• Key Concepts: 
  Shared Garbage Collection is a feature of the BC-VMC Virtual Machine Container (VMC) in SAP. It is a memory management system that helps to reduce the amount of memory used by applications running on the VMC. It works by collecting and freeing up unused memory, which can then be reused by other applications. This helps to improve the overall performance of the system.
  
  How to use it: 
  Shared Garbage Collection can be enabled in the VMC settings. Once enabled, it will automatically collect and free up unused memory, allowing other applications to use it. It is important to note that this feature should only be enabled when necessary, as it can cause performance issues if used too often.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to monitor the performance of the system when Shared Garbage Collection is enabled. If there are any noticeable performance issues, it may be necessary to disable the feature or adjust its settings. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all applications running on the VMC are optimized for Shared Garbage Collection.
