Database space

Hi Gurus,
My client had never used LO cockpit before. I am activating the extract structures for MM. I am aware that filling up lot of set up tables and subsequent process may require lot of database space in the production server. I dont know how big the database is now.
Can someone please guide me regarding this. Whether i need to ask my DBA team to increase the DB memory both in the BW and R/3 production server. I f you have figures of the space it may be of lot of help. Data may run into few million records ( around 10 million).
thanks in advacne
regards
satish

Dear Satish,
You can check the database size and the available space size of a certain SAP system in transaction DB02. If you furthermore select "Object Details" (this is the name in NetWeaver 7.0, in NetWeaver 2004 it is slightly different, as far as I remember) you should be able to check the size of the R/3 tables which you are going to extract.
SE11 could be helpful, too. This transaction tells you which length the table records have. If you multiply the value with the number of records you want to extract, you will get a first impression regarding the space size that will be needed.
I hope that these hints help to answer your question.
Kind regards,
Stefan

How to improve BW database space

Hi, all
I have encountered an issue about BW database space in BW development instance, when I extract data from R3, there is no enough space for uploading the data.
however, I need check BW report with R3 immediately, I'll be very appreciated if anyone can help me.
Furthermore, I have deleted many PSA data loads.
thanks in advance!

Here are some other things that you can do, or have done, to help:
1) Delete Change Logs that are more than 21 days old (or some other aging).
2) Have your Basis DBAs do a reorg on the underlying tables for larger DSOs.
3) Run compression on larger InfoCubes.
4) Archive data that is older than two years (or some other aging).
There are other things you can look at, but will take more time to complete. For example, if you're using the 0EC_PCA_3 DataSource for extracting PCA details, it extracts 3 records (one per currency type - transaction, local and operating concern) for each row of data that's in R3/ECC. Instead of using that DataSource, one could create a generic DataSource based on Function Module to pull 1 record for each record in the table, significantly reducing the amount of data (requires some other actions on the reporting end though so that users can choose which currency they want to report in).

ORACLE DATABASE SPACE USAGE report not showing all databases in 11g

Hi All,
I have scheduled "Oracle Database Space Usage (Group)" report for all databases available in the OEM11g. But in the report i am not able to see all the databases in the group. Can any one please help on this.

We had the same problem in 12c EM. This had to something with "tablespace allocation metric". This metric was disabled for some databases. This could be your case in 11g also. This metalink note might worth seeing .

Database Space Problem

I have one large table that contains 50 columns.
The original table structure:
Key_id | .. .. | Value_1 | Value_2 | ... .. | Value_40 | updated_user | updated_date
The Type of Value_1 ~ Value_40 are 5 digital Integer.
The content of the Value_25 ~ Value_40 are not always filled. In order to save the database space, I use NULL value to represent Empty value instead of 0.
But updated_user and updated_date must be filled when new record added.
I want to know that if I put the updated_user and updated_date in front of the Column Value_1, more space of the Database will be saved or not?
The layout will be like this:
Key_id | .. .. | updated_user | updated_date | Value_1 | Value_2 | ... .. | Value_40
For example, I have a record like this
1234567, .. .. .. , , 45,35,.. .. , NULL, NULL, NULL, ben, 12-jan-2005
if I change to this format:
1234567, .. .. .. , ben, 12-jan-2005, 45,35,.. .. , NULL, NULL, NULL
More space of the Database will be saved or not?
Thank a lot

2nd option saves space as Oracle does not store nulls for trailing null columns

SQL Server Plug-in reports inaccurate Database Space information

I'm trying to track down some inaccuracies I'm seeing in the SQL Server Plug-in for Grid Control. Every database I have on my Database Instance has a Critical alert regarding the Space Available %. For my example, we'll take the 'master' database. it is showing as .81% Space available. My guess is that the plug-in uses the sp_spaceused procedure to get the information. When I run that, I get the following:
database_name: master
database_size: 72.00 MB (This is the size of the database file and the transaction log, 64M + 8M)
unallocated space: 61.34 MB
reserved: 2728 KB
data: 1072 KB
index_size: 1056 KB
unused: 600 KB (Total amount of space reserved for objname but no yet used.)
If you take 600 KB/72MB , you get the .081% available. However, that is not accurate. (I've verified both numbers in the OMS mgmt$metric_hourly view).
I don't think the plug-in's use of the unused value is correct. This is space allocated to objects in the database, but available. I wonder if this metric should be looking at the unallocated_space/database_size rather than the unused piece. This would show this database to have 85.2% available space.
The flaw I see in sp_spaceused is that it is taking into account the database and transaction log as a single unit. Rather than separate entities.

