How To Fix SRM_LOCK_PROFILE003 - Minimum rdisp/max_wprun_time = &1 Seconds

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: SRM_LOCK_PROFILE -

• Message number: 003

• Message text: Minimum rdisp/max_wprun_time = &1 Seconds

What causes this issue?

Queue groups are processed within a dialog work process, whose minimum
time-out parameter is set to the specified value. The time-out parameter
is set at the SAP instance level. The minimum value in a server group
therefore has a limiting effect. If the queue group is too large,
processing will be terminated by time-out. In extreme cases, this can
lead to inconsistencies. You should therefore ensure that your queue
groups are not too large.
Equally, attempting to send a large number of e-mails can lead to
time-out. Be aware of this when defining your Customizing settings for
sending e-mails. As a rule, e-mails should only be sent when a
particularly severe error has arisen, for example when a large number of
calls have failed.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SRM_LOCK_PROFILE003 - Minimum rdisp/max_wprun_time = &1 Seconds ?

  The SAP error message SRM_LOCK_PROFILE003, which states "Minimum rdisp/max_wprun_time = &1 Seconds," typically indicates that the maximum runtime for a work process in the SAP system has been exceeded. This can happen in various scenarios, particularly when a long-running transaction or background job is taking more time than the configured limit.
  Cause:
  
  Long-Running Processes: The most common cause is that a particular transaction or background job is taking longer to execute than the configured maximum runtime for the work process.
  System Performance Issues: High system load, resource contention, or inefficient code can lead to longer execution times.
  Configuration Settings: The parameter rdisp/max_wprun_time is set too low for the type of processes being executed.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Increase the Parameter Value:
  
  You can increase the value of the rdisp/max_wprun_time parameter in the SAP system profile. This parameter defines the maximum time (in seconds) that a work process is allowed to run before it is terminated.
  To change this parameter:
  
  Go to transaction RZ10 (Profile Maintenance).
  Select the appropriate instance profile.
  Add or modify the parameter rdisp/max_wprun_time to a higher value (e.g., 600 seconds or more, depending on your needs).
  Save the changes and restart the instance for the changes to take effect.
  
  
  
  
  
  Optimize Long-Running Transactions:
  
  Analyze the long-running transactions or background jobs to identify any inefficiencies in the code or database queries.
  Consider optimizing the SQL queries, improving the logic, or breaking down large transactions into smaller, more manageable ones.
  
  
  
  Monitor System Performance:
  
  Use transaction ST03N or ST04 to monitor system performance and identify bottlenecks.
  Check for any locks or waits that might be causing delays.
  
  
  
  Review System Resources:
  
  Ensure that the system has adequate resources (CPU, memory, I/O) to handle the workload.
  Consider scaling up the hardware or optimizing the system configuration if necessary.
