• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WB2R246 - Only specify percentage or number of work processes - not both ?

  The SAP error message WB2R246 indicates that there is a configuration issue in the work process settings for a particular SAP system. This error occurs when both a percentage and a fixed number of work processes are specified for a particular work process type in the system configuration, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  The error arises when the configuration for work processes in the SAP system is set incorrectly. Specifically, it happens when:
  
  You have defined both a percentage and a fixed number for the same work process type (e.g., dialog, background, update, etc.) in the instance profile or in the SAP system settings.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to adjust the configuration settings for the work processes. Here are the steps to do so:

  Check Work Process Settings:
  
  Ensure that for each work process type, you are specifying either a fixed number or a percentage, but not both.
  For example, if you have rdisp/wp_no_dia set to a fixed number (e.g., 5), do not set a percentage (e.g., rdisp/wp_no_dia_pct).
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, save the changes to the profile.
  
  
  
  Restart the Instance:
  
  You may need to restart the SAP instance for the changes to take effect.
