How To Fix RSM132 - Processing terminated due to resource bottlenecks (background job)

RSM132 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RSM -

• Message number: 132

• Message text: Processing terminated due to resource bottlenecks (background job)

What causes this issue?

The process variant <LS>Load All Hierarchies</> was terminated because
of a resource bottleneck (number of background processes).
The hierarchies should be loaded in separate background jobs, but for
more than 2,000 seconds there was no free background job for further
processing. Processing was then terminated.

System Response

A certain number of hierarchies could be loaded, but no further load
processes could be scheduled. Therefore the process variant terminates
and the corresponding hierarchies are not loaded.

How to fix this error?

Check the number of possible background jobs in your system and, if
necessary, increase the number of background jobs. You can also execute
the process variant or process chain at a time when there are free
background work processes in the system.

Procedure for System Administrators

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSM132 - Processing terminated due to resource bottlenecks (background job) ?

  The SAP error message RSM132 indicates that a background job has been terminated due to resource bottlenecks. This typically occurs when the system runs out of resources such as memory, CPU, or other system resources required to complete the job. Here are some common causes, potential solutions, and related information for this error:
  Causes:
  
  Insufficient Memory: The job may require more memory than is available in the system.
  High CPU Usage: Other processes may be consuming a significant amount of CPU resources, leaving insufficient resources for the background job.
  Database Locks: If the job is trying to access locked database resources, it may lead to delays and eventual termination.
  
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration settings for background processing or system parameters may lead to resource bottlenecks.
  Job Priority: The background job may have a lower priority compared to other jobs, causing it to be starved of resources.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Monitor System Resources: Use transaction codes like ST02 (Buffer Monitor), ST03
