• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SECAUDIT087 - Kernel parameter &1 = &2 does not match the current SHM value &3 ?

  The SAP error message SECAUDIT087 indicates a mismatch between a kernel parameter and the current shared memory (SHM) value. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's security auditing features, where certain kernel parameters are expected to align with the system's shared memory settings.
  
  Cause:
  The error arises when the kernel parameter specified (denoted as &1) does not match the value currently set in the shared memory (denoted as &3). This can happen due to:
  
  Configuration Changes: Changes made to the kernel parameters in the SAP system profile or during system upgrades that have not been reflected in the shared memory settings.
  System Restart: If the system was not restarted after changing kernel parameters, the new values may not be applied.
  Inconsistent Settings: Manual changes to the kernel parameters that do not correspond with the expected values in the shared memory.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Kernel Parameters: Verify the kernel parameters
