure that the BGRFC configuration is correct. Check the settings in transaction SMD (SAP Solution Manager Diagnostics) or RZ12 for any relevant parameters.
  Check System Resources: Monitor system resources (CPU, memory, etc.) to ensure that the application server is not overloaded. You can use transaction ST02 (buffer management) and ST06 (OS monitoring) for this purpose.
  Network Stability: Ensure that the network connection between the systems is stable and that there are no intermittent connectivity issues.
  Increase Timeout Settings: If long-running processes are common, consider increasing the timeout settings for BGRFC units to prevent premature termination.
  Restart the BGRFC Unit: If the unit has been restarted, you may need to manually restart the BGRFC unit or the associated processes.
