Free memory after Function call

Hi,
Is there a possibility to free the memory after a call to a function.
The call is only used for display, not to get data.
(For example - CALL FUNCTION 'FKK_BUPA_DISPLAY')
Our z-transaction delivers a way of navigating through different ISU objects (coming from an ALV list)
The user first selects a case from this list and then he receives the details. From the details screen we then call these standard function to display the ISU objects.
During the day memory usage is getting build up and it's only released when the user leaves our z-transaction.
Ideally the memory should be released when the user returns to the list and not at the end of the day when he leaves the transaction.
I've tried with FREE MEMORY but this doesn't help.
Greetings,
Ivo

Hi Ivo,
sounds like a "enldess transaction" pattern.
Take multiple memory snapshots (OK-CODE /HMUSA) in your application and compare
these in transaction S_MEMORY_INSPECTOR in order to find out if there is a memory
leak. The comparison will show you where memory growth comes from... maybe this gives
you an idea what could be deleted between the steps of your endless transaction.
Kind regards,
Hermann

Free memory after using GetRS232ErrorString() to avoid memory leak?

Hello,
Is it necessary to free memory after using function GetRS232ErrorString() to avoid memory leak?
Example 1:
int main();
char *strError=NULL;
strError = GetRS232ErrorString(55); /* just an example for error message */
free(strError ); /* Do I need to free this pointer? */
Example 2:
int main();
MessagePopup ("Error", GetRS232ErrorString(55)); ; /* Will I get a memory leak with this function call? */
BR
Frank

It's a pity that the documentation is indeed so poor in this case, but testing shows that it always returns the same pointer, no matter the error code, so it seems to be using an internal buffer and you are not supposed to free the string (but need to copy it before the next call to GetRS232ErrorString if you need to keep the text). It does however return a different pointer for every thread, so atl least it seems to be thread safe.

Free memory after TDMS logging

Hi, how can I free memory after reading TDMS files. I haev a very big TDMS file that contains 17000000 digital samples, after reading the data and graphing it I would like to delete it from memory because it is no longer needed. I have noticed I should close LabVIEW to free that space. Is there any way to free that memory after reading and plotting?
Thanks

LabVIEW wil take care of the memory management. Thus, there is no explicit way for you to free memory in LabVIEW. In fact, I don't think you should do that by yourself. LabVIEW has quite good memory optimation strategy and it wll track all the memory usage in your VI and reuse/free memory when there is no reference to it. As for TDMS, once the data is read out from the TDMS VIs, there will be no additional data copy inside.

IOS 5: iPod Touch 4g says no Free memory After Sync

My iPod 4g, iOS 5, 8GB says After Sync no Free memory. Before the Sync there was 1gb Free Memory.... Even if i Delete Apps, the iPod says 0 Byte Free memory...

It was in the category "Other". Now i Have done a Hard reset(i think): i have pressed the Lock Button 5sec, then Lock and home Button 10 sec together. Then it Took a few minutes. In this minutes there was the Apple Logo , Like when the iPod Starts up. After that, everything was okay and i had again 1gb Free memory :)

Replication agent doesn´t free memory after expensive operation

Our environment is made up of master node and 17 subscriber.
We have issued a delete action implying 1000000 rows. During the deletion, normal CPU, memory and swap usage was observed. Later, CPU usage has recovered while memory and swap has not. The most memory consumming process was timestenrep with 9Gb.
Deletion has been correctly replicated to all nodes. However, the replication agent needed to be restarted manually in order to recover memory/swap.
Why the replication agent did not recover on its own and free memory?

