  The SAP error message SWF_CCMS180 indicates that messages for a specific process type (denoted by &1) were parked and not processed immediately. This typically occurs in the context of the SAP Workflow or CCMS (Computing Center Management System) monitoring.
  Cause:
  
  
  Message Parking: The messages are parked due to various reasons, such as:
  
  System overload or performance issues.
  Configuration settings that prevent immediate processing.
  Errors in the workflow or process that need to be resolved before the messages can be processed.
  Lack of resources (e.g., insufficient background processing capacity).
  
  
  
  Workflow Configuration: There may be issues with the workflow configuration that prevent messages from being processed as expected.
  
  
  System Settings: The system may be configured to park messages under certain conditions, such as during maintenance windows or when specific thresholds are reached.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check System Performance: Monitor the system performance to ensure that it is not overloaded. You can use transaction codes like ST03N (Workload Analysis) or ST22 (Dump Analysis) to identify performance bottlenecks.
  
  
  Review Workflow Configuration: Check the configuration of the workflow or process type associated with the parked messages. Ensure that all necessary steps and conditions are correctly defined.
  
  
  Process Parked Messages: You can manually process the parked messages. Use transaction SWI1 (Work Item Selection) to find and process the parked work items.
  
  
  Adjust System Settings: If the parking of messages is due to system settings, consider adjusting the relevant parameters in the system configuration. This may involve increasing the number of background processing jobs or changing the thresholds for message parking.
  
  
  Check for Errors: Look for any errors in the workflow logs or application logs (transaction SLG1) that might indicate why the messages were parked.
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error message or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  
  
  Related Information:
