Introduction To <strong>SAP</strong> R/3 <strong>Basis</strong><br />

-----------------------------------------------------------<br />

R/3 Memory Areas<br />

Users need two kinds of memory:<br />

R/3 buffers<br />

Memory accessible to all users, for:<br />

Programs<br />

Table <strong>and</strong> field definitions<br />

Customizing tables<br />

User context<br />

Memory attached to individual users, for:<br />

Variables, lists, internal tables<br />

Administrative data (such as authorizations)<br />

Physical <strong>and</strong> Virtual Memory<br />

<br />

Unlike physical memory, virtual memory can be allocated. The operating<br />

system determines if the allocated memory area resides in the physical memory<br />

or in the operating system swap space.<br />

Depending on the operation system, the maximum size of the virtual<br />

memory may vary between the size of the operating system swap space <strong>and</strong> the<br />

sum of physical memory <strong>and</strong> operating system swap space.<br />
