• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BGRFC357 - Server &1: Idle time for scheduler &2 must be greater than 60 seconds ?

  The SAP error message BGRFC357 indicates that the idle time for a background RFC (bRFC) scheduler is set to a value that is less than or equal to 60 seconds. This can lead to performance issues or instability in the system, as the scheduler may not have enough time to process requests efficiently.
  
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the configuration for the bRFC scheduler has an idle time setting that does not meet the minimum requirement of 60 seconds. This setting is crucial for ensuring that the scheduler can manage the processing of background RFC calls effectively.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to adjust the idle time setting for the bRFC scheduler. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the SAP system: Log in to your SAP system where the error is occurring.
