SAP Memory Parameters Are Incorrectly Configured

Module: BASIS / Memory

What this means

STORAGE_PARAMETERS_WRONG_SET is a system-level dump indicating that the SAP instance's memory configuration parameters are inconsistent, contradictory, or set to values that make it impossible for the work process to allocate the memory it needs. This is a configuration problem, not an application problem. It typically occurs after: a manual change to the SAP profile (DEFAULT.PFL, instance profile) sets conflicting memory values; an automated sizing tool generates recommendations that are not applied consistently; or a system migration changes hardware resources without corresponding profile updates.

Recommended Fix

Check RZ11 for all memory-related parameters (em/initial_size_in_MB, rdisp/ROLL_MAXFS, rdisp/PG_MAXFS, abap/heap_area_total). Compare against SAP's sizing guidelines for the hardware and user count. Common issue: em/initial_size_in_MB is set larger than available physical RAM. Use the SAP Memory Management documentation (note 103747) as the reference for consistent parameter relationships. After changes, restart the instance.
