Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_10993_MSG279 - Number of workprocesses requested by the user is &1. ?

  The SAP error message CNV_10993_MSG279 indicates that the number of work processes requested by the user exceeds the limit set in the system configuration. This error typically occurs during data migration or conversion processes, particularly when using the SAP Landscape Transformation (SLT) or other data migration tools.
  Cause:
  
  Exceeding Work Process Limit: The user has requested more work processes than what is configured in the SAP system. Each SAP system has a defined limit for the number of work processes that can be allocated for various tasks.
  Configuration Settings: The system parameters for work processes may not be set correctly, or the user may not have the necessary authorizations to request the desired number of work processes.
  System Load: The system may already be utilizing a significant number of work processes for other tasks, leaving fewer available for the current request.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Work Process Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction RZ10 to check the profile parameters related to work processes. Look for parameters like rdisp/wp_no_dia, rdisp/wp_no_btc, etc.
  Ensure that the total number of work processes configured is sufficient for the tasks being performed.
  
  
  
  Adjust Work Process Requests:
  
  If the number of work processes requested is too high, reduce the request to a number that is within the limits of the configured work processes.
  
  
  
  Monitor System Load:
  
  Use transaction SM66 or SM50 to monitor the current work process usage. If the system is heavily loaded, consider scheduling the task for a time when the system is less busy.
  
  
  
  Increase Work Process Limits:
  
  If necessary, and if the system resources allow, consider increasing the number of work processes in the system configuration. This may require a restart of the SAP system for the changes to take effect.
  
  
  
  User Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to request the desired number of work processes.
