• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BGRFC661 - Number of dumps in the outbound scenario ?

  The SAP error message BGRFC661 indicates that there is an issue with the number of dumps in the outbound scenario of the Background Remote Function Call (BGRFC) framework. This error typically arises when the system encounters a high number of failed or dumped BGRFC calls, which can lead to performance issues or disruptions in the communication between systems.
  Cause:
  
  High Volume of Outbound Calls: A large number of outbound BGRFC calls may be failing due to various reasons, such as network issues, system overload, or configuration problems.
  Error in the Called Function Module: The function module being called may have errors or may not be available, leading to dumps.
  System Resource Limitations: Insufficient system resources (like memory or processing power) can cause the BGRFC to fail.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration of BGRFC settings or related parameters can lead to failures.
  Database Issues: Problems with the database, such as locks or performance issues, can also cause BGRFC calls to fail.
  
  Solution:
  
  Analyze the Dump: Use transaction ST22 to analyze the dumps that have occurred. This will provide insights into the specific errors and their causes.
  Check BGRFC Monitor: Use transaction SM58 or SLG1 to monitor the BGRFC calls and identify any failed calls. This can help in pinpointing the source of the problem.
  Review Function Module: Check the function module being called for any errors or issues. Ensure that it is functioning correctly and is available.
  Increase System Resources: If the system is under heavy load, consider increasing the resources (CPU, memory) allocated to the SAP system.
  Configuration Review: Review the BGRFC configuration settings in transaction SBD1 and ensure they are set correctly.
  Database Performance: Check the database performance and resolve any locks or performance issues that may be affecting BGRFC calls.
  Retry Mechanism: Implement a retry mechanism for failed BGRFC calls to ensure that transient issues do not lead to permanent failures.
  
  Related Information:
  
  BGRFC Overview: BGRFC is a framework for asynchronous communication between SAP systems, allowing for reliable message processing.
  Monitoring Tools: Use tools like transaction SM58 (for transactional RFC) and SLG1 (for application logs) to monitor and troubleshoot BGRFC issues.
  SAP Notes: Check for relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to BGRFC and provide patches or updates.
  Performance Tuning: Consider performance tuning for both the SAP application and the underlying database to improve overall system responsiveness.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the BGRFC661 error and implement a solution to resolve it.
