SAP Add On memory usage

Hi, we are having issues with the and add on consuming more than 100MBs , some cases more than this. It happens on company connection. Any ideas on what could be a problem? . Others add ons take 30 MB

Hello Lucas,
Can u post the company Connection Code ?????
Thanks,

Memory Usage And Hard Drive Activity Increase After Latest Upgrade

I have upgraded to Firefox 3.6.15 and latest Adobe Flash Player. Then i noticed that plugin-container started to take a lot of memory as much as Firefox itself totaling around 600Mb. Then i see hard drive activity intermittently slowing down my laptop and making it unresponsive for a short period of time. I have 50 tabs open. I have disabled Flash and since then plugin-container takes very little memory and i don't see consistent hard drive activity.
I need Flash and i don't want to disable it. Is there a solution to this?

I am seeking solutions for same problem. When playing simple online games such as solitaire my memory usage for the plug in container is 300-600 mb while FireFox may only be 80-120 (with several windows or tabs open of mostly text pages). If I disable Adobe add-ons memory usage is greatly reduced. If I understood correctly it is possible to disable the plugin container and run adobe via the old method and another user thought that would solve the problem. I do not understand how it would make a difference but if you havent found a solution you may want to try it. See these 2 threads in the Mozilla forum:
A question and brief explanation and how to disable plugin container in config
I've previously had problems with Adobe crashing Firefox . At least now with Adobe being in the plugin container Firefox does not crash along with it.
I have another issue - I can sometimes still hear the music from a game after I have exited the game and closed the window. I would like to know how to release the resources used by Adobe - kind of like FireFox's RamBack.
Well, good luck to you (and me!)

Best way to detect memory usage etc. on mobile device for debugging?

Hi
What's the best way, when developing, to detect memory usage and such while the app is running on the device?
So you can test it and see if something is causing it to run wild. I'm making an iOS/Android device so I want to try it on both slow and fast phones and I have a script that "adds on" memory usage as the user continues. I would like to monitor this (either in app, or from the debugger) to see what happens.
Any ideas?
Thank you

Wow thanks Yacine! Didn't know this one, it will be a life saver for my IOS debugging !!
Cheers!

Analysing SAP Java Memory Usage in Unix/Linux

Hi,
I need to analyze the SAP Java memory usage of Unix /Linux machine..NW 7.0
Please guide with the commands and steps..complete prcedure.
Based on it I should decide whether to create a new server node (or) increasing heap size
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Do you have performance problems?
How many CPU's are in the server?
Did you check Log Configuration for delays or errors?
Did you tune any exisiting parameters?
You can add the nodes only if there is performance problems. You may think of adding one node to start with
Proper number of server nodes within an instance:
u2013 #ServerNodes = availableMemory / (JavaHeapPermSpaceStack)
You can calculate the server nodes based on below formula
No. of server Node = (RAM you want to assign or available RAM in GB)/2.5 ============> for 64-bit system
No. of server Node = (RAM you want to assign or available RAM in GB)/1.5 ============> for 32-bit system
Hence as per above discussion, we should go with 5 server nodes means,
5 = RAM/2.5 (Assuming you are on 64-bit platform)
i.e. RAM = 12.5 GB
2). u2013 Configure JVM heap according to Note 723909 and Note 1008311 - Recommended Settings for NW 7.0 >= SR2 for the AIX JVM (J9)

How to analyse the main memory usage in SAP ERP systems?

Dear expert,
I'm doing a research work about analysing the main memory usage in SAP ERP systems.
I would like to find out what is load in buffers and when. That means, which process have the control of these memories and which are always performing something, tables loaded, and so on. Becuase I tried to isolate the space needed by a simple webservice call (create one material) in my test system, but even after a $SYN there are something stored in the buffers. I use a BAPI to avoid the execution of the SAPGUI and its repercussion in the system (I know the BAPI called uses resources too, but when I run this BAPI to get the statistics, it's like ST02, I get different values). Could someone help me or recommend something specific to read? Thanks a lot in advance.

Dear expert,
Thanks a lot for your answer. The point is now that I want to isolate the memory used by a webservice that I call, I mean, I would like to know how many memory is this webservice using in each buffer. And could you tell me where could I read something about the order that things happen in SAP System when a webservice is called (always memory related), that's which steps are done to store data in buffers and so on. Thanks in advance.

Firefox 21.0 on OS X 10.8.4 still has a memory leak that occurs with no Add ons, 1 tab and leads to 3GB of memory usage in 10 minutes.

