xxx kilo bytes of shared memory for PXA not available.What happened?
When starting the R/3 System, 300000 Kbytes of storage space
was required for the ABAP/4 program buffer (PXA), but this
was not available.The system was started as an emergency system and is not fully
operational.
It is intended only for display and to eliminate errors.
Under no circumstances should it be used for production

Solution
Referring to SAP Note 307976, increase the parameter abap/buffersize (default set to 300000KB). Restart the system. In our case, we have increased the parameter to 600000KB and no more error generate afterwards.
