This can occur in various scenarios, such as when handling large datasets or during complex data processing tasks.
  Causes:
  
  Insufficient Memory Allocation: The SAP system may not have enough memory allocated to handle the current workload.
  Large Data Volume: The operation may involve processing a large volume of data that exceeds the available memory.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration settings for memory management in the SAP system.
  Memory Leaks: There may be memory leaks in the application or in custom code that is consuming more memory than expected.
  Concurrent Processes: Multiple processes running simultaneously may be consuming memory resources, leading to exhaustion.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Increase Memory Allocation:
  
  Adjust the memory settings in the SAP profile parameters. You can increase the values for parameters like abap/heap_area_total, abap/heap_area_dia, and abap/heap_area_nondia to allocate more memory to the ABAP runtime environment.
  Use transaction RZ10 to modify the profile parameters and restart the instance for changes to take effect.
  
  
  
  Optimize Data Processing:
  
  If possible, reduce the size of the data being processed. This can be done by filtering data or processing it in smaller batches.
  Review the logic of the data processing to ensure it is efficient and does not consume unnecessary memory.
  
  
  
  Check for Memory Leaks:
  
  Analyze custom code and third-party add-ons for potential memory leaks. Use tools like the SAP Memory Inspector or transaction ST02 to monitor memory usage and identify problematic areas.
  
  
  
  Monitor System Performance:
  
  Use transaction ST03N to analyze workload and performance metrics. This can help identify if specific transactions or processes are consuming excessive memory.
  
  
  
  Review Background Jobs:
  
  Check if there are any background jobs running that may be consuming a lot of memory. You can use transaction SM37 to monitor and manage background jobs.
