• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message S7087 - No more roll memory available ?

  The SAP error message S7087 "No more roll memory available" indicates that the system has run out of roll memory, which is used to store user context and data during program execution. This can occur in various scenarios, particularly when there are many users logged in or when a single user is running memory-intensive transactions.
  Causes:
  
  Insufficient Roll Memory Configuration: The roll memory may not be configured adequately for the number of users or the workload.
  High User Load: A large number of concurrent users can consume roll memory quickly.
  Memory Leaks: Certain programs or transactions may not release memory properly, leading to exhaustion of available roll memory.
  Long-Running Transactions: Transactions that take a long time to complete can hold onto roll memory longer than expected.
  System Configuration Issues: Incorrect settings in the SAP system profile parameters related to memory management.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Increase Roll Memory:
  
  You can increase the roll memory by adjusting the profile parameters in the SAP system. The relevant parameters are:
  
  rdisp/roll_area: This parameter defines the size of the roll area for each user.
  rdisp/roll_max: This parameter sets the maximum roll memory available for the entire system.
  
  
  After making changes, restart the SAP instance for the changes to take effect.
  
  
  
  Monitor and Optimize User Load:
  
  Analyze the number of concurrent users and their activities. If possible, limit the number of concurrent sessions or optimize the transactions being run.
  
  
  
  Check for Memory Leaks:
  
  Use transaction codes like ST02 (Tune Summary) and ST04 (Database Performance) to monitor memory usage and identify any potential memory leaks in programs.
  
  
  
  Review Long-Running Transactions:
  
  Identify and optimize long-running transactions that may be consuming excessive roll memory.
  
  
  
  System Configuration Review:
  
  Review the overall system configuration and ensure that it is optimized for the expected workload. This includes checking other memory-related parameters such as abap/heap_area_dia and abap/heap_area_nondia.
  
  
  
  Restart the SAP System:
  
  In some cases, a system restart may temporarily alleviate the issue, but it is essential to address the underlying cause to prevent recurrence.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like ST02, ST04, and SM50 to monitor memory usage and performance.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes related to memory management and roll memory issues for specific guidance and updates.
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal for detailed documentation on memory management and configuration.
  
  By addressing the root causes and optimizing the system configuration, you can mitigate the occurrence of the S7087 error and improve overall system performance.
