Dump SYSTEM_NO_SHM_MEMORY

Hello:
For the second time in the last several months have appeared dump with
the following message SYSTEM_NO_SHM_MEMORY.
Can anybody help me?
Regards.

Hi:
Texto breve
    No more memory for 1336 bytes in the shared objects memory.
¿Qué ha sucedido?
    The shared objects memory is full or an area management specified
    memory limit has be reached.
¿Qué puede hacer?
    Try to find out (e.g. by targetted data selection) whether the
    transaction will run with less main memory.
    If there is a temporary bottleneck, execute the transaction again.
    If the error persists, ask your system administrator to check the
    following profile parameters:
    o  ztta/roll_area            (1.000.000 - 15.000.000)
           Classic roll area per user and internal mode
           usual amount of roll area per user and internal mode
    o  ztta/roll_extension       (10.000.000 - 500.000.000)
           Amount of memory per user in extended memory (EM)
    o  abap/heap_area_total      (100.000.000 - 1.500.000.000)
           Amount of memory (malloc) for all users of an application
           server. If several background processes are running on
           one server, temporary bottlenecks may occur.
           Of course, the amount of memory (in bytes) must also be
           available on the machine (main memory or file system swap).
           Caution:
           The operating system must be set up so that there is also
           enough memory for each process. Usually, the maximum address
           space is too small.
           Ask your hardware manufacturer or your competence center
           about this.
           In this case, consult your hardware vendor
    abap/heap_area_dia:        (10.000.000 - 1.000.000.000)
           Restriction of memory allocated to the heap with malloc
           for each dialog process.
    Parameters for background processes:
abap/heap_area_nondia:        (10.000.000 - 1.000.000.000)
       Restriction of memory allocated to the heap with malloc
       for each background process.
Other memory-relevant parameters are:
em/initial_size_MB:         (35-1200)
       Extended memory area from which all users of an
       application server can satisfy their memory requirement.
Please make a note of the actions and input which caused the error.
To resolve the problem, contact your
SAP system administrator.
Select the "Print" function to obtain a hardcopy of the
current termination message.
Anál.errores
    One of the following three situations has occurred:
    1. In the shared objects memory there is not enough free memory
       available for the storage of further data.
    2. The maximum size specified in the area management for a version of
       this area would be exceeded by the storage of further data.
    3. The maximum size specified in the area management for all versions of
       all instances of this area would be exceeded by the storage of
       further data.
    The data object was to be created in the following area instance:
    "AREA=CL_SWF_CNT_FACTORY_SHMEM_AREAINST=CONTAINER_FACTORYCLNT=111"

  • ITS, New user session denied due to memory bottleneck

    Dear Friends,
    We were facing the following issues
    1) when we access Shopping cart functionality (using Internal ITS)
    through web and it is given error
    500 SAP Internal Server Error (Error: New session was refused due to
    memory bottleneck). For every error in web, we could find the entry
    in SM21 as mentioned below,

    2) ST22 Dumps: SYSTEM_NO_SHM_MEMORY
    We have followed SAP note #Note 1232973 - SYSTEM_NO_SHM_MEMORY short
    dump and increased the parameter abap/shared_objects_size_MB from 320
    to 640.After that we have not any SYSTEM_NO_SHM_MEMORY error and we
    monitored in SHMM transaction about the free memory and
    available. Before this change, we used to clean manually the ICF shared
    memory when it got accumulated with high value. This implies that the
    problem regarding SYSTEM_NO_SHM_MEMORY is solved.
    But still we were facing issues mentioned in point no 1). When we have
    more than 100 sessions. This is occurring more from 8:00 CET to 12:00 CET
    (peak load)
    Later we changed the value of abap/shared_objects_size_MB from 640 to
    1664 and also we reduced em/initial_size_MB from 12Gb to 11Gb (since we
    are not using full amount of em initial size).
    ****Important *****
    after this change we are facing more often related to point no 1).
    Moreover, We could find the following in the trace file of W0 as,
    Trace file of W0 is showing,
    Tue Apr 14 12:38:42 2009

    Since the parameter itsp/max_eg_mem_percent was set to 80.
    It is not clear that from which memory layout the eror is occuring.
    According to note :Note 785365 - Extended Global Memory (EG) increased
    from 2 GB to 8 GB
    we could see that The size of the EG is obtained from the total of the
    parameter values em/global_area_MB and abap/shared_objects_size_MB
    We would like you check the system and update us about the memory
    layout defined in our system, more specically em/global_area_MB (we are
    planning to increase the value according to note SAP Note 742048) from
    896 (current) to 1200 (10 % of em/initial_size_MB) and reduce the
    abap/shared_objects_size_MB from 1664 to 640 .
    Any help will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Venkat

    to 1)
    You can monitor the ITS memory usage in transaction SITSPMON, but you are on the right track with increasing em/global_area_MB.
    If you see its sessions lasting for a long time, then you might need to adapt the session timeout to save memory (TIMEOUT of your icm server port). Have a look at note [885580 - Integrated ITS: Configuration Parameters|https://service.sap.com/sap/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=885580] for details.

