  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_MBT356 - Free BTC = &1. Max. Jobs = &2. ?

    The SAP error message CNV_MBT356 with the text "Free BTC = &1. Max. Jobs = &2." typically relates to issues with background processing in SAP, particularly in the context of data migration or conversion processes. This error indicates that the number of free background processing jobs (BTC) available is less than the maximum number of jobs that can be executed.

    Cause:

    1. Insufficient Background Jobs: The system has reached its limit for background jobs, and there are not enough free jobs available to process the current request.
    2. Job Scheduling: There may be too many jobs scheduled at the same time, leading to a bottleneck.
    3. System Configuration: The configuration settings for background processing may not be optimized for the current workload.

    Solution:

    1. Check Background Job Status:

      • Go to transaction SM37 to check the status of background jobs. Look for any jobs that are running for an extended period or are stuck.
      • If you find jobs that are no longer needed, you can delete or cancel them to free up resources.
    2. Increase Background Job Capacity:

      • You can increase the number of background processing jobs allowed in the system. This can be done by adjusting the profile parameters in transaction RZ10 or RZ11.
      • Look for parameters like rdisp/wp_no_btc (number of background work processes) and increase the value if necessary.
    3. Optimize Job Scheduling:

      • Review the scheduling of jobs to ensure that they are not all set to run at the same time. Staggering job schedules can help manage the load on the system.
    4. Monitor System Performance:

      • Use transaction ST03N to analyze system performance and identify any bottlenecks or resource constraints.
    5. Consult SAP Notes:

      • Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on managing background jobs.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes:

      • SM37: Monitor Background Jobs
      • RZ10: Maintain Profile Parameters
      • RZ11: Display and Maintain Profile Parameters
      • ST03N: Workload Analysis
    • SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for more details on background processing and job management.

    • Performance Tuning: Consider performance tuning of the SAP system to ensure optimal operation, especially during high-load periods.

    If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis team or reach out to SAP support for further assistance.
