Am using SAP Application and Database, My question is ,

The swap usage remains used at 63% or 64% even though the Memory Utilization is 100% or 95% or 90%

Why the swap usage is not increasing in the system .

My understanding of swap usage is , when More Physical memory being used , automatically system should start using the swap configured in the system , in our case it is configured 61440 Mb , why the system is not utilizing the swap ?
it is always used at 63% or 64%

Thanks in advance
