• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_DISPRO118 - Resource failure when calling &1, task &2 ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_DISPRO118 Resource failure when calling &1, task &2
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error indicates that there was a resource failure when the system tried to execute a particular task or call a function module/program (represented by &1) in the workflow runtime environment. The &2 parameter refers to the specific task number or step in the workflow where the failure occurred.
  Common causes include:
  
  Insufficient system resources (memory, work processes, etc.) to execute the task.
  The called function module or program (&1) is not available, incorrectly implemented, or has runtime errors.
  Authorization issues preventing the execution of the task.
  Communication or connection problems if the task involves remote calls or RFCs.
  System overload or temporary unavailability of required services.
  Incorrect or missing configuration related to the workflow or the called object.
  
  
  Typical Scenario:
  
  The workflow engine tries to execute a task (e.g., a method, function module, or external program).
  The call fails due to resource constraints or other runtime issues.
  The workflow logs the error with message WRF_DISPRO118, indicating the failure and the task number.
  
  
  How to Analyze / Troubleshoot:
  
  
  Check the Workflow Log:
  
  Use transaction SWI1 or SWI2_FREQ to find the workflow instance and task.
  Look for detailed error messages or dumps related to the task.
  
  
  
  Check the Called Object (&1):
  
  Identify the function module, method, or program that failed.
  Test it independently (e.g., via SE37 for function modules).
  Check for runtime errors or missing implementations.
  
  
  
  Check System Resources:
  
  Monitor system memory, work processes, and CPU load.
  Use transactions like ST02, ST06, SM50, SM66 to check system health.
  If resources are low, consider increasing memory/work processes or optimizing workload.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Verify that the user executing the workflow has the necessary authorizations.
  Use transaction SU53 after the error occurs to check authorization failures.
  
  
  
  Check RFC Destinations (if applicable):
  
  If the task involves remote calls, verify RFC destinations in SM59.
  Test the connection and check for network issues.
  
  
  
  Check for System Dumps:
  
  Use transaction ST22 to look for short dumps related to the task or function module.
  
  
  
  Review Workflow Configuration:
  
  Check if the workflow task is correctly configured.
  Verify that the container elements and binding are correct.
  
  
  
  
  Possible Solutions:
  
  Fix the underlying error in the called function/module/program.
  Increase system resources if the failure is due to resource constraints.
  Correct authorizations for the user running the workflow.
  Repair or reconfigure RFC destinations if remote calls fail.
  Apply SAP Notes if the error is caused by known bugs.
  Restart workflow runtime or system if the issue is transient.
  Optimize workflow design to reduce resource consumption.
