• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_10320055 - Minimum 2 Background Work Processes required ?

  The SAP error message CNV_10320055 indicates that there are not enough background work processes available in the SAP system to perform a specific task, typically related to data migration or conversion activities. This error is often encountered during data migration projects, especially when using tools like SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit or other data transfer methods.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Background Work Processes: The SAP system is configured with fewer background work processes than required for the operation being executed. The minimum requirement is typically two background work processes for certain tasks.
  System Configuration: The configuration of the SAP instance may not have been set up to handle the workload, especially if the system is under heavy load or if other processes are consuming available resources.
  Resource Limitations: The server may be experiencing resource limitations, such as CPU or memory constraints, which can affect the availability of background work processes.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Increase Background Work Processes:
  
  Go to the SAP system profile parameters and increase the number of background work processes. This can be done by modifying the instance profile (usually DEFAULT.PFL or the specific instance profile).
  Look for the parameter rdisp/wp_no_btc and increase its value to at least 2 or more, depending on your system's requirements.
  After making changes, restart the SAP instance for the changes to take effect.
  
  
  
  Check Current Work Process Configuration:
  
  Use transaction code SM51 to check the current configuration of work processes on your SAP application servers.
  Ensure that there are enough background work processes available and that they are not all busy or in a wait state.
  
  
  
  Monitor System Load:
  
  Use transaction codes like SM66 or SM37 to monitor the workload and see if there are any long-running jobs that are consuming background processes.
  If necessary, terminate or reschedule jobs that are not critical to free up background work processes.
  
  
  
  Optimize Background Jobs:
  
  Review and optimize the background jobs that are running in the system to ensure they are not consuming excessive resources.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional guidance or patches related to this error message.
