S *** ERROR => AlReportPerfValue(ProcessingGroup) failed [rspomoni.c 641]

Did you create an /etc/project file and assigned the limits accordingly?

Hi Markus,

Yes we have manintained the entry in the project file. This SAP Application server was running fine previously. And also there is no memory issue.

To me it seems you were running into an OS imposed limit.

Check also /var/adm/messages on the affected machine.

Check Unix kernel parameters.

I am not familiar with Solaris, but there should be SAP notes about it.

Perhaps parameter NPROC, or similar parameters controlling the number of Unix processes.

Also check if there is a large number of zombie processes or the like.

hope this helps.

Hi Joe,

I stopped the SAP using kill.sap. After that SAP ABAP& JAVA stack are up. But i need to check why its getting fork failed.

Thanks for your guidance.
