Cannot delete "logs without sessions" in SM35 - TemSe error

[Former Member]

Hi

We are trying to delete (reorganize) some sessions in SM35 by selecting 'logs' in the Delete Section. However, several cannot be deleted - it says 'TemSe' error.

We can see these are the "Logs without sessions".

If we double click to bring up more details we get:

TemSe: I/O error

Message no. TS004

Diagnosis

An input/output error occurred ("RSTSEIO").

System response

Processing was terminated.

Procedure

Check the system log. This message is frequently due to:

the data base being stopped or

insufficient space in a table used by TemSe.

- some of these are very old entries (SM35 sessions from years ago).

Have tried doing a TemSe consistency check but this is a very large system and it times out.

How can we clear these out?

Regards

Yes, Nelis is right... you can change the parameter rdisp/max_wprun_time to 0 (no timeout) dynamically in RZ11 and then run the consistency check and the delete the inconsistecies. Then set the parameter back to the previous value.

You can do an inconsistency check in the background using report RSTS0020, although it won't allow you to delete anything. For deletion you must either run it online, increase your rdisp/max_wprun_time to stop it from timing out OR run report RSTS0030.

Check Note 48400 - Reorganization of TemSe and Spool for further information.

Thanks guys.

Not sure how to use RSTS0030 - there appears to be no way to select individual entries once the list has been displayed, and clicking 'delete selected' doesn't do anything...

However, we have managed to clear these by doing the following:

Go to the "Logs without sessions" tab. Double click on each item and make a note of the TemSe ID.

Now open a new session (don't close this one) and run transaction SP12. Select Goto-> TemSe contents from the menu and enter the TemSe ID from before. Make sure that the date is set to a valid date. Click 'list objects'. Select the object and click 'delete'.

Now go back to your SM35 screen. Come back out so you are on the 'logs without sessions' tab then right click and choose to APQL consistency. It might take quite a long while to bring up.

Search for the TemSe ID(s) in the list, click the tick box for each one, and then delete selections.

Go back and they should have gone (may need to refresh).
