• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DB6PM775 - DBCFG - MAXAPPLS: value of MAXAPPLS should not be lower AVG_APPLS ?

  The SAP error message DB6PM775 DBCFG - MAXAPPLS: value of MAXAPPLS should not be lower than AVG_APPLS indicates a configuration issue related to the database connection parameters in the SAP system. This error typically arises when the maximum number of applications (MAXAPPLS) configured for the database connection is set to a value that is lower than the average number of applications (AVG_APPLS) that are expected to be running concurrently.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Mismatch: The MAXAPPLS parameter is set to a value that is less than the AVG_APPLS. This can happen due to incorrect manual configuration or changes made to the database settings.
  Increased Load: If the workload on the database has increased, the average number of applications may have risen, leading to this error if MAXAPPLS is not adjusted accordingly.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to adjust the MAXAPPLS parameter in the database configuration. Here are the steps to do so:
  
  
  Identify Current Settings:
  
  Check the current values of MAXAPPLS and AVG_APPLS. You can usually find these settings in the database configuration files or through the database management interface.
  
  
  
  Adjust MAXAPPLS:
  
  Increase the value of MAXAPPLS to be greater than or equal to AVG_APPLS. This can typically be done through the database configuration settings or using SQL commands, depending on the database system you are using (e.g., DB2, Oracle, etc.).
  
  
  
  Restart Database:
  
  After making changes to the configuration, you may need to restart the database for the changes to take effect.
  
  
  
  Monitor Performance:
  
  After adjusting the settings, monitor the database performance to ensure that the changes have resolved the issue and that the system is operating within acceptable parameters.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation or the database documentation for specific instructions on how to change configuration parameters.
  Database Type: The steps may vary depending on the type of database you are using (e.g., SAP HANA, Oracle, DB2). Ensure you are following the correct procedures for your specific database.
  Performance Tuning: Consider reviewing other related parameters that may affect database performance and application concurrency, such as connection pooling settings, to optimize overall system performance.
  
  If you continue to experience issues after making these changes, it may be beneficial to consult with your database administrator or SAP support for further assistance.
