    Wich of the following SQL statements types always bypass the SAP table buffers?

    • A.

      "Select Distinct" statements

    • B.

      Open SQL statements

    • C.

      "Select Single" statements

    • D.

      Native SQL statements

    • E.

      "Select for Update" statements

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. "Select Distinct" statements
    D. Native SQL statements
    E. "Select for Update" statements
    Explanation
    "Select Distinct" statements, Native SQL statements, and "Select for Update" statements always bypass the SAP table buffers. The "Select Distinct" statement retrieves only unique values from a table, and since it does not require any buffering, it bypasses the table buffers. Native SQL statements allow direct interaction with the database, bypassing any buffering mechanisms. "Select for Update" statements lock the selected rows for update, bypassing the table buffers to ensure data consistency. Therefore, these three types of SQL statements always bypass the SAP table buffers.

    • A.

      To speed up context switches (roll in/ roll out)

    • B.

      To decrease the sizer of the work porcess's local memory

    • C.

      To prevent buffer swaps

    • D.

      To prevent operating system paging

    Correct Answer
    A. To speed up context switches (roll in/ roll out)
    Explanation
    Parts of user context are stored in extended memory instead of local memory to speed up context switches. Context switches involve saving the current state of a process and loading the saved state of another process. By storing the user context in extended memory, the switching process becomes faster as the data can be accessed more efficiently. This helps in improving the overall performance of the system by reducing the time taken for context switches.

    Where and when is ABAP heap memory allocated?

    • A.

      In teh local memory of the work process, when the work process is started

    • B.

      In teh local memory of the work process, when required

    • C.

    • D.

      In shared memory, when the system started

    Correct Answer
    B. In teh 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 the memory is allocated dynamically as needed during the execution of the program. The work process is responsible for managing its own local memory and allocating heap memory when necessary to store data and objects. This allows for efficient memory usage as memory is only allocated when it is actually needed, and it is deallocated when it is no longer required.

    • C.

      An insuficient number of free work processes

    • D.

      Amemory bottleneck on the database server

    Correct Answer
    A. An insufficient size of SAP buffers
    Explanation
    The high average of dialog work processes in the transaction workload monitor (ST03N) suggests that there may be an insufficient size of SAP buffers. SAP buffers are used to store frequently accessed data in memory, reducing the need for frequent access to the database. If the buffers are too small, the system may spend more time retrieving data from the database, causing high average dialog work processes.

    3. SWAPS in transaction ST02 are an indication of high CPU utilization. Determine whether this statement is true or false.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    This statement is false. SWAPS in transaction ST02 are not necessarily an indication of high CPU utilization. SWAPS, also known as page swaps or paging, occur when the operating system moves data from the main memory (RAM) to the secondary storage (hard disk) to free up space in RAM. This is done when the RAM is full or when the operating system decides to optimize memory usage. SWAPS can occur due to various reasons, such as insufficient RAM, memory leaks, or high memory usage by other processes. It is not directly related to CPU utilization.

    1. Virtual memory is made up of OS swap or page file and physical memory components. Determine whether this statement is true or false.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    This statement is true. Virtual memory is indeed made up of the operating system's swap or page file and physical memory components. The swap or page file is a portion of the hard drive that the operating system uses as an extension of physical memory. It allows the operating system to temporarily store data that is not currently being used by programs in physical memory. When the data is needed again, it can be swapped back into physical memory. This helps to optimize memory usage and allows for efficient multitasking.
