Hi,

1. You can do like this for increase the file size, if you are having more disk space.

1. chfs -a <file size> /usr/sap/<sid>.

2. Other wise delete old log files and release some space for temporary purpose.

Interesting, how did you know what OS he is using ? If this is AIX you are suggesting then that command wouldn't help, it's 'chfs -a size=+<size> /usr/sap/<SID>/'

You'll probably want to clean up your transport directory too which is usually one of the main causes for /usr/sap becoming full. See [Note 41732 - Deletion of data in transport directory.|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/41732]

Hi Mittal,

Make sure the standard reorganization jobs are running in your system.

Check sap note- 16083.
