This is a safety mechanism within SAP to prevent the misuse of certain parameters that could potentially disrupt system stability or performance.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises when:
  
  A parameter that is intended for emergency situations (like system recovery or troubleshooting) is inadvertently included in a profile that is used for regular operations.
  The system is configured to restrict the use of certain parameters to ensure that they are only used when absolutely necessary.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  Identify the Parameter: Check the specific parameter mentioned in the error message (&1). You can look it up in the SAP documentation or parameter reference to understand its purpose and implications.
  Remove the Parameter: Access the profile (&2) that is causing the error and remove the emergency parameter from it. This can typically be done through transaction codes like RZ10 (for profile maintenance).
  Save Changes: After removing the parameter, save the changes to the profile.
  Restart the Instance: If necessary, restart the SAP instance for the changes to take effect.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for detailed information on system parameters and their intended use.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as:
  
  RZ10: Profile maintenance
  RZ11: Display and maintain profile parameters
