Dump - mem_alloc_failed

[former_member194669]

All,

I am getting the following dump in a ALV report, But dump not getting all the time

Runtime Errors MEM_ALLOC_FAILED

Date and Time 07/16/2009 10:54:34

Short text

Internally required memory is not available

What happened?

Resource bottleneck

The current program "CL_SALV_BS_TT_MHTML===========CP" had to be terminated

because

a capacity limit has been reached.

Termination occurred in the ABAP program "CL_SALV_BS_TT_MHTML===========CP" -

in "TRANSFORM_FROM_ALVXML".

Any info how to correct this.

Hi,

You check this whether report is going infinite loop or what.

That could be the problem.

Thanks,

If the report goes in a indefinite loop then it will NOT produce a output and dump will be "Time out error"

If you are running in background, look if multiple jobs are running simultaneously at the same time.

You want to talk with basis as this is related to memory issue.

Thanks

Did you check in debugging mode where you are getting this problem ?

Check the Memory available in DB02 or DB20 transaction( i guess as i am not with sap system now )

May be basis people can help you in increasing it.

As per Basis the oracle database looks okay. The problem seems to be a SAP R/3 buffer.

Does anyone knows how to enlarge buffer , how we do it only for this report?

Check if this may help you.

RZ10 uses to increase sap r/3 buffer dynamically. Currently i am looking for way for increase the buffer for a particular program.

Here quick and dirty solution will be remove the XLS download button of ALV and added a custom button for downloading to XLS using XML tags

You cannot allocate memory buffers dynamically.  If you were you would usr RZ11 not RZ10 to which RZ10 is used to create static profile parameters that will be read at kernel startup when memory is allocated.  Please see note 1229110 for this issue.