  • CX_SHM_OUT_OF_MEMORY dump error in Solution Manager 7.1

    Hello all,
    We are facing an error while executing background jobs and few other operations.When i noticed in ST22, the no of dump errors are very high.
    All the dump errors are relating to SYSTEM_NO_SHM_MEMORY
    I went through SAP Note 1232973 and applied the 2nd option i.e increased the parameter "abap/shared_objects_size_MB" to 300.
    But no luck,the dump error keeps appearing.
    Also i added a profile parameter ztta/roll_first =1, then also it keep appearing.
    OS Version is AIX 5.3 64 bit
    The info from ST22 is,
    An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
    The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SHM_OUT_OF_MEMORY', was not
    caught and
    therefore caused a runtime error.
    The reason for the exception is:
    One of the following three possibilities has occurred:
    1. There is not enough free memory available in the shared object memory
       to store further data.
    2. The maximum size for a version of this area specified in the area
       administration will be exceeded in this version if more data is
       stored.
    3. The maximum size for all versions of all instances of this area
       specified in the area administration will be exceeded if more data
       is stored.
    The data object was to be stored in the following area instance:
    "\AREA=CL_LMDB_MODEL_SHM_AREA\INST=LDB:0000000001\CLNT=\USER=0\EMOD=256".
    Size of (to be created) Version .. 0
    Maximum Size of Version .......... "<no or unknown bound>"
    Shared Objects Memory in Total:
        Amount Used ......................... 35738256
        Amount Allocated..................... 78663680
        Free Memory ......................... 0
    The size of the Shared Objects Memory is specified by the profil
    parameter abap/shared_objects_size_MB.
    Note: Generally, termination does not take place as soon as a memory
    limit is exceeded. It happens later, at a later ABAP statement, which
    may have nothing to do with Shared Objects.
    Kindly suggest.
    Thank You,
    Regards,
    Hasan

    Hi,
    It looks like value of parameter abap/shared_objects_size_MB is still very less. Please increase value of this parameter to some higher value and then check.
    Thanks

  • ST22 Dumps: Shared Objects

    Hi SDN,
    in our SRM System, SRM Server 5.5, WAS700 ABAP, we get ST22 Short Dumps concerning "shared objects".
    This is the Dump Short Analysis:
    Runtime Errors         SYSTEM_NO_SHM_MEMORY                                    
    Date and Time          19.08.2008 12:20:50

         No more memory for 2516576 bytes in the shared objects memory.                                                                               
    What happened?                                                                
         The shared objects memory is full or an area management specified         
         memory limit has be reached.                                              
    In heard, that "shared objects" is part of the new WAS 620, 640, 2004s, 700 ... releases
    What are exactly these shared objects. And how can we avoid the dumps?
    We have an instance profile parameter set:
    abap/shared_objects_size_MB                 100
    Apparently this is not enough... Are there any recommendations?
    thanx, matthias

    Take a look at [Note 972757 - Occurence of the SYSTEM_NO_SHM_MEMORY runtime error|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/972757] for further information. You should investigate what is using the shared objects memory, it may be an error in a application. The note will help to determine this.

  • Lock ups and dumping psyical memory!!!

    Hi i have just installed a new pc most of the stuff im useing is from my old computer so i know they work fine im running a:
    P4 3GHZ Prescot 800MHz, HT-Enabled
    865PE Neo2-P
    512 DDR-400 Twin moss
    ATI Radeon 9000 pro
    PSU-400
    XP Pro
    My computer locks up alot when running intense games (games have worked before no problem) i also get a error saying dumping pysical memory, i have looked about and tried to solve this myself, i found that someone was haveing the exact same problem as me and he fixed it by turning the FSB down as his memory wasnt compatable with his motherboard if doing that works how do i do it ?
    Many thanks Jonathan

