Summary :
This SAP Note provides guidelines for configuring R/3 Systems with high RAM capacities, particularly above 2 GB, on UNIX platforms. It addresses the inefficiencies caused by 32-bit architectures and the transition to 64-bit systems. Key recommendations include using the latest R/3 kernel patch, ensuring adequate swap space (3-4 times the RAM size), understanding the implications of shared versus local memory management, and the benefits of shifting to 64-bit technology which supports considerably larger address spaces and simplifies memory management. Specific configurations are discussed for Compaq Tru64 UNIX, SOLARIS, and AIX environments with version details and associated kernels.
