hi bittu,

who said that you need 2 background workprocess you can run your system without any background workprocess, just go change the parameter from RZ10 and see that your system will run fine, till you execute or set a background job..

Is it an interview question?

Hi,

You need at least two background wp for each SAP system.

But, you can configure more than one background wp for each dispatcher.

Bkground jobs can be scheduled with differnet priorities

Class A (High), Class B (Medium)and Class C (normal)

Job classes B & C can only be started if the defined number of Background WP

remains free for possible Class A jobs.

Thanks

Ahamed
