Summary :
This SAP Note addresses issues and solutions related to the sorting of internal tables or extracts in SAP R/3 from release 4.5A and higher. It details changes in sorting functionality, explaining that tables are either sorted in-memory or on disk based on size and release version. Sorting in-memory is defined up to certain size limits, while larger datasets utilize disk sorting to prevent memory overflow errors such as EXSORT_NOT_ENOUGH_MEMORY. Solutions include adjusting heap memory settings to accommodate sort operations. Additionally, enhancements from Kernel patches for various releases are mentioned, which resolve misleading SYSLOG and dev-file entries due to memory management issues.
Key words :
menu utilities -> upload/download -> upload save, //sapserv3/general/r3server/abap/note, normal sap memory management, batch jobs switch earlier, dev-file entries occur, sort key + line width, temporary sort files start, sort allocates heap memory, platform-dependent upper limit, reduce abap/heap_area_nondia
