• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RT498 - CCMS monitoring of files: File size ?

  The SAP error message RT498 typically relates to the CCMS (Computing Center Management System) monitoring of files, specifically indicating an issue with file size monitoring. This error can occur when the size of a monitored file exceeds the defined thresholds or limits set in the CCMS configuration.
  Cause:
  
  File Size Exceeded: The primary cause of this error is that the size of the file being monitored has exceeded the predefined threshold set in the CCMS configuration.
  Configuration Issues: There may be incorrect or outdated configuration settings in the CCMS monitoring setup.
  File Growth: Rapid growth of log files or data files due to application activity can lead to this error.
  Disk Space Issues: If the file is on a disk that is running out of space, it may trigger alerts related to file size.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check File Size: Verify the actual size of the file that is being monitored. If it has indeed exceeded the threshold, consider whether this is expected behavior.
  Adjust Thresholds: If the file size is expected to grow, you may need to adjust the thresholds in the CCMS configuration to accommodate larger file sizes.
