SYSTEM_CORE_DUMPED in system

[Former Member]

Hello,

We have found core dumps in our system. We have release 700 and kernel patch 255. The dump says " Main memory destroyed" I have gone through the SAP notes and there are suggestions for kernel upgrade. But we already are at latest level. Also the notes are for older patch levels.

I am copying some key lines from the dump bellow..

Please see the folowing dump details and help me to find out the reason for the dump.

The error occurred because of a main memory overwrite. There may

be an internal error in the R/3 System.

The amount of memory occupied at the time of the termination was:

-

> Roll area......................... 0 bytes

> Extended memory area (EM)......... 0 bytes

> Fixed area........................ 0 bytes

In the work directory of the SAP system (e.g. /usr/sap/C11/D00/work ),

there may be files called 'mm.dump' and 'mm.info'.

Save these files under other names.

Thanks in advance;

Perhaps try an older kernel patch.

New kernels come with new bugs sometimes.

Whats your OS and DB, I think the latest kernel patch for 700 is 278.

Hello Joe/Sunil,

Thanks for quick reply. We have already upgraded kernels on all server. Reverting the kernel will not be a good Idea. We have OS HP-UX and DB as Oracle 10.2.0.4.0

I just had a look the latest kenel available is 278 for release 700 and OS HP-UX. I will propose this solution ahead.

Thanks alot tp both of you for the reply.

Regards,

Sujit

BTW: you may be aware but just want to mention Note 1339724 - Oracle 10.2 Extended Support free until July 31, 2011

Hi Sujit

Hope kernel update helps .But propose latest-1 and not latest .

It may help if new release has any bug and not caught by SAP

Also with this dump what I have observed is it will create unwanted file called core in work directory

size will be huge and may cause space issue on /usr/sap

Just have a look

Success!!!
