Hi Amaya,

Check if your /usr/sap/trans mounted separately? Because most of the size issues arises from 'trans' directory.

Its safe to delete only log files.

Hope this helps.

Hello Ameya,

You can deleted the following files

E:\usr\sap\RQ2\DVEBMGS00\data stat file - empty it.

/eps/in - backup

E:\usr\sap\RQ2\DVEBMGS00\work - old trace file

rsbtcdel2

rsbtcdel

rsbdcreo

rsbdcdel - work dir.

rsts0024 - orphaned files

rspo0041 - spool

rspo1041 - spool

Workflow

SWU9 u2013 show the files

SWU10 - you can delete the files

SW08 u2013 you can start or stop the trace for the workflow

swu10 RSWTTR02 - workflow log Eg. : WF_LOG_000000064049_210

You can remove the application and dialog step statistics in data folder.

You can also remove the same from transaction ST03N->Expert mode->Collector and Performance DB

->Statistics Records & file -> Delete file

In work folder, you can nullify the core file, .nfsXXXX files, old dev_w*.

You nullify files with command cat /dev/null > file name.

You can also remove folder archive from path /usr/sap/<SID>/<inst>/j2ee/cluster/serverX/log

You can also remove old default and applicaiton trace from /usr/sap/<SID>/<inst>/j2ee/cluster/serverX/log.

Not only in work folder,wherever core file si present you can remvoe them.

And in global folder in path /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/global, if any XXXspool or XXXJOB log is large,

you can remvoe old job logs and spool logs in txn SE38.Run reports RSPO0041 for removing

old spool and rsbtcdel and rsbtcdel2 for removing old job logs.

search for any *.sar or *.car file, you can delete that too. Ask unix to add more space to it if you are not in a position to delete anything more.
