• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CSM_VMC071 - Average Effective CPU Usage for Garbage Collection of VMs as a Percentage ?

  The SAP error message CSM_VMC071, which refers to "Average Effective CPU Usage for Garbage Collection of VMs as a Percentage," typically indicates that there is an issue related to the performance of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) garbage collection process. This can affect the overall performance of SAP applications running on the JVM.
  
  Cause:
  
  
  High Garbage Collection Overhead: The JVM is spending too much time performing garbage collection, which can lead to performance degradation. This can happen if:
  
  The heap size is too small for the workload.
  There are memory leaks in the application.
  The application is creating too many temporary objects.
  The garbage collection algorithm is not suitable for the workload.
  
  
  
  Insufficient Resources: The underlying hardware may not have enough CPU or memory resources to handle the workload efficiently.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect JVM parameters or settings can lead to inefficient garbage collection.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Monitor and Analyze: Use monitoring tools to analyze the JVM performance and garbage collection logs. Look
