Collective error processing

SAP R/3 handles RFC errors by starting a background process that restarts the RFC until it is processed successfully. If the connection with the receiving system is broken, this process can run indefinitely. This scheme can result in a large number of background processes running in the sending system that will degrade overall performance. To minimize these effects in a production environment, use collective error processing. With collective error processing, the failed RFC will not be resubmitted immediately. Instead, a periodically scheduled background job will collect failed RFCs and restart them as a packet. This technique is applicable for SAP R/3 and TCP/IP connections.