While using Firefox 21.0 on OS X 10.8.4 with 4GB RAM, Firefox memory usage marches up and up until at 3GB (on my iMac) Firefox hangs and is 100% non-responsive and must be killed with Force Quit. It takes 10 minutes to occur.
No Add Ons
One tab

John99,
Unfortunately, the problem was WORSE in FF 22.0. I regressed to FF21.0 and shut off automatic updates. I may even go back to FF3.6, which is the last one where I didn't see this problem.
Thank you for trying but as a longstanding developer I know that pervasive memory leaks is a sign of a broken development process. Thank you for trying...

SQL Memory Usage

Hello
I am updating some items with the DTW. i am updating 9000 items. I have made 9 files of 1000 records, i am just updating the picturname field. When i start to upload the files the SQL Memory usage starts to grow more and more. When i try to upload the third file the memory has grown too much, and the DTW says the file update ok but it doesnt update the database. So i need to restart the SQL service (mssqlserver) and do it again. Some times it doesnt work so i need to restart the server.
Any ideas??

hi,
Check this information abt DI API Memory Consumption in WIKI SDK FAQ's.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/wiki?path=/display/b1/faq_sdk
DI API
Memory consumption
New connection mechanism in 2007 vs. classical
1. In the old method the DI API was loaded into the same process with the Add-On and was an "actual part" of it, so calls to the DI-API were very quick and direct
2. In the new method there is one common DI-API which is part of the Core B1. All the Add-Ons will use the same DI-API IF (!!!) they work in the new method. The calls to the DI-API have now to "go between" two processes. This means that they go through more processing and although it's all in the same machine and no actual communication (i.e., network traffic) is actually happening, the system's CPU and memory are "working harder".
The impact is extremely small on an individual call level, but for an Add-On that makes a large amount of calls this difference accumulates...
There is no huge additional CPU or Memory consumption. Most of the impact is on the Response Time level. Some of it is CPU consumption and some of it is Context Switch waiting.
3. This trade-off between Memory consumption and Response Time is actually another reason why R&D thought it's a good idea to leave the new method to be optional based on a decision from the developer.

High memory usage when many tabs are open (and closed)

When I open Firefox the memory usage is about 70-100 MB RAM. When I'm working with Firefox I often open 15-20 tabs at once, then I close them and open others. Memory usage increaes up to 450 - 500 MB RAM. After closing the tabs the usage usually decreases, but after sometime. It starts decreasing very slow and never comes back to the level from the beginning. After few hours of work Firefox uses about 400 MB RAM even if one tab is open. First I thought it's because of my plugins (Firebug, Speed Dial, Adlock Plus) but I've checked it and it's not. I reinstalled Firefox but the problem occurs as well. I'm not sure if it's normal. Could you help me, please?

Memory usage of excel stays high after Macro is executed and excel crashes after trying to close it

Hi,
I'm trying to resolve an issue with an excel based tool. The macros retrieve data from an Oracle database and do calculations with the data. They also open and write into files in the same directory. The macros all run and finish the calculations. I can
continue to use and modify the sheet. I can also close the workbook, however excel memory usage I see in the windows Task manager stays elevated.If I close Excel it says: Excel stopped working and then it tries to recover information...
I assume something in the macro did not finish properly and memory was not released. I would like to check what is still open (connection, stream or any other object) when I close the workbook I would like to have a list of all still used memory. Is there
a possibility to do so.

Thanks Starain,
that's what I did the last days and found that the problem is in the
newPrice_calculate (lastRow)

Is there a possibility to clean everything in:

MS Minimize and memory usage

Hi,
I noticed that if you minimize your dos window, your memory usage ( as shown in Windows task manager ) drops a lot. E.g. I have Tomcat running ( 15 MB usage ). When I minimize the Tomcat DOS window, the memory usage shows something like 160kB. Any ideas. What is the real usage ?
Regards,
Dieter Janssen

When you minimize the window Java will run a garbage collection. But also be aware of that the memory usage in Windows task manager is shown in both the Mem Usage column and the VM Size column (you maybe need to add this to your Task manager).
I hope this will help you!

