• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSCV193 - 'Create' area for bitmaps is too small (& < & MByte) ?

  The SAP error message RSCV193 indicates that the "Create" area for bitmaps is too small, which means that the system is unable to allocate enough memory for bitmap processing. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's graphical output, such as when generating reports or displaying images.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Memory Allocation: The bitmap area allocated for graphical processing is not large enough to handle the current workload or the size of the images being processed.
  Configuration Settings: The settings in the SAP system for bitmap memory allocation may be set too low.
  High Volume of Data: If the report or output being generated involves a large amount of graphical data, it may exceed the current bitmap memory allocation.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Increase Bitmap Memory Allocation:
  
  You can increase the bitmap memory allocation in the SAP system. This is typically done by adjusting the profile parameters.
  The relevant parameter is rdisp/bitmap_area. You can increase this value to allocate more memory for bitmap processing.
  To change this parameter, you can use transaction RZ10 to edit the instance profile and then restart the SAP system for the changes to take effect.
  
  
  
  Optimize Reports:
  
  If possible, optimize the reports or outputs to reduce the size of the bitmaps being generated. This could involve reducing the resolution of images or limiting the amount of graphical data.
  
  
  
  Check System Resources:
  
  Ensure that the system has adequate resources (RAM, CPU) to handle the workload. If the system is under heavy load, consider scaling up the resources.
  
  
  
  Monitor and Analyze:
  
  Use transaction ST02 (Buffer Monitor) or ST03 (Workload Analysis) to monitor memory usage and identify any bottlenecks in the system.
