How To Fix RT419 - SAP Update Task V1: Percentage load for update task work process

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RT - Monitoring infrastructure MSG and alert texts

• Message number: 419

• Message text: SAP Update Task V1: Percentage load for update task work process

What causes this issue?

This value is, along with the average response time in the dispatcher
queue (<ZH>R3UpdateQueueTime</>), a measure of the update system load.
Too high a load can be a sign of too few update work processes. You
should, however, note that too many processes per instance wastes main
memory and means that the system can slow down due to operating system
paging. In that case, increasing the number of update servers would be
appropriate. You should also take account of SAP Note 39412 (How many
work processes to configure)

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