Solution

There are two possibilities to solve the problem:

1. Increase the count of RFC connections. Sap note:314530

This can be realized by increasing the variable CPIC_MAX_CONV=??? (you could double the value). After changing this value you have to restart the SAP server!

If SAP is running on a different system as the Agent: be sure that the environment variable CPIC_MAX_CONV is also set on the Agent's machine.

2. If you are not sure that all 100 batch processes comes from the SAP agent you could verify the batch processes connected to the SAP system with the transaction smgw.

Use the "Resources" on agent side (Systemoverview -> Agent -> Properties). Here it is possible to limit the resources of this agent to e.g. 40.

Now limit every SAP job to one resource. So you could start 40 SAP Jobs. New SAP jobs will wait until new resources are available.

Additional Information

Start the application (in this case CA Automic SAP Agent) with the following parameter:

-Djco.cpic_maxconv=500

For example:

/usr/bin/java -jar -Xrs -Xms1024M -Djco.cpic_maxconv=500 /app/uc4/agents_v12/sap/bin/ucxjr3x.jar