In a replicated environment, executing very large transactions (such as deleting 1M rows in a single transaction) is a very hazardous thing to do and is something you should avoid at all costs. It can cause a number of serious problems. Transactions should be limited to no more than a few thousand operations. If you need to empty a table, use TRUNCATE instead. This will execute far more quickly, generate less log and will not cause problems for replication. If you cannot use TRUNCATE then you should break the DELETE up into multiple smaller transactions. For example if you wish to delete all row where 'startdate' is less than some value and this is likely to result in a large number of deletions then you could repeatedly execute the following sequence:
DELETE FIRST 1000 FROM sometable WHERE startdate < :someval;
COMMIT;
and just keep doing this until the 'rows affected' value is zero.
The same applies to large inserts and updates.
The memory usage behaviour of the replication daemon, while perhaps not ideal, is correct and as expected. When you delete 1M rows in a single transaction the replication daemon has to allocate memory (via malloc) for 17x copies (in your case) of the transaction data. That is probably a lot of memory. Once the transaction has been replicated to all 17 subscribers. This memory is moved to an internal 'free' list for re-use but is not returned to the O/S until the replication agent is terminated. Since it such a bad idea to execute these large transactions this behaviour is generally not a problem.

Suppressing status bar message after function call?

Hi,
I'm calling a few functions in a program.
After calling them, for example function "L_TO_CREATE_DN", I get a message in the status bar, in this case saying that a TO has been created successfully.
How can I suppress all status bar messages for all the functions that are being called in the program?
THX!

Modification in data before commit and after function call

Hi,
I am creating a Transfer order (TO) from Transfer requirement using function module L_TO_CREATE_TR.
For one of my requirement I am
Passing I_UPDATE_TASK = X and I_COMMIT_WORK = <blank> so that the actual creation happens on the next screen. Next screen will show some details which can only be fetched if L_TO_CREATE_TR is issued.
Now, on second screen user may change one field called quanity. How can i acheive this.
I can think of two options here :
1) Call rollback and then call the FM again this time with commin flag ON
2) Do we have second option here.
Let there be a light

thanks . i have an idea.
first ,create a row ,and then insert this row.

IPad 2 fills up its 4GBs Free Memory After Switching On

Hi Forum
odd one. My Ipad2 is always full. except when i turn it off, and on, it reveals 4.2GBs free. This then, while its on and left on for days , seems ot fill up, and when i come to add something to it, or use it, its full. That free 4.2Gbs has been filled. i havent used it, addded to it, downloaded to it, uploaded to theicloudaccojt connected to it...?!?!?!
why does it fill up?
and nothing in 'usage' shows anything too large either?!?!?!

Does the 4.2GB free space you refer to come from Settings>General>About>Available?

With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

HP Laserjet p1102w - after firmware upgrade / Smart Install update - down to 1MB free memory

Hello,
I have a Laserjet p1102w running off a laptop with Windows 7 64-bit. Just bought the printer this month.
After updating the firmware to 20120814 version and updating the SmartInstall update utility for the 20120814 version as well, I am now down to 1 MB free memory (out of 8MB originally). [Another LJ p1102w updated prior to these updates has 3MB free memory.]
Because I have 1MB free memory, the printer is almost a brick. It can print simple text based pages - however, printing any page with a graphic or a PDF file will cause the printer to take forever to receive data - essentially preventing printing a page on my new printer (while printing the same page instantaneously on my older nonupdated p1102w).
Is there any way to fix this problem, given there is no memory upgrade option? Otherwise, this printer is a brick.
Thank you in advance for a reply - especially from HP.

Hi cyskim,
Did you tried turning the printer off and on after updating the firmware? This should clear its memory, including any memory may affected during the firmware upgrade proccess .
Say thanks by clicking the Kudos thumb up in the post.

After a function call values in the system sy-msgty.........

After a function call values in the system sy-msgty,sy-msgit and sy-msgno are getting empty. And the program dumped suddenly with showing a message_type_unknown message.
Here i wanted to know y these values are becoming empty
Pls help me out here

The first Idoc has two line items and the second idoc has 7 line items. As the split is per 5 line item- the target has 3 Idocs.
Now the problem is that the header value in the target: REF_DOC_NO has to be created as per the number of line items and doesnt come from header record directly.

