Summary :
The SAP Note addresses the "SYSTEM_IMODE_TOO_LARGE" runtime error which arises when an internal session attempts to utilize more than 2 GB of main memory due to the utilization of signed 32-bit variables. To resolve this, SAP_BASIS 6.20 Support Package 38 and subsequent releases allow sessions to exceed these limits, leveraging 64-bit hardware capabilities. The note details steps for managing memory, using tools like the "Memory Inspector," and emphasizes proper application usage and memory management techniques to avoid such errors. Support is limited for configurations exceeding 2 GB up to releases 6.10, with certain kernel patches required for stability improvements beyond these restraints.
