Side effects of the /$sync transaction

Hi!

Does anyone know is there any side effects of using the transaction code /$sync, which is cleaning up all buffers?

Personally I'm using it to refresh an ALV table, if it's structure was modified.

But it is applied only for my session's buffers and it will not harm other people and will not kick out other people from the SAP system.

Am I right?

Thank you
