Dear Experts,

Hi,

Hi,

Check the folder \usr\sap\trans\EPS\in\

check some files are inside the EPS\in\ directory or not.

If something is there ,you can delete that.

Could you please mention the database?

If it is oracle make sure that the oraarch files are deleted after the

brarchive (archive backup)

Hello Sunil,

Check the work directory.

As Ruchit mentioned...

Check the work directory... you can remove all the .old files and the old traces; also delete old kernels left in the SYS folder if any.

Hi Sunil

Can you please do a "cd /sapmnt/SID; du -k | sort -n | tail -20" and post it here:

host1:sidadm 79> du -k |sort -n | tail -20
12523   ./global/420JOBLG
12681   ./exe/cfw/lib
14830   ./exe/cfw
21586   ./exe/jkit/jre/bin
23612   ./exe/jkit/jre/lib
27719   ./global
45206   ./exe/jkit/jre
48255   ./exe/jkit
488449  ./exe
516253  .

/sapmnt/SID/exe -> your kernel, do not delete

/sapmnt/SID/global/<MANDT>JOBLG -> Joblogs, if this is very large, you can change the SAP_REORG_JOBS

/sapmnt/SID/profiles -> should not be much in there, just your profiles

@ Ruchit: the work dir is not in /sapmnt/SID

Your root dir / must not fill up, otherwise you will run into serious trouble!!!

Hi Michael,

Hi Sunil

It is the job logs of client 780 filling up your filesystem. Please check if you have the reorg job setup correctly, if you have a lot of old files +30 days, it isn't. More information here: SAP note 16083 - Standard jobs, reorganization jobs

You also can delete the directory exe_101, this is most probably a old kernel backup.

After all 2gb is might be too small, so you will have to increase the filesystem in the long run.

Regards, Michael

@ Ruchit: i might be wrong, but all systems i have seen so far are having the work dir in /usr/sap/SID

host1:sidadm 107> ll -d work
drwxr-xr-x 2 sidadm sapsys 4096 Jan  8 15:01 work
host1:sidadm 108> df -k .
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on

                       2097152   1350880    746272  65% /usr/sap/SID
host1:sidadm 109> pwd
/usr/sap/SID/DVEBMGS00
