Hello,

Perhaps SAP Note 12930 - Operation mode switching does not work

may be helpful here?

Hi,

Is this behaviour happens all the time when try to switch or after any particular activity , say restart or something?

Have you checked the configuration in RZ04 and SM63 and ensured that they are consistent with each other? Could you try to re-configure your RZ04 and import your profiles once again there?

Hello Cherios,

The common reason for the above error is Start profile, instance profile or total no. of processes are different from

the original configuration. Sometime it may so happen that the op mode configuartion you have now may be obsolete.I mean to say there might have been increase in the total no of WPs but your current configuration is referring to earlier no of total WPs.

In that case you need to delete the op mode configuration in RZ03 and recreate with correct distribution of total no of WPs available. Also make sure the SM63 entry is consitent b/w two op modes.
