exception CX_SHM_INCONSISTENT

[HelenK]

Hi,

We are using a shared memory area which from time ot time throws an exception CX_SHM_INCONSISTENT on read access.

When the area is re-build is stays consistent and allows read accesses for some time and then becomes inconsistent without any write accesses done in meantime.

When using the transaction SHMA, it is also impossible to have a look at the area as the error message 'The instance is not consistent - no access possible'(Message no. SHMM010) is displayed.

The SAP Library says:"The type of an object saved in the area instance does not match the definition of the object with the same name in the current program".

Does anybody know what are the reasons why the shared memory area might become inconsistent?

Kind regards,

Helen

Hi guys,

Im having exactly the same situation with the Topic Starter. I already referred the sap notes provided by Rob and those notes cannot be implemented in my system because they are already obsolete.

So any idea on this problem?

Okay, I found the cause of the problem. It will become inconsistent if you either regenerate the memory area or reactivate or change something in the class. Thats all.
