Each directory consumes space, so buffers are organized by number of directories and space in KB Buffer Mechanism: 1. User submits the request. 2. The request goes to the database and fetches the content into application server. 3. The content is checked for its eligibility to store in buffer (RZ10/SE13), if it is eligible to store then it occupies directory along with some space, if a relative directory is available then uses the same directory with some space (memory). 4. If the directories are not sufficient the directory overflow occurs and ...
