The limitation of Virtual Memory

[Former Member]

hi all.....

When exporting the huge data volume to excel, the process always terminated by time-out and dumps error.

I read a lots of post and SAP notes. I found the root cause of lacking of memory. I have 8GB memory on OS.The limitation of virtual memory in each process is 3GB after activating 3GB opotion in boot.ini, is that rigt?

If I want to use more than 3GB, I should upgrad to 64 bit machine, is that right?

OS : windows 2000 advanceed server on 32 bit

Physical memory : 8GB

yup, go with 64-bit... or export with smaller data sets.

just install additional dialog instance for your SAP system on any 64-bit platform as Eric said....
