3716051 - Runtime limit restriction in SAP Business ByDesign

Symptom

  • The runtime limit for processes in SAP Business ByDesign is restricted to a maximum of 10 hours.
  • Attempts to increase the runtime limit to 12 hours are unsuccessful due to system-level restrictions.
  • Processes running for approximately 9–11 hours are unable to complete due to the runtime limit.

Environment

  • SAP Business ByDesign Studio Lifecycle Management.

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Execute a process in SAP Business ByDesign that requires runtime exceeding 10 hours.
  2. Observe that the process fails to complete due to the system-level runtime restriction of 10 hours.

Cause

The maximum runtime limit is a system-level restriction inherent to the current SAP Business ByDesign configuration. This limitation cannot be modified to accommodate runtime exceeding 10 hours.

Resolution

    1. Confirm that the runtime limit is a system-level restriction and cannot be modified to accommodate a 12-hour runtime.
    2. Optimize the process to reduce runtime and ensure compliance with the 10-hour limit.
    3. Alternatively, split the workload into smaller batches to allow each execution to complete within the permitted timeframe.
    4. Refer to relevant resources for guidance on improving performance:
