• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BGRFC658 - Time stamp of the oldest bgRFC unit in the outbound scenario ?

  The SAP error message BGRFC658 indicates that there is a problem with the background RFC (bgRFC) processing in the outbound scenario. Specifically, it refers to the time stamp of the oldest bgRFC unit, which may be causing issues with the processing of background RFC calls.
  Cause:
  
  
  Stale bgRFC Units: The error typically occurs when there are old or stale bgRFC units that have not been processed within a certain time frame. This can happen due to various reasons, such as:
  
  Network issues preventing the processing of bgRFC units.
  System performance issues leading to delays in processing.
  Configuration issues in the bgRFC setup.
  Long-running transactions that are blocking the processing of bgRFC units.
  
  
  
  Timeout Settings: The bgRFC framework has timeout settings that determine how long it will wait for a unit to be processed. If the oldest unit exceeds this time limit, the error will be triggered.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Monitor bgRFC Queue: Use transaction code SBGRFCMON to monitor the bgRFC queues. Check for any units that are stuck or have not been processed for a long time.
  
  
  Analyze and Resolve Issues:
  
  Identify the oldest bgRFC units and investigate why they are not being processed.
  Check for any locks or long-running transactions that may be blocking the processing of bgRFC units.
  Review system performance metrics to identify any bottlenecks.
  
  
  
  Adjust Timeout Settings: If necessary, consider adjusting the timeout settings for bgRFC processing. This can be done in the bgRFC configuration settings.
  
  
  Delete Stale Units: If certain bgRFC units are confirmed to be stale and not needed, you can delete them using transaction SBGRFCDEL to clear the queue.
  
  
  Check Configuration: Ensure that the bgRFC configuration is set up correctly, including the destination settings and any relevant parameters.
  
  
  System Restart: In some cases, restarting the SAP system or the relevant application server may help clear any temporary issues affecting bgRFC processing.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SBGRFCMON: Monitor bgRFC queues.
  SBGRFCDEL: Delete bgRFC units.
  
  
  
  bgRFC Documentation: Review SAP documentation on bgRFC for detailed information on configuration and best practices.
  
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to bgRFC processing and the BGRFC658 error.
  
  
  Performance Monitoring: Regularly monitor system performance and bgRFC processing to prevent future occurrences of this error.