Very high memory usage with Yahoo Mail

After using Yahoo Mail for an hour or so my memory usage increases to a very high level.
Just now, after reading and deleting about 50 e-mails (newsletters etc.) I noticed Firefox 17 running slowly and checked the memory usage in Windows Task Manager (I am using XP) and it was 1.2 Gb. My older laptop only has 2 Gb of RAM. Yahoo Mail was the only thing open at the time.
I never notice this problem with Gmail which I mainly use. However I use Yahoo Mail for quite a few newsletters etc. that are less important and which I only check once a week or so.
I found the following bug report about 3 years old which almost exactly describes my problem.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=506771
But this report involves a much earlier Firefox version, and at the end it seems to say that the problem was fixed. However it well describes my current issue with Firefox 17, especially the continual increase in memory while using the up/down arrow keys to scroll through Yahoo e-mails.
Is this normal to have to shut down and reopen Firefox every hour or so to clean out the memory? For some reason I only notice this when using Yahoo Mail. After using many other sites and having multiple tabs open for several hours I rarely reach that kind of memory usage. About the highest I've seen with other sites after a couple of hours is 600 Kb which is roughly when I start notice slower response times.

Sudden high memory usage, can't find cause

I did a big update yesterday, and today I've started to notice very high memory usage. I wasn't keeping track before so I can't say how much it increased, but I've never had problems before, and the slowness and lack of responsiveness have been noticeable, though I haven't ruled out other possible causes for that. Here's the output of 'free -m':
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 7971 7826 144 0 1 149
-/+ buffers/cache: 7674 296
Swap: 9215 458 8757
It wasn't as bad as that right after startup, though usage still seemed suspiciously high. What makes this whole thing a mystery to me is that none of my running processes seem to be using that much memory! Here's the output of 'top -b -n 1':

I wouldn't expect the '%MEM's to add up to exactly the real usage, but this isn't even close! So, what could be using up all of my memory? I have /tmp mounted to ram, but that's only a few megabytes. I really have no idea where to go from here.
The relevant portion of my pacman log is below, since I don't know how to get just a compact list of the updated packages. Most notably, the kernel was upgrades, from 3.9.9-1 to 3.10.3-1.

Okay, so it turns out that this was caused by the Catalyst bug described in this post. Reverting to the 13.6 version solved the problem. Lesson learned: if there's a ton of memory being used that isn't owned by a running process, start looking for bug reports involving drivers. Especially drivers known for being, well, pretty bad. Was there any method I could have used that would have told me that Catalyst was using all my ram, or is kernel-space memory usage pretty much a black box?

High Eden Java Memory Usage/Garbage Collection

Hi,
I am trying to make sure that my Coldfusion Server is optomised to the max and to find out what is normal limits.
Basically it looks like at times my servers can run slow but it is possible that this is caused by a very old bloated code base.
Jrun can sometimes have very high CPU usage so I purchased Fusion Reactor to see what is going on under the hood.
Here are my current Java settings (running v6u24):
java.args=-server -Xmx4096m -Xms4096m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -XX:PermSize=256m -Dsun.rmi.dgc.client.gcInterval=600000 -Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval=600000 -Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=false -XX:+UseParallelGC -Xbatch ........
With regards Memory, the only memory that seems to be running a lot of Garbage Collection is the Eden Memory Space. It climbs to nearly 1.2GB in total just under every minute at which time it looks like GC kicks in and the usage drops to about 100MB.
Survivor memory grows to about 80-100MB over the space of 10 minutes but drops to 0 after the scheduled full GC runs. Old Gen memory fluctuates between 225MB and 350MB with small steps (~50MB) up or down when full GC runs every 10 minutes.
I had the heap set to 2GB initally in total giving about 600MB to the Eden Space. When I looked at the graphs from Fusion Reactor I could see that there was (minor) Garbage Collection about 2-3 times a minute when the memory usage maxed out the entire 600MB which seemed a high frequency to my untrained eye. I then upped the memory to 4GB in total (~1.2GB auto given to Eden space) to see the difference and saw that GC happened 1-2 times per minute.
Is it normal in Coldfusion that the Eden memory would grow so quickly and have garbage collection run so often? i.e do these graphs look normal?
Also should I somehow redistribute the memory available to give the Eden memory more since it seems to be where all the action is?
Any other advice for performance improvements would be much appreciated.
Note: These graphs are not from a period where jrun had high CPU.
Here are the graphs:
PS Eden Space Graph
PS Survivor Space Graph
PS Old Gen Graph
PS Perm Gen Graph
Heap Memory Graph
Heap/Non Heap Memory Graph
CPU Graph
Request Average Execution Time Graph
Request Activity Graph
Code Cache Graph

