Diagnosis This monitoring tree element reports on the amount of swap space inpercent that is available in a particular host system. Swap space is the amount of disk storage available for swapping orpaging out data from main memory. Because of its high-performancememory management design, the SAP system makes intensive use of swapspace. Procedure A swap space alert means that swap space is becoming critically short inyour system. Exhausting swap space in a system that is hosting an SAPapplication server causes severe problems in the system. There shouldalways be a minimum of 100 MB of free swap space on a system that ishosting an application server or database. See the memory management documentation (Help -> SAP Library, SAPNetWeaver -> Application Platform -> ABAP Technology -> Client/ServerTechnology -> SAP Memory Management) for help in preventing andcorrecting swap space problems. |
