What is PRIV mode in SAP BC-CST-MM - Memory Management?


SAP Term: PRIV mode

  • Component: BC-CST-MM

  • Component Name: Memory Management

  • Description: Status a work process switches to after it has allocated PRIV memory. The PRIV mode prevents the user context from being hidden from the work process when, for example the user is inactive. This use of the PRIV memory leads to an exclusive occupancy of the dialog work process by the user and prevents up until the end of the transaction currently running the work process from processing another user context. Neither can the user context currently in the occupied work process be processed by another work process.

  • Key Concepts: 
    PRIV mode is a memory management feature in SAP's BC-CST-MM component. It allows users to create private memory areas that are not accessible to other users. This ensures that each user has their own private memory area, which can be used for storing data and objects without the risk of interference from other users. 
    
    How to use it: 
    To use PRIV mode, users must first create a private memory area. This can be done by using the SAP Memory Management (SMM) tool. Once the private memory area has been created, users can then store data and objects in it. The data and objects stored in the private memory area will only be accessible to the user who created it. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When using PRIV mode, it is important to remember that the data and objects stored in the private memory area will not be visible to other users. Therefore, it is important to ensure that all data and objects stored in the private memory area are properly secured and protected from unauthorized access. 
    
    Related Information:
