• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FRE173 - No Resources for parallel Processing found ?

  The SAP error message FRE173 "No Resources for Parallel Processing found" typically occurs when the system is unable to allocate the necessary resources to execute a task in parallel. This can happen in various scenarios, such as during batch processing, data extraction, or report generation.
  Causes:
  
  Insufficient Background Processing Capacity: The system may not have enough background work processes available to handle the parallel processing requests.
  Configuration Issues: The configuration settings for parallel processing may not be set correctly, leading to resource allocation problems.
  System Load: High system load or resource contention can prevent the allocation of processes for parallel execution.
  User Authorizations: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to execute tasks in parallel.
  Job Scheduling Conflicts: Conflicts with other scheduled jobs may lead to resource unavailability.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Background Process Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction RZ10 and check the profile parameters related to background processing, such as rdisp/wp_no_btc (number of background work processes).
  Ensure that the number of background work processes is sufficient for your needs.
  
  
  
  Monitor System Load:
  
  Use transaction SM50 or SM66 to monitor the current workload on the system. Check if there are too many jobs running or if the system is under heavy load.
  If the system is overloaded, consider rescheduling jobs or increasing system resources.
  
  
  
  Adjust Parallel Processing Settings:
  
  Review the settings for parallel processing in the specific transaction or program you are using. Some programs allow you to configure the degree of parallelism.
  
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user executing the task has the necessary authorizations to run jobs in parallel.
  
  
  
  Review Job Scheduling:
  
  Check for any conflicting jobs in transaction SM37 (Job Monitoring) and adjust the scheduling of jobs to avoid resource contention.
  
  
  
  Increase System Resources:
  
  If the issue persists, consider increasing the hardware resources of the SAP system (CPU, memory) to better handle parallel processing.