I found several charges on my bank account from Apple on App that is completely free. After calling the number showing on my bank statement there an automated answering that tells you to go to apple website!!! There is nobody to talk to!! Complete rip OFF
And now because I want to communicate with apple support I have to go through the hectic website and community support, this is ridiculous.
I have 5 iPhones in my account and this makes me reconsider upgrading to iPhones again.
Why Apple put a phone number in the bank transaction, if there is nobody to talk to!!!!!!
I hope someone from Apple support can answer my question.

Go to getsupport.apple.com. Or, call 1-800-MYAPPLE.
Just because an app is free to download doesn't mean that there aren't in-app purchases available.
Go to iTunes on your computer, log into the iTunes Store with your Apple ID & password, and check your purchase history. Be advised that all iTunes & App Store purchases are final.

Sony Xperia E C1504 - Low Phone memory - only 54 MB free Memory on phone after update

I am using Sony Xperia E c1504 phone and facing memory problem. The downloaded applications are already moved to SD card and some of the inbuilt applications on phone are also moved on SD Card. Now there is no application which I can move on SD card by the simple way given in phone. Also I regularly cleans the cache by cleaner. All my photos are saved to SD card, no videos are taken so no problem of video memory. I have moved every possible element on SD card.
In this condition when I downloaded the new update of phone, it installed some more new applications like Google books, google movies, google games, google magazines etc. on my phone which have no option to move to SD Card. So my phone memory is very low. I uninstalled one inbuilt application Cricbuzz but still my phone is showing only 54 MB free phone memory. Now I can't update some applications due to low space on phone though I have 1.79 GB on internal storage free and 14.73 GB on SD card free memory.
Now how to manage these applications? Is there any way so that I can move some more inbuilt applications to SD card?
And what is rooting? please explain. Can I move applications on phone to SD card by rooting? If yes how?
Is there any other way to solve this problem?
I am new to android technology. Please help.

Excel remains in memory after using by DOI.

Hi.
I'm trying to use DOI but
Excel instance remains in memory after I have run macro and leave program. If I don't run any macro - everything is Ok.
I run macro by this way:
    CALL METHOD document->execute_macro
      EXPORTING
        macro_string = 'MyMacro'
        param_count = 0
      IMPORTING
        error      = error.
Before leaving the program I release DOI objects as in demo
    IF NOT documentproxy IS INITIAL.
      CALL METHOD documentproxy->close_document.
      CALL METHOD c_oi_errors=>show_message
        EXPORTING
          type = 'E'.
      FREE documentproxy.
    ENDIF.
    IF NOT olecontrol IS INITIAL.
      CALL METHOD olecontrol->destroy_control.
      FREE olecontrol.
    ENDIF.
Thanks for your help.
Mike Menkov.

Hello, long time no see,
but anyway, executing a macro prevents excel then to be closed over ole, as i've tried many ways to get it done, here is a work-around.
it's frustating that I cannot use excel as Inplace there, because users could then easily USE or even UPLOAD their own excel-spreadsheets over the custom control with the use of ALV-Grid firstly, wich is really nice. Because of this 'bug', (i think it definitely is one, but don't know on wich side, MS or SAP) excel-spreadsheet functionality over ALV-Grid imho simply cannot be used fine with spreadsheets containing 'bigger' macros which where executed over ole - in eo_start_macro.
For closing this issue, I just wanted to add how I could 'overcome' the sympthoms of this still remaining temp-files (+excel holding them open) when using excel + ole automation over SAPGUI:
You could just NOT use excel "Inplace" on a custom control of a dynpro, but outside SAP, still OLE-driven.
Start it in foreground guarantees you can close the temp-file with or without saving at a time and not surprisingly at the end on shutdown, because the controls of excel (and excel as a whole) are visible anytime - ole automation works also fine this way.
This is the order of preparing excel and setting data into it i've done it, therefore i've created a single include for all the excel-ole stuff:
(complete source could be looked up at http://pastebin.com/zmr6xdZm)
1.eo_get_templ_uri
2.eo_build_spreadsheet_interface - goes ahead with parameter inplace_enabled = SPACE
3.eo_build_named_area
4.eo_set_data_into_sheet
5.eo_start_macro
after the data is sent to excel (+ the macro on the spreadsheet has done it's job), excel is holding the filled temp file (spreadsheet) in foreground, so users can directly close it with- or without saving.
*** using inplace_enabled = SPACE here, on Initializing the control
CALL METHOD cl_control->init_control
   EXPORTING
     inplace_enabled          = ' '
     no_flush                 = 'X'
     INPLACE_SHOW_TOOLBARS    = insert_toolbar
     r3_application_name      = sy-cprog
     parent                   = cl_container
   IMPORTING
     error                    = error
   EXCEPTIONS
*          javabeannotsupported     = 1 " ex. nicht im Minisap
     OTHERS                   = 2.
*** and on Load document from BOR
     CALL METHOD cl_document->open_document
     EXPORTING
       "startup_macro    = 'DieseArbeitsmappe.start' "funkt nicht
       document_title = sy-cprog
       document_url   = doc_url
       no_flush       = 'X'
       open_inplace   = ' '
     IMPORTING
       retcode          = soiret
       error          = error.
     APPEND error TO t_errors.
   ENDIF.

