• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_CDMC_CA273 - Enter desired number as less than or equal to the available processes ?

  The SAP error message CNV_CDMC_CA273 indicates that the number of processes you are trying to allocate exceeds the number of available processes in the system. This error typically occurs in the context of data migration or conversion processes, particularly when using the SAP Conversion Tools or the SAP Data Migration Cockpit.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by attempting to set a number of parallel processes (or threads) for a data migration task that is greater than what the system can handle. This can happen due to:
  
  System Limitations: The SAP system has a predefined limit on the number of processes that can run concurrently based on the configuration and available resources (CPU, memory).
  Configuration Settings: The settings in the migration tool or the system configuration may not allow for the number of processes you are trying to set.
  Resource Constraints: The server may not have enough resources (like CPU or memory) to support the number of processes you are trying to allocate.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Available Processes: Determine the maximum number of processes that your system can handle. This can usually be found in the system configuration or by consulting with your SAP Basis team.
  
  
  Adjust Process Count: Reduce the number of processes you are trying to allocate to a number that is less than or equal to the available processes. This can typically be done in the configuration settings of the migration tool you are using.
  
  
  System Resources: If you need to run more processes, consider increasing the system resources (CPU, memory) or optimizing the current workload to allow for more parallel processing.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for the specific migration tool you are using to understand the recommended settings and limitations.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance, especially if you suspect there may be a configuration issue or bug.
