Hi Dev,

Parameter 'rsdb/esm/buffersize_kb' controls the size of the exp/imp SHM buffer.

Documentation from RZ11 for this parameter is as follows:

-


The parameter defines the size of the ESM buffer in kB. The buffer

provides data storage in Shared Memory and is addressed with the ABAP

commands EXPORT TO / IMPORT FROM SHARED MEMORY und DELETE FROM

SHARED MEMORY. The commands are only effective locally; the buffers

of external application servers are not changed.

If the buffer is full, no further objects can be stored in the buffer.

-


On the other hand for the Export/Import buffer the relevant parameter is rsdb/obj/buffersize, for which documentation is as follows:

-


This parameter sets the size of the import /export buffer (KB).

The buffer is used for data storage in the shared memory and is

accessed using the ABAP commands EXPORT TO/IMPORT FROM SHARED BUFFER

and DELETE FROM SHARED BUFFER. The commands only affect the local

system. Buffers on external application servers are not

changed. If the buffer is full, old buffer objects are kicked out

when new objects are exported to the buffer.

-


The last sentence for each is different. Parameter values and some more information are listed in SAP note #702728.