Let me know exact purpose of Free memory statement...

What happens when we write the statement like below:
Free memory id ZBTS_BAPIRET2'.
Kindly let me know exact purpose of that.!
Akshitha.

Hi,
Just Type FREE in the programe and press F! on that ,, no need to post ok all the best
FREE - Resets a data object to its original value and releases the resources
it occupied.
Basic form    FREE f.
Effect        FREE f has the same effect as CLEAR f, namely that a Data
              object f is reset to the initial value corresponding to its
              type.
              Unlike CLEAR, FREE also releases any resources taken up by the
              data object f. This can be important with internal tables ,
              structures containing tables, and table work areas (created
              using TABLES).
              After FREE f, the data object f can be re-addressed at any
              time. The only condition is that you may need to re-allocate
              resources to the object.
Note          If f is an internal table with header line (where the name f
              in a sense has two meanings) the statement FREE f refers to
              the body of the table, and the statement CLEAR f refers to the
              header line.
Note          Performance:
              The runtime required to reset an internal table and free its
              resources depends how much memory the internal table has been
              occupying.
              To reset a small internal table takes around 80 msn (standard
              microseconds), a 200 KB table takes around 700 msn, and a 1 MB
              table around 3500 msn.
              If the table has an index or hash table (because it was created using INSERT, DELETE or SORT, or edited using
              COLLECT), the runtime increases, since the index or hash table
              also need to be released.
FREE - Releasing an Area of ABAP Memory
Basic form    FREE MEMORY.
               Addition:
               ... ID key
               In an ABAP Objects context, a more severe syntax check is
               performed that in other ABAP areas. See ID must be specified.
Effect        This statement releases an area of ABAP Memory previously
               created with an EXPORT TO MEMORY statement. After this, an
               IMPORT ... FROM MEMORY statement would return the return code
               4.
Notes         - FREE MEMORY deletes the entire ABAP-Memory, that is, all of
                  the data exported using EXPORT TO MEMORY.
               - Please consult Data Area and Modularization Unit
                  Organization documentation as well.
Addition      ... ID key
Effect        Only the ABAP-Memory with ID key is released.

Effect        Releases the memory needed for object obj. The object cannot
               be processed afterwards.

                              in Windows.
Addition      ...NO FLUSH
Effect        Collects all of the FREE OBJECT calls on the application
               server before sending explicitly to the SAPgui in a single
               operation by calling the function module FLUSH.
     FREE OBJECT belongs to a group of key words that allows you to process
external objects with ABAP/4. At present, only the object model OLE2 is
supported, i.e. all objects must be of type OLE2_OBJECT. This type and other
necessary data are defined in the include program OLE2INCL.
Example       Release an EXCEL object:
               INCLUDE OLE2INCL.
             DATA EXCEL TYPE OLE2_OBJECT.
