5.

Which of the following types of RFC calls guarantees multiple communications steps in a specific order? Choose the correct answer
- Asynchronous RFC
- Transactional RFC
- Synchronous RFC
- Queued RFC
Correct Answer

A. Queued RFC

Explanation

Queued RFC calls guarantee multiple communication steps in a specific order. In a Queued RFC, the system queues the RFC request and processes it in the order it was received. This ensures that the steps are executed sequentially, maintaining the desired order of communication. Asynchronous RFC does not guarantee a specific order as it allows parallel processing. Transactional RFC ensures atomicity and consistency but not a specific order. Synchronous RFC also does not guarantee a specific order as it waits for a response before proceeding.

Table buffering is recommended for which of the following scenarios ? Choose 2 correct answers.
- Tables that are seldom changed.
- Large tables that are often accessed.
- Customizing data.
- Transaction data.
Correct Answer(s)

A. Tables that are seldom changed.
A. Customizing data.

Explanation

Table buffering is recommended for tables that are seldom changed and customizing data. Table buffering helps to improve the performance of accessing data from these tables by storing the data in the buffer memory. This reduces the need to read the data from the database every time it is accessed, resulting in faster data retrieval. For tables that are seldom changed, table buffering can be beneficial as it allows for quicker access to the data without the need to constantly update the buffer. Similarly, for customizing data that is not frequently modified, table buffering can enhance performance by reducing the database access time.

What happens when a buffered table is updated by an SQL request? There are 2 correct answers to this question.
- The database is updated and the buffer of the current application server is invalidated.
- Changes are written to table DDLOG, which is read at a certain interval to invalidate the buffered content on the other application servers.
- The buffered table is updated at all application servers and the database is updated afterward asynchronously by report DDLOG.
- Changes are written to table DDLOG, which is read at a certain interval to update the content of the database.
Correct Answer(s)

A. The database is updated and the buffer of the current application server is invalidated.
A. Changes are written to table DDLOG, which is read at a certain interval to invalidate the buffered content on the other application servers.

Explanation

When a buffered table is updated by an SQL request, the first correct answer states that the database is updated and the buffer of the current application server is invalidated. This means that the changes made to the table are immediately reflected in the database, and the buffer in the current application server is cleared to ensure that the most up-to-date data is retrieved. The second correct answer explains that the changes are written to table DDLOG, which is periodically read to invalidate the buffered content on the other application servers. This ensures that all application servers have the latest data by periodically updating their buffers based on the changes recorded in table DDLOG.

When should you usually switch on table buffering? There is 1 correct answers to this question.
- If the table is larger than 1MB.
- If the table experiences many invalidations.
- If the table is already buffered in the database buffer.
- If the table is frequently accessed.
Correct Answer

A. If the table is frequently accessed.

Explanation

Table buffering is a technique used to improve the performance of frequently accessed tables by storing them in the memory buffer. When a table is frequently accessed, enabling table buffering can help reduce the number of disk reads, resulting in faster response times. Therefore, the correct answer is that table buffering should be switched on if the table is frequently accessed.

When you run transaction Table Call Statistics (ST10), which of the following indicates that a table should be unbuffered? There are 3 correct answers to this question
- Tables with a high number of invalidations
- Tables with a high number of "Rows affected"
- Tables with a large buffer size
- Tables with buffer state 'pending'
- Tables with more direct reads than sequential reads
Correct Answer(s)

A. Tables with a high number of invalidations
A. Tables with a high number of "Rows affected"
A. Tables with a large buffer size

Explanation

When running transaction Table Call Statistics (ST10), a high number of invalidations, a high number of "Rows affected," and a large buffer size all indicate that a table should be unbuffered. Invalidations occur when data in the table is changed, which can cause performance issues if the table is buffered. "Rows affected" refers to the number of rows that are modified or accessed, which can also cause performance issues if the table is buffered. A large buffer size indicates that the table is consuming a significant amount of memory, which may be unnecessary if the table is not frequently accessed.

A. If it is an SAP work process, you compare the process ID (PID) to the list of transactions in SM50 to find out what activity is causing the load.

Explanation

To identify the root cause of the process with high CPU utilization, there are two next steps to consider. Firstly, if it is a database process, the database monitor (ST04) can be used to analyze if the activity can be optimized or scheduled for a different time. Secondly, if it is an SAP work process, comparing the process ID (PID) to the list of transactions in SM50 can help determine the specific activity causing the high load. These steps will help in identifying and addressing the root cause of the high CPU utilization.

In transaction Operating System Monitor (ST06) you detect that CPU idle value on a server, with dedicated resources, is often below 20%. How should you investigate this situation? There are 2 correct answers to this question
- Check if load can be distributed to other servers with spare CPU capacity
- Check the 'Top 40 CPU Processes' in transaction Operating System Monitor (ST06(n)).
- Check that there are enough Dialog work processes configured on the instance(s) on that server.
- Perform a detailed analysis of the memory configuration of the SAP system.
Correct Answer(s)

A. Check if load can be distributed to other servers with spare CPU capacity
A. Check the 'Top 40 CPU Processes' in transaction Operating System Monitor (ST06(n)).

