Memory consumption of BSP-application

[martin_schffler]

Is there a tool to see how much memory a BSP-application uses on the application server?

Or even better how the memory consumption changes during requests?

The system i'm on is a WAS6.20.

I browsed a lot of docu already but when it comes to memory consumption i only found ways to display the size of objects in the ABAP debugger. But i am more interested on the memory consumption in relation to the time the application is running (e.g. to see what memory the session takes in a stateful application etc.).

Sure - use the memory inspector. Just set breakpoints where you want to take your memory snapshots. Once in the debugger, choose Development->Memory Analysis->Create Memory Snapshot.

Once done with your snapshots, from the SAPGui you can call Tcode S_MEMORY_INSPECTOR.

This gives you a huge amount of detail as to where you memory is allocated. You can do deltas between different snap shots as well.
