Hi Mohan,

I assume that your system is in good state. Coming to the free up of hard disk space, you can delete the log files. Navigate to the directory 'oraarch' on your hard disk and keep only the latest files(recent days) and delete older ones.

Ex: D:\oracle\<SID>\oraarch\......

--->Also, if you have forgotten to remove the software dump [IDES softward dump] from your harddisk, you can write it on your CD/DVD and remove the dump. This will give some free space.

---> If you have applied some support patches to your system, you can delete the downloaded files in

D:\usr\sap\trans\EPS\In directory.

--->Ensure that you do not have any traces running on your system. System trace(ST01) or work process(SM50) trace or SQL trace(ST05). If traces are running they create huge no. of logs which consume space.

Hi Mohan,

Agree with vamsi's suggetion. Also, while doing customizations, during applicatoin errors SAP creates core dumps generally of size 2 GB per dump. You can search for these files and delete the same. general path for these files are

/usr/sap/<SID>/work.

In addition to all the above suggestion run the Program vai RSBTCDEL2 via SE38 or SA38 to delete all the batch and old running jobs.Say all the batch jobs older than 7 or 5 days.

This will generate some free space.

Hi Mohan,

You can also delete, all the .old extention files and d*.log files from the work directory which would give you some space.

I think the best for you will be to add a harddisk an move some tablespaces to the new device... that will guarantee the continuity of your test system.
