Memory allocation in transaction SM52 shows 100%.


You might find in work process trace file (dev_w<xx>):

This means that the Shared Pool (the global memory area of the VMC which only exists once) was exhausted and the Shared Garbage Collector could not free enough space to continue the normal VMC behaviour.

There can also be created a VM_STACK_TRACE dump, showing OutOfSharedMemoryError:
