• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TPDA308 - Garbage collector started ?

  The SAP error message TPDA308, which states "Garbage collector started," typically indicates that the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is performing garbage collection. This is a normal process in Java applications, including those running on SAP systems, where the garbage collector reclaims memory that is no longer in use to optimize performance and prevent memory leaks.
  
  Cause:
  
  Memory Management: The JVM automatically manages memory allocation and deallocation. When the memory usage reaches a certain threshold, the garbage collector is triggered to free up memory.
  High Memory Usage: If your SAP system is experiencing high memory usage due to large data processing, many active sessions, or inefficient memory management in the application, the garbage collector may be invoked more frequently.
  
  Configuration Issues: The JVM settings may not be optimized for your specific workload, leading to frequent garbage collection events.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Monitor Memory Usage: Use monitoring tools to analyze memory usage patterns in your SAP system. This can help
