• Key Concepts: 
  Paging is a memory management technique used in SAP systems to manage memory efficiently. It is used to store and retrieve data from main memory to secondary storage. It works by dividing the main memory into fixed-sized blocks called pages, and then storing the data in these pages. When a program needs to access data, it can quickly locate the page containing the data and retrieve it from the secondary storage. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP systems, paging is used to manage memory efficiently. It works by dividing the main memory into fixed-sized blocks called pages, and then storing the data in these pages. When a program needs to access data, it can quickly locate the page containing the data and retrieve it from the secondary storage. This helps reduce the amount of time needed to access data, as well as reduce the amount of memory needed for storing data. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using paging in SAP systems, it is important to ensure that the page size is appropriate for the amount of data being stored. If the page size is too small, then there will be too many pages and this will lead to increased overhead when accessing data. On the other hand, if the page size is too large, then there will be fewer pages but more wasted space in each page.
