  The SAP error message S_LMCFG_OSS_TASKS014 indicates that the system is not configured to use the highest available TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocol version. This can lead to security vulnerabilities and issues with connectivity, especially when trying to connect to external services or systems that require secure communication.
  Cause
  The error typically arises due to one or more of the following reasons:
  
  TLS Configuration: The SAP system is configured to use an outdated version of TLS (like TLS 1.0 or 1.1), which is no longer considered secure.
  Operating System Settings: The underlying operating system may not have the latest TLS protocols enabled or supported.
  SAP Kernel Version: The version of the SAP kernel may not support the latest TLS protocols.
  Java or ABAP Stack: If you are using a Java stack, the Java version may not support the latest TLS versions.
  
  Solution
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Update SAP Kernel: Ensure that you are using a recent version of the SAP kernel that supports the latest TLS protocols. Check the SAP Support Portal for the latest kernel updates.
  
  
  Configure TLS Settings:
  
  For ABAP systems, you can configure the TLS settings in the SAP system profile. You may need to set the ssl/tls_version parameter to include the desired TLS versions (e.g., TLSv1.2).
  For Java systems, you may need to update the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) settings to enable the latest TLS versions.
  
  
  
  Operating System Configuration: Ensure that the operating system is updated and configured to support the latest TLS versions. This may involve updating libraries or system settings.
  
  
  Check SAP Notes: Look for relevant SAP Notes that address TLS configuration and security settings. SAP frequently releases notes that provide guidance on security best practices.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary changes, test the connection to ensure that the highest TLS protocol version is now enabled and functioning correctly.
