• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RT826 - Performance attribute CPU: context switches ?

  The SAP error message RT826, which refers to "Performance attribute CPU: context switches," indicates that there is a high number of context switches occurring in the SAP system. Context switches are the process of storing and restoring the state (context) of a CPU so that multiple processes can share a single CPU resource. A high number of context switches can lead to performance degradation, as it indicates that the system is spending a significant amount of time switching between processes rather than executing them.
  Causes:
  
  High Load on the System: A large number of users or processes running simultaneously can lead to increased context switching.
  Inefficient Code: Poorly optimized ABAP code or inefficient background jobs can lead to excessive context switching.
  Insufficient Hardware Resources: Limited CPU or memory resources can cause the operating system to frequently switch contexts to manage the load.
  
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration of the SAP system or the underlying operating system
