Large Number of Spool files on Production Server

Former Member

Morning,

We are currently well into an SAP installation with a projected "Go Live" date of early September.

We're running in an IBM AS400/DB2 environment.

Our Production box is not yet in use, but we're seeing thousands upon thousands of spool files being created.

SAP Note 1252258 describes our issue perfectly.

On this note, it explains that we have to check the patch level of 4 programs.

With this being the result for all 4:

Build Time Stamp 2009/13/15 13:02:47

File Version: 7000, 236, 17, 6922

Product Version: 700, patch 236, changelist 1121034

Platform: os400 for releases OS400 3 5, OS400 4 5, OS400 1 6

Special Build Description: OPT (Dec 11 2009, 21:02:09) (ASCII in PASE ASCII build)

Our untrained eyes are not convinced this information is telling us what we need to know.

Can anyone help please?

If I've posted this in the wrong category I apologise in advance.

Thanks

Hi,

Firstly check in your system if the standard job SAP_REORG_SPOOL which will delete the old spool files and this job needs to be scheduled in background on daily basis. Regarding the note its asking to check the patch levels of files which you can check at the os level in kernel directory. I am not much aware of AS400 directory structure, but normally kernle path could be /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run, /usr/sap/<SID>/DVEBMGS00/exe. In these path u can find the patch levels of the files.
