• SAP Tcode: /GC1/START - Garbage Collector Run

  
  Overview:
  The SAP transaction code /GC1/START is used to initiate a Garbage Collector Run. This run is used to clean up the memory of the SAP system, freeing up resources and improving system performance. 
  
  Functionality: 
  The Garbage Collector Run is an automated process that runs in the background of the SAP system. It searches for objects that are no longer needed and deletes them, freeing up memory and resources. This helps to improve system performance and reduce the risk of errors due to memory overload. 
  
  Step-by-step How to Use: 
  To initiate a Garbage Collector Run, enter the transaction code /GC1/START in the command field. The Garbage Collector Run will then start automatically. Once it has finished, a log will be generated which can be viewed for further information. 
  
  Other Recommendations: 
  It is recommended that a Garbage Collector Run is performed regularly, as this will help to keep the SAP system running smoothly and efficiently. It is also important to ensure that all users are logged out of the system before initiating a Garbage Collector Run, as this will ensure that all objects are deleted correctly.
