gsoekirno — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 14:11:03 +0000

Q: We are out of space on /usr/sap/trans directory. I do not know what to do. I’ve been deleted all transported list from STMS, but the file system still full.

Answer:

Hi, you should do transport directory clean-up from file system, at least once a month.

To do that, please follow this:

1. Go to operating system and logon using user adm

2. Run: cd /usr/sap/trans/bin

3. Run: tp check all pf=TP_DOMAIN_.PFL

4. Run: tp clearold all pf=TP_DOMAIN_.PFL

This will move more than 6 months file from /usr/sap/trans/data to /usr/sap/trans/olddata

and also will delete more than 1 year ../cofiles and ../logs

ADD / EDIT:

SQL> alter system set “”= scope=spfile;

example: SQL> alter system set “OPTIMIZER_INDEX_COST_ADJ”=10 scope=spfile;

DELETE:

SQL> alter system reset “” scope = spfile sid = ‘*’;

exampler: SQL> alter system reset “_push_join_predicate” scope = spfile sid = ‘*’;
