How To Fix RSDD_ZA153 - Utilization check of shared memory in BW Accelerator

RSDD_ZA153 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RSDD_ZA - Messages from TREX Aggregate Area

• Message number: 153

• Message text: Utilization check of shared memory in BW Accelerator

What causes this issue?

This check examines the usage and percentage usage of the shared memory
in your SAP NetWeaver BI Accelerator. It also checks whether the
capacity of the shared memory on all blades is set equally. The amount
of remaining free memory is specified as a percentage of the total
memory. If the amount of free memory is less than 30% of the total
memory, the check message is given a warning status (<ZK>yellow</>). If
this amount is less than 25%, the check message is given an error status
(<ZK>red</>).

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

The system tries to solve the problem automatically by executing one of
various actions; for example, by deleting objects that are no longer
used from the memory. If the system cannot solve the problem
automatically, it prompts you to increase the shared memory if the
shared memory requires more capacity.
If the check identifies that a different amount of memory is allocated
to the shared memory on each of the blades, you are prompted to adjust
the amount of memory allocated to the shared memory on each blade so
that there is an equal amount on each blade.
