• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CSM_VMC034 - Size of the Java Heap for each VM ?

  The SAP error message CSM_VMC034 typically relates to issues with the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) heap size configuration in an SAP system. This error can occur when the Java heap size is not set correctly, leading to performance issues or failures in the Java application server.
  
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Heap Size: The Java heap size may be set too low for the applications running on the JVM, leading to out-of-memory errors.
  Excessive Heap Size: Conversely, setting the heap size too high can lead to inefficient memory usage and can cause the system to run out of physical memory.
  Configuration Errors: Incorrect configuration in the instance profile or startup parameters for the JVM can lead to this error.
  Resource Limitations: The underlying operating system may have limitations on memory allocation, which can affect the JVM's ability to allocate the required heap size.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Adjust Heap Size:
  
  Access the SAP NetWeaver Administrator or the relevant configuration files.
  Modify the JVM parameters to
