Display Area Functions 

 

In the screen area for displaying memory snapshots or comparisons, the following functions are available:

·        In the Memory Snapshot field, you can specify a different memory snapshot or a comparison of two memory snapshots to be displayed.

·        In the View field, you can select the type of display. The options are:

¡        Overview

¡        Ranking List

¡        Ranking List by Type

¡        Object Cycles

¡        System Memory

·        In the Display Filter fields, you can specify the maximum number of simultaneously displayed memory objects for the valid memory object categories in the current view. When you enter a number, you must confirm your entry with Enter. The setting locally applies to the view and the memory snapshot currently displayed

·        The display filter limits the number of simultaneously displayed memory objects of the relevant type. You can use the context menu of the superordinate node in the tree to scroll through the existing number of memory objects, if this number exceeds the value set for the display filter. The menu entries Goto Start, Scroll Back, Scroll Forward, and Goto End are available for this purpose.

·        If the Memory Inspector was started from the ABAP Debugger for the current program, you can navigate from the Memory Inspector back to the Debugger to display specific memory objects and analyze them more closely. To do so, choose Display in Debugger in the context menu for the relevant node. In the Debugger, you must then choose Enter once to display the memory object selected in the Memory Inspector.

This function is not available for the memory object types programs, types of anonymous memory objects, object cycles, and system memory.

·        The memory objects within a view are always organized in descending order starting with the left-most memory value. You can also use the Change Sorting function to sort the objects according to other memory values. To do so, select the relevant columns in the tree and choose the function from the toolbar. When sorting, the system only takes the currently expanded branches into account.

·        You can use the function Find in Display to search within the currently displayed memory objects. The search function currently ignores memory objects that are not displayed due to a display filter.
