Summary :
This SAP Note addresses system crashes with an error in the syslog indicating unavailable PERM class storage. It identifies insufficient swap space as the primary cause, suggesting three potential scenarios: correct R/3 configuration but inadequate swap space, remnants of old processes or shared memory segments, or incorrect R/3 configuration consuming excessive swap space. For resolution, increasing the swap space, using commands like 'kill' or 'ipcrm' to clear old processes or segments, and correcting R/3 configurations are recommended. Commands such as 'ipclimits', 'ps -eafl', 'ipcs -ma', and 'sappfpar' are essential for diagnosis and fixing the issue.
