• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RT037 - &1 &3 > &2 &3 15 min. avg. value over threshold value ?

  The SAP error message RT037 typically indicates that a certain threshold value for a performance metric has been exceeded. This message is often related to system performance monitoring, particularly in the context of SAP's workload analysis or performance management tools.
  Cause:
  The error message RT037 is triggered when the average value of a specific performance metric (e.g., CPU usage, memory usage, response time, etc.) over a 15-minute interval exceeds a predefined threshold. This can happen due to various reasons, including:
  
  High Workload: An increase in the number of transactions or users accessing the system can lead to higher resource consumption.
  Inefficient Queries: Poorly optimized database queries can consume excessive CPU or memory resources.
  System Configuration: Inadequate system resources (CPU, memory, etc.) for the current workload.
  Background Jobs: Long-running or resource-intensive background jobs can spike resource usage.
  Hardware Issues: Underlying hardware problems can also lead to performance degradation.
  
  Solution:
  To address the RT037 error, consider the following steps:
  
  Analyze Workload: Use transaction codes like ST03N (Workload Analysis) or ST04 (Database Performance Analysis) to identify which transactions or processes are consuming the most resources.
  Optimize Queries: Review and optimize any long-running or inefficient SQL queries. Use transaction code ST05 (SQL Trace) to trace and analyze SQL performance.
  Adjust Thresholds: If the threshold values are set too low for your current workload, consider adjusting them to more realistic levels based on historical performance data.
  System Resources: Evaluate the current hardware resources. If necessary, consider upgrading the hardware (CPU, memory) to better handle the workload.
  Monitor Background Jobs: Check for any background jobs that may be running during peak times and reschedule them to off-peak hours if possible.
  Performance Tuning: Engage in general performance tuning of the SAP system, including adjusting parameters in the instance profile and database settings.
  Consult SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional guidance or patches related to performance issues.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes for performance monitoring, such as ST03N, ST04, ST05, SM37 (Job Monitoring), and SM66 (Global Work Process Overview).
  SAP Performance Optimization: Consider engaging with SAP's performance optimization services or consulting with SAP Basis experts if the issue persists.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation and best practices for performance management and tuning.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the RT037 error and implement appropriate solutions to mitigate the issue.
