• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BGRFC455 - Max. and average time in executable state: &2 and &3 (&1) ?

  The SAP error message BGRFC455 indicates that there is a problem with the background RFC (Remote Function Call) processing in the SAP system. Specifically, this message is related to the maximum and average time that a background RFC has spent in an executable state, which has exceeded predefined thresholds. 
  Cause:
  
  Long Running Processes: The background RFCs may be taking too long to execute due to complex processing, inefficient coding, or large data volumes.
  System Performance Issues: High system load, resource contention, or insufficient hardware resources (CPU, memory, etc.) can lead to delays in processing.
  Network Latency: If the RFC calls are made to remote systems, network issues can cause delays.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration of the background RFC settings or thresholds can lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Analyze Long Running Jobs: Use transaction codes like SM37 (Job Monitoring) to identify long-running jobs and analyze their performance. Look for any jobs that are taking longer than expected.
  Optimize Code: If specific RFC calls are taking too long, review the code for optimization opportunities. This may involve improving SQL queries, reducing data volume, or optimizing logic.
  Check System Performance: Monitor system performance using transaction ST03N (Workload Analysis) or ST06 (Operating System Monitor) to identify any bottlenecks in CPU, memory, or I/O.
  Adjust RFC Parameters: If necessary, adjust the parameters for background RFC processing in transaction RZ10 or RZ11. This may include increasing the timeout settings or adjusting the number of work processes.
  Network Check: If the RFC calls are made to remote systems, check for any network issues that may be causing delays.
  Increase Resources: If the system is consistently under heavy load, consider scaling up the hardware resources or optimizing the workload distribution.

  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to background RFC processing.
  Monitoring Tools: Consider using SAP Solution Manager or other monitoring tools to keep track of system performance and background job execution.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the BGRFC455 error and implement appropriate solutions to mitigate the issue.