    Flappa, Your memory " clock" is fine and there is no need to "underclock it" as long as you did not mess with the Bios.
    I had the same problems. I could not even get thru a Clean install of windows as it would Blue Screen
    1- are you running in " Dual Channel Mode"?
    2- If so is your memory a " match Set"?
    some times memory even thought it has the same markings is not matched . Dual channel sets are matched and made to run together in "Dual Channel Mode"{
    ( Even though I had the same manufacturer memory my set would not run in Dual Channel without " Blue Screening" I bought a Matched Set of Kingston Valueram and have not had a problem since
    3- If it is not a matched set, pull one stick out and run it for a while , if it still bluescreens try the other stick
    4- raise your memory voltage to 2.7 or 2.8 ( which ever is the lowest that it runs stable)
    5- If all this does not work , run MEMTEST to see if there is a problem with both sticks
    6- you are running a Bios Version that supports the " Prescott Microcode" right?
    Let us know what your findings are
    Good Luck

  • Report J_1IEWT_CERT getting cancelled, generating ABAP dump!

    A long running report J_1IEWT_CERT in background mode is getting cancelled after running for a while and generating the following dump :
    Error analysis
        When changing or deleting one or more lines of the internal table
        "\PROGRAM=J_1IEWT_CERT\DATA=PRINTTAB[]" or when inserting in the table
         "\PROGRAM=J_1IEWT_CERT\DATA=PRINTTAB[]", 0 was used as
        the line index. An index less than or equal to zero is not
        allowed.
        The error can occur when using the following options:
        1. "INDEX idx" for specifying the line number in the table
         "\PROGRAM=J_1IEWT_CERT\DATA=PRINTTAB[]"
           where you want to change, insert or delete.
        2. "FROM idx" for specifying the start index when deleting a line
           area from or inserting a line area into the table
         "\PROGRAM=J_1IEWT_CERT\DATA=PRINTTAB[]".
        3. "TO idx" for specifying the end index when deleting a line
           area from or inserting a line area into the table
         "\PROGRAM=J_1IEWT_CERT\DATA=PRINTTAB[]".
        At the time of the termination, the table contained 17008 lines.
    How to correct the error
        If the error occurred in your own ABAP program or in an SAP
        program you modified, try to remove the error.
        If the error occures in a non-modified SAP program, you may be able to
        find an interim solution in an SAP Note.
        If you have access to SAP Notes, carry out a search with the following
        keywords:
        "TABLE_INVALID_INDEX" " "
        "J_1IEWT_CERT" or "J_1IEWT_CERT_F01"
        "FILTER_DATA"
        If you cannot solve the problem yourself and want to send an error
        notification to SAP, include the following information:
        1. The description of the current problem (short dump)
           To save the description, choose "System->List->Save->Local File
        (Unconverted)".
        2. Corresponding system log
           Display the system log by calling transaction SM21.
           Restrict the time interval to 10 minutes before and five minutes
        after the short dump. Then choose "System->List->Save->Local File
        (Unconverted)".
        3. If the problem occurs in a problem of your own or a modified SAP
        program: The source code of the program
           In the editor, choose "Utilities->More
        Utilities->Upload/Download->Download".
    Tried searching for some SAP Notes to fix the issue, no success as of now, Please help me out...

    Have you checked these notes ?

  • Short dump 'Table does not exist in database'

    Hello All,
    When a report is executing it is going to short dump by saying 'Table does not exist in database'. As per the short dump analysis this issue is happening because of the following   Native SQL statement statement :
    Program :  %_T050N0 (This is a dynamic  program generating by SAP )
    Form Name :  DYN_LIC_SEL_TOT
    exec sql performing LOOP_MOVE_WRITE_ISAP.
    select single_plate, itm_num, ctry_code, model_lot,
    lic_hold_flg, qty into :dcat-lplate, :dcat-matnr,
    :dcat-werks, :dcat-charg, :dcat-holdflag,
    :dcat-qty from ZLICENSE_R2 where itm_num   = :p_matnr and
                    model_lot = :p_charg
    endexec.
    As per the customer this issue occurring since they migrated the SAP  back-end data base from Oralce to DB6. Here I felt that ZLICENSE_R2 is not migrated from the  Oracle to DB6. But as per the BASIS Team, even this table was not maintained in Oracle also. If the table was not maintained in the Oracle, this issue should have been there even before migration also.
    Following is the short dump details:
    Short text
        Table does not exist in database.
    What happened?
        The table or view name used does not
        exist in the database.
        The error occurred in the current database connection "DEFAULT".
    What can you do?
        Check the spelling of the table names in your report.
        Note down which actions and inputs caused the error.
        To process the problem further, contact you SAP system
        administrator.
        Using Transaction ST22 for ABAP Dump Analysis, you can look
        at and manage termination messages, and you can also
        keep them for a long time.
    Error analysis
        An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
        The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_NATIVE_SQL_ERROR', was not
         caught in
       procedure "DYN_LIC_SEL_TOT" "(FORM)", nor was it propagated by a RAISING
    clause.
    Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
    exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
    The reason for the exception is:
    Triggering SQL statement: "select single_plate, itm_num, ctry_code, model_lot,
    lic_hold_flg, qty from ZLICENSE_R2 where itm_num = ? and model_lot = ? "
    Database error code: "-204"
    Could you please  let me know what might be the reason for this issue.
    Many Thanks in Advance.

