DMC_RT_MSG071 - Details

• The SAP error message DMC_RT_MSG071 indicates that the number of processors configured for the SAP system is less than the number of work processes defined. This can lead to performance issues, as the system may not be able to utilize all available resources effectively.
  
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Mismatch: The number of work processes defined in the SAP system profile is greater than the number of available processors on the server.
  Resource Allocation: The system is trying to allocate more work processes than the hardware can support, which can lead to contention and performance degradation.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Adjust Work Processes:
  
  Access the SAP profile parameters (usually through transaction RZ10 or RZ11).
  Check the parameters related to work processes, such as rdisp/wp_no_dia, rdisp/wp_no_btc, etc.
  Reduce the number of work processes to match the number of available processors. A common recommendation is to have a ratio of 1 work process per processor, but this can vary based on the workload and system configuration.