This is erroneous behaviour by the SQL Server plug-in. Please refer to bug 7186134. The bug is planned to be addressed with the newer version of plug-in to be released as part of Plug-in Release Cycle 9 (due for RTM in Dec. '08)

Database space problem during EHP4 installation

hi every body
actually i am upgrading my sap to EHP4 on DEV,
my space assigned for MS SQL database is 125 GB(60gb free) on Windows 2003 ,
but at the preprocessing stage in EHPi it shows error that system needs 108GB of free space on database but i have only 60 .
can any one tell me how is it possible to do this i am stuck here .

Eric,
I've a doubt here. I've come across a SAP note saying that for better performance in SQL database, we should atleast have 1:1 CPU count as that of the datafile count.
If this is the case, we cannot go on adding new datafiles (if we have limited CPU count, say 4) but we should extend the existing datafile or the drive/FS size.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

CCMS: where does CCMS collects the database space information from?

Hi,
We are experiencing a kind of inconsistency in the data that CCMS is collecting for the space tablespaces related MTE's. Here is the thing:
- RZ20 > SAP CCMS Monitoring Templates > Database : will show the PSAPSRQ tablespace at 94% (which is wrong)
- DB02 will show the same tablespace at 88% (which is the correct value)
- BRSPACE will also show the 88% (the correct value)
Note that CCMS is do active and collecting (the value is not obsolete as you can actually see the timestamp being updated for the respective used space MTE).
Do you know why are we seeing this inconsistency? Where does CCMS collect the tablespace information and how often?
Any ideas or help to avoid this inconsistency will be helpful, as basically CCMS is sending us false alerts/emails.
Thanks and regards

Jesus,
I just came across this issue myself after assuming that I was collecting the correct data. The problem is that SAP is collecting the column Total Used (%) in DB02 instead of Used (%). You should see your 94% as reported in CCMS in the Total Used column in DB02.
What we need is the Used (%) column which is much more critical than the Total Used (%).
I have not found an MTE to report this data. Until then, we have to manually check every server for Tablespace levels instead of in our Central CCMS.
If you have a solution, please send.
Thanks,
Jeff

Archiving COPA1 deleted Database space is not the same as what SQL thinks.

I am currently archiving using the object COPA1_xxxx.
I have complete 2 fiscal years worth of data.
The spool files that are produced at the end of the archive runs (write or del) states that i have removed 115GB alltogether.
When my DBA produces a report in SQL server, it states i have only removed 15GB.
I looked in DB02 at the CE1 table (475GB) and there was only 16GB of unused space.
I cannot work out why there is a big difference from what SAP is displaying to what SQL is displaying.
Canyou please help?

The space gained while archiving is not immediatly free to be used for any kind of data. In general it is still allocated for the same data, until you reorganize your database.
However, you said that the size of unused space in DB02 at the CE1 table is still just 16 GB.
When you do the analysis with DB02, set the cursor onto the CE1xxx object and click the button table columns. There you will see a column "Last analyzed".
Is this date after the archive run, or from before?
IF it is younger than the archiving date, I would suggest that you check the table with SE16 to see if the records you have archived are really have been deleted.
I saw cases, where the archiving was done as productive run, but deletion was done with variant for test run.

Free the database space

Hi,
i have deleted the unnecessary data from the table but after deleting also not able vacate the space is there any option for the that i think there is shrink option to do that any error free solution for that
and will analyze table option free the table space

Hi,

Please don't mix two different things . You have already asked this in another thread of yours,

If you are on 11g, you can use shrink so try to execute it and let's see the output.

