• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message D4425 - SAP/OS400 active space roll management: Roll areas - current size ?

  The SAP error message D4425, which pertains to "SAP/OS400 active space roll management: Roll areas - current size," typically indicates an issue related to the roll area size in the SAP system running on the OS/400 platform. This error can occur when the roll area size is insufficient for the current workload, leading to performance issues or failures in processing.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Roll Area Size: The roll area is used to store data that cannot fit into the main memory. If the roll area is too small, it can lead to this error.
  High Workload: A sudden increase in the number of users or transactions can lead to a higher demand for roll space.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration settings for roll area parameters in the SAP system can also lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Increase Roll Area Size:
  
  You can increase the roll area size by adjusting the parameters in the SAP profile. The parameters to look for are:
  
  rdisp/roll_area
  rdisp/roll_max
  
  
  You can do this by accessing the SAP profile parameters through transaction RZ10 or by editing the instance profile directly.
  
  
  
  Monitor Roll Area Usage:
  
  Use transaction SM50 or SM66 to monitor the roll area usage and identify if there are specific processes consuming excessive roll space.
  
  
  
  Adjust Workload:
  
  If possible, reduce the number of concurrent users or transactions to alleviate pressure on the roll area.
  
  
  
  Review and Optimize Programs:
  
  Analyze the ABAP programs running in the system to identify any that may be using excessive roll space and optimize them if necessary.
  
  
  
  Restart the Instance:
  
  After making changes to the roll area size, you may need to restart the SAP instance for the changes to take effect.