    Transaction SE11, input ZLICENSE_R2 for table name, and display the table. Did the table display? If not, that is the main problem.
    If the table displays, go to menu item Utilities -> Database Object -> Database Utility
    In the resulting screen, under the "Status" fields, you should see text "Exists in the database." If you don't, then the table exists in the dictionary, but doesn't exist in the database system. Click the "Create database table" button and then you should be able to run the program.
    You may need basis team's help to carryout some of these actions.

  • Short Dump while scrolling in a maintenance view

    A maintenance view has one field, defined as "Radiobutton".
    1) Select the radiobutton for one entry.
    2) Scroll down so that in the new page (i.e. the entries displayed in the new page) the entry selected in the first step is not visible.
    3) Select any radiobutton again corresponding to any of the entries displayed in the new page.
    4) On scrolling up again the short dump occurs.
    The short dump text says "More than one radio button is active".
    Any inputs in this regards are appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Gajendra.

    Hi,
    that means you are trying to make two radio buttons active.
    parameters: ra radiobutton group g1 default = 'X',
                rb radiobutton group g1.
    ra = 'X'.
    and rb = 'X'.
    in your case so obviously it will dump.
    check your coding..
    and show your code...

  • Is it possible to create manually a dump?

    Dear all,
    I have a question about Dumps created in SAP while programs run with unpredicted errors.
    I have a specific table defined in the dictionary which has two coloumns progId and path.
    The first one is a unique identifier given to a program and the second column is an absolute path on the
    unix server where SAP is installed.
    For example
    MyProg | /usr/tmpbatch/data/E200
    Means that the ABAP program named 'MyProg' will run and its output file (the output of the program) and the
    log file are created in /usr/tmpbatch/data/E200.
    In each of my programs, first of all I check the content of this table in order to ensure that the path is defined for the
    given program (and therefore I may be able to create avec success both output and log files). If there is no entry
    in the table for the given program, I leave the program by calling the STOP instruction.
    My programs run at night, so the next day the corresponding users read the content of the generated output/log files.
    As a result, if the path is not defined properly for a given program in the table, the program is not run and therefore
    there will be no output/logfile the next day.
    My question is How can I inform the user who arrives the next day observing that one program has not been run? How
    can I tell him by some kind of system message that the program exited because the path for the files had not been defined in
    my table?
    Each morning, we can analyse the dumps which were produced during the precedent day. So that we may know
    (approximately) what went wrong. But as far as I know, dumps are generated automatically by the system. Is it possible
    to generate a dump (by calling some fucntion) with an appropriate error message for my problem?
    Thanks in advance,
    Dariyoosh

    Hello again,
    First of all I would like to thank everybody for their attention to my problem and
    for spending time for answering my question. Thank you all very much.
    Currently, Thomas' solution about MESSAGE_TYPE_X seems to work pretty well
    for my problem. As all of you mentioned  that, there should be softer methods to inform
    users. One main problem is that the program which lanuches my programs during night
    is not a sap user, it is a Unix scheduler (please forgive me I don't know these administration
    details and how they work) so  according to what the administrator told me it is not possible
    to send email. As a result, I think I may go with MESSAGE_TYPE_X until I found another proper way.
    Once again, thank you all for your help.
    Kind Regards,
    Dariyoosh

  • SHORT DUMP WHILE EXECUTING DTP.

    Hi Gurus,
    I have got a short dump while executing DTP the Error is as Follows.
    Runtime Error: MESSAGE_TYPE_X.
    Reasons for Error: 1.The installation of the SAP GUI on the present server is faulty or obselete
    2.There is a error in the application program
    And i have sent the sreen shot of the Short Dump to BASIS TEAM and they have replied me that they have to install some patches and it will take some time.
    But i have no much time and i have to someway or the other execute the DTP and load the data.
    Is there any shortcuts for this i mean to say without the involvement of Basis team that i can do in th BI System
    Regards
    Amar.

    Hi Amar,
    If the problem is with with System itself, how can we all have a short cut in that case. You may give it another trial, but you have to wait for the patches to be applied. Ask your basis team to get it done ASAP.