Explanation

To investigate the situation of CPU idle value often being below 20%, you should check if the load can be distributed to other servers with spare CPU capacity. This would help balance the workload and alleviate the strain on the server in question. Additionally, you should also check the 'Top 40 CPU Processes' in transaction Operating System Monitor (ST06(n)) to identify any specific processes consuming excessive CPU resources.

In transaction Operating System Monitor (STDG) in an ABAP-only system, how can you recognize a memory bottleneck? There are 2 correct answers to this question.
- In a Unix system, more than 20% of RAM paged out/ swapped out per hour.
- In a Windows system, more than 20% of RAM paged out per hour.
- In a Unix system, more than 20% of RAM paged in / swapped in per hour.
- In a Windows system, more than 25% of RAM paged in per hour.
Correct Answer(s)

A. In a Unix system, more than 20% of RAM paged out/ swapped out per hour.
A. In a Windows system, more than 25% of RAM paged in per hour.

Explanation

A memory bottleneck can be recognized in a Unix system when more than 20% of RAM is paged out or swapped out per hour. This indicates that the system is constantly moving data between RAM and disk, which can slow down the overall performance. In a Windows system, a memory bottleneck can be identified when more than 25% of RAM is paged in per hour. This suggests that the system is frequently loading data from disk into RAM, which can also impact the system's performance.

You suspect that there is an issue with the network connection from the application layer to the presentation layer. Which check do you perform in which transaction?
- LAN check by ping in transaction Operating System Monitor (ST06(n)).
- Trace, in transaction Single Transaction Analysis (ST12).
- Connection test in Work Process Overview (SM5O/SM66).
- Trace, in transaction Single Transaction Analysis (ST12).
- Check Cursor Cache in transaction DBA Cockpit (DBACOCKPIT).
Correct Answer

A. LAN check by ping in transaction Operating System Monitor (ST06(n)).

Explanation

In order to determine if there is an issue with the network connection from the application layer to the presentation layer, you would perform a LAN check by ping. This can be done in the transaction Operating System Monitor (ST06(n)). This check allows you to test the connectivity between different layers of the network and identify any potential issues or delays.

In which sequence do dialog work processes allocate memory
- Extended memory, Remaining part of roll area, Heap memory and Initial part of roll area,
- Extended memory, Heap memory, Initial part of roll area and Remaining part of roll area
- Initial part of roll area, Extended memory, Heap memory and Remaining part of roll area
- Initial part of roll area, Extended memory, Remaining part of roll area and Heap memory
Correct Answer

A. Initial part of roll area, Extended memory, Remaining part of roll area and Heap memory

Explanation

In the given sequence, dialog work processes first allocate memory in the initial part of the roll area, then in the extended memory, followed by the remaining part of the roll area, and finally in the heap memory. This sequence ensures that memory is allocated in a systematic manner, starting with the roll area and then moving on to the extended memory and heap memory. This order helps in efficient memory management and allocation for dialog work processes.

Which of the following areas of an instance’s shared memory have corresponding files on the instance the user is logged on to? 2 right
- Roll buffer
- System buffer
- Dialog buffer
- Paging buffer
- Server buffer
Correct Answer(s)

A. Roll buffer
A. Paging buffer

Explanation

The correct answer is Roll buffer and Paging buffer. The Roll buffer and Paging buffer are areas of an instance's shared memory that have corresponding files on the instance the user is logged on to. These buffers are used for temporary storage and management of data during database operations. The Roll buffer is used for storing undo logs, while the Paging buffer is used for storing data pages that are read from or written to disk.

Where and when is ABAP heap memory allocated?
- In the local memory of the work process, when required
- In the server memory of the work process, when required
- In the system memory of the work process, when required
- In the shared memory of the work process, when required
Correct Answer

A. In the local memory of the work process, when required

Explanation

ABAP heap memory is allocated in the local memory of the work process when required. This means that when a program or process in ABAP requires memory to store data, it will allocate that memory in the local memory of the work process. This memory is specific to that particular work process and is not shared with other processes or programs. The allocation happens dynamically as and when required, allowing for efficient memory usage.

Why are parts of user contexts stored in SM50 (extended?) memory instead of local memory of a system?
- To speed up context switches (roll-in/ roll-out)
- To speed up context switches (dialog time/ roll-out)
- To speed up context switches (roll-in/ enqueue time)
- To speed up context switches (roll-in/ processing time)
Correct Answer

A. To speed up context switches (roll-in/ roll-out)

Explanation

Parts of user contexts are stored in SM50 (extended) memory instead of local memory of a system to speed up context switches during roll-in and roll-out processes. Storing user contexts in SM50 memory allows for faster retrieval and loading of the necessary data when a context switch occurs, improving the overall efficiency and performance of the system.

What does Zero administration management do? 2 right
- It allows the extended memory to grow dynamically
- It allows other memory management parameters to be set automatically
- It allows you identify your SAP Technology release (Software component SAP_BASIS and SAP Kernel).
- Identify your Operating System (OS) release
- Search the notes database using the following or similar search term combinations
Correct Answer(s)

A. It allows the extended memory to grow dynamically
A. It allows other memory management parameters to be set automatically

Explanation

Zero administration management allows the extended memory to grow dynamically, meaning that it automatically adjusts the amount of memory allocated to a system based on its needs. It also allows other memory management parameters to be set automatically, further simplifying the management of memory in a system. These features help to reduce the need for manual intervention and administration in managing memory, making the system more efficient and easier to maintain.
