• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message S_LMCFG_OSS_TASKS013 - BEST-Option for highest TLS protocol version enabled, >&1<>&2< ?

  The SAP error message S_LMCFG_OSS_TASKS013 typically relates to issues with the configuration of the SAP system's connection to the SAP Support Portal or the SAP Service Marketplace. This error can occur when there are problems with the TLS (Transport Layer Security) settings, particularly if the highest TLS protocol version is not enabled or properly configured.
  Cause:
  
  TLS Version Mismatch: The error often arises when the SAP system is trying to connect to an external service (like SAP Support) that requires a higher version of TLS (e.g., TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3), but the SAP system is configured to use an older version (e.g., TLS 1.0 or TLS 1.1).
  Configuration Issues: There may be misconfigurations in the SAP system's network settings or in the operating system's security settings that prevent the use of the required TLS version.
  Outdated SAP Kernel: An outdated SAP kernel may not support the latest TLS protocols.
  
  Solution:
  
  Update SAP Kernel: Ensure that your SAP system is running on a version of the kernel that supports the required TLS version. You may need to upgrade to a more recent kernel version.
  Enable TLS 1.2 or Higher:
  
  Check the SAP system's configuration to ensure that TLS 1.2 or higher is enabled. This can typically be done in the SAP NetWeaver Administrator (NWA) or through the SAP GUI.
  You may need to modify the SECURITY parameters in the instance profile or default profile to enable the desired TLS version.
  
  
  Operating System Configuration: Ensure that the operating system on which the SAP system is running supports the required TLS version. This may involve updating system libraries or configurations.
  SAP Note: Check for relevant SAP Notes that may provide specific instructions or patches related to this error. SAP Notes often contain important information about known issues and their resolutions.
  Testing: After making changes, test the connection to the SAP Support Portal or the relevant external service to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for your specific version of SAP for detailed instructions on configuring TLS settings.
  SAP Community: The SAP Community forums can be a valuable resource for finding similar issues and solutions shared by other SAP users.
