our sap is installed in AIX os.

there is a filesystem named /usr/sap/trans/log, I do not know whether I should delete some of the old transport logs. Are these logs deleted by certain ABAP program?

can you give me some advice ?

thanks

Hi Victor

There is a builtin functionality in tp to clean up logs and transport requests. Please have a look at SAP note 41732 - Deletion of data in transport directory

We have systems where with many developers, and therefore a lot of changes. We delete the logs and save the old requests (content of the olddata folder) to a cd periodically.

Best regards

basically that's where the transport logs are stored... transport logs are regularly kept as they are important part of the system history... and beside that they are fairly small files...

I wonder why you want to delete the logs?

because I find the filesystem is used 91%, now I know these logs are very important, so maybe I can enlarge the filesystem

thanks
