  The SAP error message /SDF/SMON022 Frequency must be lower than parameter rdisp/max_wprun_time typically occurs in the context of SAP's background job scheduling or monitoring, particularly when dealing with the SAP Solution Manager or other related components. This error indicates that the frequency of a scheduled job or task is set to a value that exceeds the maximum allowed runtime for a work process, as defined by the parameter rdisp/max_wprun_time.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Issue: The frequency of the job or task is set too high, meaning it attempts to run more often than the maximum allowed runtime for a work process.
  Parameter Settings: The system parameter rdisp/max_wprun_time is set to a value that is lower than the frequency of the job. This parameter defines the maximum time a work process can run before it is terminated.

  Finding the parameter rdisp/max_wprun_time and increasing its value.
  Saving the changes and restarting the instance for the changes to take effect.
