• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 14083 - Warning: Global memory allocated up to & % ?

  The SAP error message 14083, which states "Warning: Global memory allocated up to & %," typically indicates that the global memory allocation in the SAP system has reached a certain threshold. This warning is not necessarily an error but serves as an alert to system administrators that the memory usage is approaching its limits.
  Cause:
  
  
  High Memory Usage: The warning is triggered when the global memory usage in the SAP system reaches a predefined limit. This can happen due to:
  
  A large number of users accessing the system simultaneously.
  Resource-intensive processes or transactions running in the background.
  Inefficient coding or poorly optimized programs that consume excessive memory.
  Memory leaks in custom programs or third-party add-ons.
  
  
  
  Configuration Settings: The global memory settings in the SAP system may not be configured optimally for the current workload.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Monitor Memory Usage: Use transaction codes like SM04 (User Overview) and SM50 (Process Overview) to monitor which users and processes are consuming the most memory.
  
  
  Optimize Programs: Review and optimize custom ABAP programs or reports that may be consuming excessive memory. Look for:
  
  Inefficient loops or data handling.
  Unnecessary data retrieval from the database.
  Memory leaks in the code.
  
  
  
  Adjust Memory Parameters: If necessary, adjust the global memory parameters in the SAP system. This can be done through transaction RZ10 to modify the instance profile settings. Key parameters to consider include:
  
  abap/heap_area_total: Total memory available for ABAP programs.
  abap/heap_area_dia: Memory for dialog work processes.
  abap/heap_area_nondia: Memory for non-dialog work processes.
  
  
  
  Increase Hardware Resources: If the system consistently approaches memory limits, consider upgrading the hardware resources (RAM) of the server hosting the SAP system.
  
  
  Review Background Jobs: Check for any background jobs that may be running excessively and consuming memory. You can use transaction SM37 to monitor and manage background jobs.
  
  
  System Restart: In some cases, a system restart may help clear memory and resolve temporary issues.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes related to memory management and performance tuning for specific recommendations and best practices.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums for insights and experiences from other users who may have encountered similar issues.
  Performance Monitoring Tools: Consider using SAP Solution Manager or other performance monitoring tools to gain deeper insights into system performance and memory usage.
  
  By addressing the underlying causes and optimizing the system configuration, you can mitigate the warning and improve overall system performance.
