• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BGRFC356 - Server &1: Share of gateway resources &2 must be between 1 and 100 ?

  The SAP error message BGRFC356 indicates an issue with the configuration of the gateway resources for the background RFC (BGRFC) in the SAP system. Specifically, the error message states that the share of gateway resources must be between 1 and 100. This typically occurs when the configuration settings for the BGRFC gateway resources are incorrectly set, leading to an invalid value.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by an incorrect configuration of the gateway resource share in the SAP system. The share value, which determines how much of the gateway's resources are allocated to BGRFC, must be a number between 1 and 100. If the value is set outside this range (e.g., 0 or greater than 100), the system will throw this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to adjust the configuration of the gateway resources. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the SAP system: Log in to your SAP system with appropriate administrative privileges.
  
  
  Transaction Code: Use transaction code RZ10 to access the profile parameters.

  Modify the Value: Ensure that the value of rfc/bgrfc/gw_share is set to a valid number between 1 and 100. If it is set to a value outside this range, change it to a valid value.
  
  
  Save Changes: After making the necessary changes, save the profile.
  
  
  Restart the Instance: For the changes to take effect, you may need to restart the SAP instance.
  
  
  Check the Configuration: After restarting, you can check the configuration again to ensure that the changes have been applied correctly.
