• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSCRT013 - Daemon creation failed ?

  The SAP error message RSCRT013: Daemon creation failed typically occurs in the context of SAP's background processing or when trying to start a report or job that requires a background daemon. This error can be caused by several factors, and here are some common causes, potential solutions, and related information:
  Causes:
  
  Insufficient System Resources: The system may not have enough memory or CPU resources available to create a new daemon process.
  Configuration Issues: There may be misconfigurations in the SAP system settings related to background processing or the job scheduler.
  User Authorization: The user trying to start the daemon may not have the necessary authorizations.
  Operating System Limitations: The operating system may have limits on the number of processes that can be created or may have reached its maximum number of allowed processes.
  SAP Kernel Issues: There may be bugs or issues in the SAP kernel that affect daemon creation.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check System Resources: Monitor the system's CPU and memory usage. If resources are low, consider optimizing the system or increasing the available resources.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings for background processing in transaction codes like SM37 (Job Monitoring) and SM36 (Define Background Job). Ensure that the settings are correct.
  User Authorizations: Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to create and manage background jobs. You can check this in transaction SU53 or by reviewing the user's roles and profiles.
