This error can occur in various scenarios, particularly during data processing or when trying to execute certain transactions that rely on background processing.
  Causes of TH010 Error
  
  
  Open Update Tasks: There may be pending update tasks that have not been processed. This can happen if there are long-running transactions or if the update process is blocked.
  
  
  Queued RFCs: Remote Function Calls that are queued and not processed can lead to this error. This might occur due to network issues, system performance problems, or if the target system is down.
  
  
  Extractor Queues: If you are using SAP Data Services or SAP BW, there may be issues with the data extraction process, leading to a backlog in the extractor queues.
