Description
Error 1795, ERR_SHM_CREATE_EXCEED_LIMIT, indicates that the SAP S/4HANA system has attempted to allocate shared memory but has hit a system-wide limit.

Error Message
ERR_SHM_CREATE_EXCEED_LIMIT: Exceed the system-wide limit on shared memory
Known Causes
4 known causesInsufficient OS Configuration
The operating system's shared memory parameters are set too low for the demands of the SAP S/4HANA instance, leading to resource exhaustion.
High Concurrent Workload
A large number of active users or resource-intensive background jobs are consuming shared memory, causing the system to reach its configured limits.
Improper SAP Profile Parameters
SAP-specific profile parameters (e.g., related to shared memory segments) are not optimally configured, restricting available shared memory.
Application Memory Leaks
Faulty application programs or custom developments are not releasing shared memory segments correctly, gradually depleting the available pool.
