Error: Unable to fulfil request for 262144 bytes of memory space.

Hi experts,

When running a query and 30 minutes after that, I received an error message from BW:

<b>Error Group

RFC_ERROR_SYSTEM_FAILURE

Message

Unable to fulfil request for 262144 bytes of memory space.</b>

Can someone help me with this?

Keep more free chars.

Try to precalculate in background and also try to broadcast.

Ofcource, other options like caching, aggregates, etc.

This error means you are requesting too much data at one time. Break up your request into smaller chunks (e.g., smaller date range, fewer companies, etc.).

Hope this helps...

Hi Bob,

Many thanks for your reply. I believe your observation is correct. I can run the report when I choose only one month instead of 17 months.

However, do you think that something can be done on BW server to eliminate this problem? Is there not enough memory on BW server to fulfil this request?

Thanks.
