• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_10993_MSG058 - No free background work process available ?

  The SAP error message CNV_10993_MSG058: No free background work process available typically occurs when there are no available background work processes in the SAP system to handle the requested job. This can happen for several reasons, including system overload, configuration issues, or resource limitations.
  Causes:
  
  High Workload: The system may be experiencing a high volume of background jobs, leading to all available background work processes being occupied.
  Configuration Issues: The number of background work processes may be set too low in the system configuration.
  Long-Running Jobs: Some background jobs may be taking longer than expected to complete, thus occupying the work processes.
  System Resource Limitations: Insufficient system resources (CPU, memory) can lead to delays in job processing.
  Job Scheduling Conflicts: Multiple jobs may be scheduled to run at the same time, leading to contention for available work processes.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Background Job Status:
  
  Use transaction code SM37 to monitor the status of background jobs. Identify any long-running or stuck jobs and consider terminating them if they are not needed.
  
  
  
  Increase Background Work Processes:
  
  Adjust the number of background work processes in the system profile. This can be done by modifying the instance profile parameters:
  
  Go to transaction RZ10.
  Find the parameter rdisp/wp_no_btc and increase its value.
  Save the changes and restart the instance for the changes to take effect.
  
  
  
  
  
  Optimize Background Jobs:
  
  Review the scheduled background jobs and optimize their execution times. Stagger job schedules to avoid peak load times.
  
  
  
  System Resource Monitoring:
  
  Monitor system resources using transaction ST03N or ST06 to identify any bottlenecks. If necessary, consider upgrading hardware resources.
  
  
  
  Check for Job Scheduling Conflicts:
  
  Review the job scheduling in transaction SM36 to ensure that jobs are not scheduled to run simultaneously when they could be staggered.
  
  
  
  Review Job Priorities:
  
  Adjust the priorities of background jobs to ensure that critical jobs have the necessary resources.