Database Space Available is Large

I have been testing the rebuild of many fragmented indexes on my database. The rebuild process went well, but after it finished, I found more than 55% space available in the mdf file. I already took full and log backups. Then, I shrank the log file. Before
rebuilding indexes, large portions of data had been removed (almost 26 million records). Should I shrink the database to reduce its size? or this will lead to index fragmentation.
Thanks in advance

Should I shrink the database to reduce its size? or this will lead to
index fragmentation.
Yes, database shrink will cause index fragmentation again, so if you are not low on disk space avaoid it to shrink a database.

Database space after archiving

Hello
I archived quite a lot workitems in ECC HP-UX/Oracle system. I wander however where I can see gained space. probably I have to reorganize table involved in archiving
Thank you in advance

did you check my last post? There is one SQL which will let you know the table with largest space wastage. Could you please run that ? for tables that do not contain LONG or LONG RAW fiels you can reorganize via brtools. But if a table contains LONG or LONG RAW field then you have to do export /import method.
Please also find the SQL below.
SELECT * FROM
(SELECT
SUBSTR(TABLE_NAME, 1, 21) TABLE_NAME,
NUM_ROWS,
AVG_ROW_LEN ROWLEN,
BLOCKS,
ROUND((AVG_ROW_LEN + 1) * NUM_ROWS / 1000000, 0) NET_MB,
ROUND(BLOCKS * (8000 - 23 * INI_TRANS) *
(1 - PCT_FREE / 100) / 1000000, 0) GROSS_MB,
ROUND((BLOCKS * (8000 - 23 * INI_TRANS) * (1 - PCT_FREE / 100) -
(AVG_ROW_LEN + 1) * NUM_ROWS) / 1000000) "WASTED_MB"
FROM DBA_TABLES
WHERE
NUM_ROWS IS NOT NULL AND
OWNER LIKE 'SAP%' AND
PARTITIONED = 'NO' AND
(IOT_TYPE != 'IOT' OR IOT_TYPE IS NULL)
ORDER BY 7 DESC)
WHERE ROWNUM <=50;
If you need top 50 tables, you can run that, else you can change the number in the last line for top 10, 20 and so on tables.

How can I see only new topics from selected spaces on one page?

Just wondering how can I do the subj.
For instance, Im interested only in Database space, and only in several sub-spaces like high availability, upgrade, general.
So, I would like to see new topics only from these areas on single page. how can I do this?
Currently, in order to check for new questions, I need every time to go to every space, then select sub-space, go back, select another subspace. This is very inconvenient, slow and takes server resources as well.
Regards
Ed

Best practice for storing price of an item in database ?

In the UK we call sales tax, VAT, which is currently 17.5%
I store the ex-VAT price in the database
I store the current VAT rate for the UK as an application variable (VAT rate is set to change here in the UK in January)
Whenever the website display the price of an item (which includes VAT), it takes the ex-VAT price and adds the VAT dynamically.
I have a section in the website called 'Personal Shopper' which will happily search for goods in a fixed priced range eg. one link is under £20, another is £20-£50
This means my search query has to perform the VAT calculation for each item. Is this practice normal, or is it better to have a database column that stores the price including VAT ?

I'm also based in the UK, and this is what we do:
In our Products table, we store a Product Price excluding VAT and a VAT rate ID, which is joined off to a VAT Rates table. Therefore in order to calculate selling price yes, this is done at the SQL level when querying back data. To store the net, vat and gross amounts would be to effectively duplicate data, hence is evil. It also means that come January we only have to update that one row in one table, and the whole site is fixed.
However.
When someone places an order, we store the product id, net amount, vat code id, vat amount and vat percentage. That way there's never any issue with changing VAT codes in your VAT codes table, as that'll only affect live prices being shown on your website. For ever more whenever pulling back old order data you have the net amount, vat amount and vat percentage all hard-coded in your orders line to avoid any confusion.
I've even seen TAS Books get confused after a VAT change where in some places on an order it recalculates from live data and in others displays stored data, and there have been discrepancies.
I've seen many people have issues with tax changes before, and as database space is so cheap I'd always just store it against an order as a point-in-time snapshot.