Hi,
>Is it normal in Coldfusion that the Eden memory would grow so quickly and have garbage collection run so often?
Yes normal to garbage collect Eden often. That is a minor garbage collection.
>Also should I somehow redistribute the memory available to give the Eden memory more since it seems to be where all the action is?
Sometimes it is good to set Eden (Eden and its two Survivor Spaces combined make up New or Young Generation part of JVM heap) to a smaller size. I know your thinking - what make it less, but I want to make it bigger. Give less a try (sometimes less = more, bigger not = better) and monitor the situation. I like to use -Xmn switch, some sources say to use other method/s. Perhaps you could try java.args=-server -Xmx4096m -Xms4096m -Xmn172m etc. I better mention make a backup copy of jvm.config before applying changes. Having said that now you know how you can set the size to bigger if you want.
I think the JVM is perhaps making some poor decisions with sizing the heap. With Eden growing to 1Gb then being evacuated not many objects are surviving and therefore not being promoted to Old Generation. This ultimately means the object will need to be loaded again latter to Eden rather than being referenced in the Old generation part of the heap. Adds up to poor performance.
>Any other advice for performance improvements would be much appreciated.
You are using Parallel garbage collector. Perhaps you could enable that to run multi-threaded reducing the time duration of the garbage collections, jvm args ...-XX:+UseParallelGC -XX:ParallelGCThreads=N etc where N = CPU cores (eg quad core = 4).
HTH, Carl.

How to monitor java memory usage in enterprise manager

I am running sqlplus to execute a sql package, which generates XML.
When processing 2000+ rows, it will give a out of memory error.
Where in enterprise manger can I see this memory usage?
Thanks.

Hello,
it depends a little on what you want to do. If you use the pure CCMS monitoring with the table ALTRAMONI you get average response time per instance and you only get new measurements once the status changes from green to yellow or red.
In order to get continuous measurements you should look into Business Process Monitoring and the different documentations under https://service.sap.com/bpm --> Media Libary --> Technical Information. E.g. the PDF Setup Guide for Application Monitoring describes this "newer" dialog performance monitor. Probably you have to click on the calendar sheet in the Media Libary to also see older documents as well. As the Business Process Monitoring integrates with BW (there is also a BI Setup Guide in the Media LIbrary) you can get trendlines there. This BW integration also integrates back with SL Reporting.
Some guidance for SL Reporting is probably given under https://service.sap.com/rkt-solman but I am not 100% sure.
Best Regards
Volker

Shared memory: apache memory usage in solaris 10

Hi people, I have setup a project for the apache userID and set the new equivalent of shmmax for the user via projadd. In apache I crank up StartServers to 100 but the RAM is soon exhausted - apache appears not to use shared memory under solaris 10. Under the same version of apache in solaris 9 I can fire up 100 apache startservers with little RAM usage. Any ideas what can cause this / what else I need to do? Thanks!

a) How or why does solaris choose to share memory
between processes
from the same program invoked multiple times
if that program has not
been specifically coded to use shared memory?Take a look at 'pmap -x' output for a process.
Basically it depend on where the memory comes from. If it's a page loaded from disk (executable, shared library) then the page begins life shared among all programs using the same page. So a small program with lots of shared libraries mapped may have a large memory footprint but have most of it shared.
If the page is written to, then a new copy is created that is no longer shared. If the program requests memory (malloc()), then the heap is grown and it gathers more private (non-shared) page mappings.
Simply: if we run pmap / ipcs we can see a
shared memory reference
for our oracle database and ldap server. There
is no entry for apache.
But the total memory usage is far far less than
all the apache procs'
individual memory totted up (all 100 of them, in
prstat.) So there is
some hidden sharing going on somewhere that
solaris(2.9) is doing,
but not showing in pmap or ipcs. (virtually
no swap is being used.)pmap -x should be showing you exactly which pages are shared and which are not.
b) Under solaris 10, each apache process takes up
precisely the
memory reported in prstat - add up the 100
apache memory details
and you get the total RAM in use. crank up the
number of procs any
more and you get out of memory errors so it
looks like prstat is
pretty good here. The question is - why on
solaris10 is apache not
'shared' but it is on solaris 9? We set up
all the usual project details
for this user, (jn /etc/projects) but I'm
guessing now that these project
tweaks where you explicitly set the shared
memory for a user only take
effect for programs explicitly coded to use
shared memory , e.g. the
oracle database, which correctly shows up a
shared memory reference
in ipcs .
We can fire up thousands of apaches on the 2.9
system without
running out of memory - both machines have the
same ram !
But the binary versions of apache are exactly
the same, and
the config directives are identical.
please tell me that there is something really
simple we have missed!On Solaris 10, do all the pages for one of the apache processes appear private? That would be really, really unusual.
