• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/CIF887 - No more roll memory available ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/CIF887 No more roll memory available typically occurs in the context of the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) system, particularly when using the Core Interface (CIF) for data transfer between SAP ERP and SAP APO. This error indicates that the system has run out of roll memory, which is a type of memory used by SAP to store data that is not currently being processed but may be needed later.
  Causes:
  
  Insufficient Roll Memory Configuration: The roll memory may not be configured adequately in the SAP system, leading to exhaustion during data processing.
  High Volume of Data: Large data transfers or processing of extensive datasets can consume roll memory quickly.
  Long-Running Processes: Processes that take a long time to complete may hold onto roll memory longer than necessary.
  Memory Leaks: There could be issues in the code or configuration that lead to memory not being released properly.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Increase Roll Memory:
  
  You can increase the roll memory size in the SAP system profile parameters. The parameter to adjust is rdisp/roll_area. You can do this by:
  
  Accessing transaction RZ10 to change the instance profile.
  Modifying the rdisp/roll_area parameter to a higher value.
  Restarting the SAP instance for the changes to take effect.
  
  
  
  
  
  Optimize Data Transfer:
  
  If possible, reduce the volume of data being transferred in a single CIF run. This can be done by splitting large data sets into smaller batches.
  
  
  
  Monitor and Optimize Processes:
  
  Use transaction SM37 to monitor long-running jobs and identify any that may be consuming excessive resources.
  Review the processes and optimize them to ensure they are efficient and do not hold onto memory longer than necessary.
  
  
  
  Check for Memory Leaks:
  
  Investigate any custom code or enhancements that may be causing memory leaks. This may require debugging or consulting with a developer.
  
  
  
  System Resources:
  
  Ensure that the underlying hardware has sufficient resources (RAM, CPU) to support the operations being performed.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes:
  
  Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this issue. SAP frequently releases updates and patches that can resolve known issues.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  RZ10: To change profile parameters.
  SM37: To monitor job status.
  ST02: To analyze memory usage.
  
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on memory management and configuration.
  
  
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums for insights from other users who may have encountered similar issues.