  • New iPod Touch 32gb stalls after starting sync, error 54, manual synce gets dumped

    I just got this thing at Walmart last Sunday and its been driving me nuts all week! It's the brand new iPod Touch 32gb 4gen. When trying to sync it will start to load music then stall. Sometimes it gives error code 54, sometimes says it cant convert song, cant find song, or just stalls. If I wait anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour it will finally un-freeze and dump everything or say the connection has timed out. I've ran repair on iTunes from control panel, no help. Un-installed iTunes and re-installed it then tried synce, no help. I un-selected everything in the iPod summary so that it wont try to synce when I connect it and selected manual synce. Then I could sync a few songs at a time, but it still stalls after only loading a few songs on iPod. Tried dumping everything out of the ipod and start over, several times, no help. I've been 6 days, all day, every day, and half the nights getting a few songs at a time on this dam thing. I found when it stalls if I turn the iPod off to force it out of iTunes I can then restart iTunes, reconnect the iPod, manually select 15 to 20 songs and drag them to the iPod. A few times I got over a hundred to sync but usually 20 to 30 songs then it stalls. Then I have to do the whole thing over again. I had a little over 1200 songs out of the 1877 songs, 11.28gb, in my music library when the last time it stalled, it dumped everything. 4 or 5 days of manually syncing a few songs at a time, GONE. Just poof, all that work for nothing. The only thing left on it is 92 of the hundred something songs I've bought from iTunes. I'm ready to take a hammer to the dam thing and send it back to Walmart where I got it.
    I'm using a Dell Studio 17 inch laptop that's about 4 yrs old running Windows 7 that I installed 2 years ago. I had a iPod nano 2gb that worked fine with this computer & iTunes untill it died last spring.
    Why do you have it set up so that one little hickup and the dam thing dumps everything thats on it? I cant even stop it from starting to sync when I connect it because I need to see the settings in the summary for the iPod to change the settings, but I cant see that until I connect it, but as soon as I connect it, it try's to start the sync and stalls feezing everything.
    Can anybody help me before this thing drives me completely over the edge!?
    The ColoradoHermit

    I have a older Dell Optiplex desktop computer running Windows XP. I copied the iTunes  folder on my laptop to an external drive and plugged that into my desktop computer. Then connected the iPod Touch to the desktop. For some reason or other the computer thought the iPod was a camera and wanted to know which photo program to open with or for it. I never did get iTunes on my desktop computer to "see" the iPod and had to give up that idea.
    When going into the My Computer or Windows Explorer - which is the one I like to use for working with my files-  when I connect the iPod to my computer in Windows Explorer it will show the iPod. Open that and it shows Internal Storage, open that and a folder with DCIM shows below it, open that and a folder with 860OKMZO on it shows below that, open that and it has the 40 or 50 photos I saved from Facebook. That's it, there isn't anything else shown in its storage. The iTunes on my old Desktop doesn't see the iPod Touch either.
    Even if the iTunes on my old desktop would work with this iPod Touch it wouldn't do me any good. I read in a post that once it is connected to a iTunes Library, if its connected to any other iTunes Library on a different computer it will dump everything that's on it. Which is totally stupid but I think they - iTunes - have it that way so that you cant share your music with somebody elses computer. But that also makes it so I cant manually sync one thing at a time with my own iTunes Library. I tried syncing my music first and after I got some of it on the iPod, in its summary I deselected the music sync and selected the movies or video's so I could manually synce a few to it to see if it would work. Bad move. As soon as I did that it dumped everything that was on it, then said that it could not sync the movies because the files could not be written. HUH? Why a video from YouTube could not be written beats me. But why did it dump all the music?
    The last thing I did with it was put all the options in the summary in iTunes back to default, removed everything on the iPod that was left after its last dump, then disconnected it, closed iTunes, and rebooted my laptop and started over from scratch. Started iTunes, connected the iPod, after iTunes found it I opened the iPod summary, made sure everything except sync photo's was selected, then started the sync function. It immediately listed all the songs and the songs info in light gray under music on the iPod. It only got 2 songs copied, then stalled. I just left it alone to see what it would do. I opened the Windows Task Manager to see what it was doing. Even though the iTunes program appered to be stalled it was using 50% of the CPU. After about 15 minutes it showed a popup window saying the song could not be writen then another saying its connection to the iPod had timed out, then iTunes stalled and "not responding" showed in task manager and at the top of the iTunes window. After 30 minutes I had to force it to close with the Task Manager. By then it was after midnight and had been another 12 hours wasted messing with this thing.
