Proccesses goes to PRIV mode

[Former Member]

Hi, we have problem with proccesses going to PRIV mode (SAPHTTP), extended memory:

Roll, extended and heap memory EXTM

ztta/roll_area 3000000 Byte Roll area per workprocess (total)

ztta/roll_first 1 Byte First amount of roll area used in a dialog WP

ztta/short_area 1600000 Byte Short area per workprocess

rdisp/ROLL_SHM 16384 8 kB Part of roll file in shared memory

rdisp/PG_SHM 8192 8 kB Part of paging file in shared memory

rdisp/PG_LOCAL 150 8 kB Paging buffer per workprocess

em/initial_size_MB 4092 MB Initial size of extended memory

em/blocksize_KB 4096 kB Size of one extended memory block

em/address_space_MB 4092 MB Address space reserved for ext. mem. (NT only)

ztta/roll_extension 2000000000 Byte Max. extended mem. per session (external mode)

abap/heap_area_dia 2000000000 Byte Max. heap memory for dialog workprocesses

abap/heap_area_nondia 2000000000 Byte Max. heap memory for non-dialog workprocesses

abap/heap_area_total 2000000000 Byte Max. usable heap memory

abap/heaplimit 40000000 Byte Workprocess restart limit of heap memory

abap/use_paging 0 Paging for flat tables used (1) or not (0)

have You any advice?

Thanks

Hi,

Try to kill the workprocess and see,

If not try to restart the server,So that the Memory under semaphor will be freed out.

em/initial_size_MB 4092 MB Initial size of extended memory

Post your platform/RAM details. This parameter seems high to me.

Hi,

A process going into PRIV means that either it has exhausted its quota of extended memory (ztta/roll_extension) or that the total extended memory (em/initial_size_MB) has been used up by other sessions.

The parameters look pretty standard, but you must determine the memory usage at the time you see a PRIV process. Do this via SM04 -> Goto -> Memory.

Another piece of advice: when you ask a question about memory-related issues, please always mention your operating system (Windows, UNIX, Linux, ...), O/S release and SAP release. SAP memory management has quite a few platform dependencies in it.
