SAP Memory Management

The document discusses different types of SAP memory management including basics of memory, SAP roll area, extended memory, heap memory, and buffers. SAP memory includes physical memory, virtual memory, local memory, and shared memory. The SAP roll area temporarily stores user contexts and can include a local area and shared area, using roll in/out to copy contexts between the two. Extended memory is shared memory where user objects and data are stored, allowing all work processes direct access. Heap memory is used when extended and roll memory are full. Buffers cache frequently used objects to improve performance.

SAP Roll Memory

SAP Roll Memory

 Local SAP Roll area of work process


- The initial part of user context stored
- Each SAP work process can only access its own roll area

Shared SAP Roll Area


- Accessible to all of instance work processes
- Buffer to temporary keep user context when a user is assigned to
new work process

- Roll in : copying user context from shared roll area to local roll area
- Roll Out : copying user context from local roll area to shared roll area

SAP Extended Memory

Extended memory is the heart of the memory system

Shared memory in which objects, data, internal tables associated with individual users
are stored

 All SAP work process can edit stored user context directly

Each WP has a part of memory reserved in extended memory

 Makes roll process much faster
