Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SMB/BB_BUILDER246 - Parameter rdisp/max_wprun_time should be set to &1 ?

  The SAP error message /SMB/BB_BUILDER246 indicates that the parameter rdisp/max_wprun_time is set too low for the current workload or processing requirements. This parameter controls the maximum runtime for a work process in seconds. If a work process exceeds this time limit, it will be terminated, which can lead to incomplete processing or errors in your application.
  Cause:
  
  Long-Running Processes: The job or transaction you are trying to execute is taking longer than the allowed time set by the rdisp/max_wprun_time parameter.
  Insufficient Parameter Setting: The default value for this parameter may not be sufficient for the complexity or volume of the data being processed.
  System Performance Issues: If the system is under heavy load or if there are performance bottlenecks, processes may take longer than expected.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Increase the Parameter Value:
  
  You can increase the value of rdisp/max_wprun_time to allow longer processing times. This can be done in the SAP system profile parameters.
  To change the parameter:
  
  Go to transaction RZ10 (Profile Maintenance).
  Select the appropriate profile (usually the instance profile).
  Add or modify the parameter rdisp/max_wprun_time and set it to a higher value (e.g., 600 seconds or more, depending on your needs).
  Save the changes and restart the SAP instance for the changes to take effect.
  
  
  
  
  
  Monitor and Optimize Processes:
  
  Analyze the specific job or transaction that is causing the timeout. Look for ways to optimize the process, such as improving SQL queries, reducing data volume, or breaking down large jobs into smaller ones.
  
  
  
  Check System Performance:
  
  Monitor system performance to identify any bottlenecks that may be causing processes to run longer than expected. This can include checking CPU usage, memory usage, and database performance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional guidance or updates related to this parameter.
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal for detailed documentation on system parameters and performance tuning.
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like SM37 to monitor job statuses and ST22 to check for dumps that may provide insights into issues causing long runtimes.
  
  By addressing the parameter setting and optimizing the processes, you should be able to resolve the error and improve the performance of your SAP system.
