Garbage Collector 

Purpose

 

The Persistent Garbage Collector is used to identify and delete permanent generated system objects. These are created during configuration and other system activities, and at a later point in time no longer have any business or technical function. These objects include objects from the ABAP and DDIC Repository, and configuration objects that are defined by the SAP applications.

 

You should use the Garbage Collector only if problems occur that are related to generated system or data objects.

 

Integration

The Persistent Garbage Collector is a framework for which SAP applications have to be registered by means of suitable definitions for object types.

 

Features

The Persistent Garbage Collector has the following functions:

-          Identification of obsolete (no longer used) generated objects in the system

-          Provision of a general where-used list for generated objects

-          Navigation for generated and generating object types and objects
