• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BGRFC459 - Server &1: Configured outbound schedulers &2, currently available &3 ?

  The SAP error message BGRFC459 indicates an issue with the background RFC (BGRFC) configuration in your SAP system. This error typically arises when there is a mismatch between the configured outbound schedulers and the currently available ones. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Mismatch: The number of outbound schedulers configured in the system does not match the number of schedulers that are currently available or active.
  Scheduler Issues: There may be issues with the background processing or the BGRFC scheduler itself, such as it being stopped or not properly configured.
  System Load: High system load or resource constraints may prevent the schedulers from starting or functioning correctly.
  Network Issues: Problems with network connectivity can also affect the availability of the schedulers.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code SM58 to check the configuration of the BGRFC and ensure that the number of outbound schedulers is correctly set.
  Use transaction SMD (SAP Solution Manager Diagnostics) to check the BGRFC configuration.
  
  
  
  Restart Schedulers:
  
  If the schedulers are not running, you may need to restart them. This can be done through transaction SM37 to check for any background jobs that may be stuck or failed.
  You can also use transaction SM51 to check the status of the application servers and ensure that they are running properly.
  
  
  
  Check System Resources:
  
  Monitor system resources (CPU, memory, etc.) to ensure that the system is not overloaded. You can use transaction ST02 (buffer management) and ST04 (database performance) for this purpose.
  
  
  
  Review Logs:
  
  Check the system logs (transaction SM21) and the BGRFC logs (transaction SLG1) for any additional error messages or warnings that could provide more context on the issue.
  
  
  
  Adjust Configuration:
  
  If necessary, adjust the configuration of the outbound schedulers to match the available ones. This may involve increasing the number of schedulers or modifying their settings.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Look for relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error. You can search for notes in the SAP Support Portal.

  BGRFC Overview: BGRFC (Background Remote Function Call) is a mechanism in SAP that allows asynchronous communication between different SAP systems or between different application servers within the same system.
  Monitoring BGRFC: Use transaction SLG1 to monitor BGRFC logs and check for any errors or warnings related to the BGRFC processing.
  Performance Tuning: Regularly monitor and tune the performance of your SAP system to prevent issues related to BGRFC and other background processing tasks.
  
  If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to engage SAP support for further assistance.
