• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BGRFC136 - No resources in resource cache ?

  The SAP error message BGRFC136: No resources in resource cache 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. This error indicates that there are no available resources in the BGRFC resource cache to process the request.
  Causes:
  
  Resource Exhaustion: The BGRFC resource cache may be exhausted due to a high volume of requests or insufficient configuration of resources.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration of the BGRFC settings in the SAP system can lead to this error.
  System Load: High system load or performance issues can prevent the allocation of resources for BGRFC processing.
  Network Issues: Problems with network connectivity between systems can also lead to resource allocation failures.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Increase Resource Allocation:
  
  Check the BGRFC configuration in transaction SM58 and SMQ1/SMQ2. You may need to increase the number of resources allocated for BGRFC processing.
  Use transaction RZ10 to adjust the profile parameters related to BGRFC, such as bgRFC/MaxResources and bgRFC/MaxQueueSize.
  
  
  
  Monitor System Performance:
  
  Use transaction ST22 to check for dumps that may indicate performance issues.
  Use transaction SM50 or SM66 to monitor the work processes and ensure that they are not overloaded.
  
  
  
  Check for Stuck or Long-Running Jobs:
  
  Investigate if there are any long-running or stuck jobs that are consuming resources. You can check this in transaction SM37.
  
  
  
  Review Logs:
  
  Check the BGRFC logs in transaction SLG1 for any additional error messages or warnings that could provide more context about the issue.
