There are the following new features in SAP Web Application Server (SAP Web AS) Release 6.40.

·        New SAP tool for administration of Oracle databases, BRSPACE, which you can use for:

¡        Instance Management

¡        Space Management

¡        Segment Management

Note

We are no longer delivering SAPDBA.

The following applies to BRSPACE:

¡        BRSPACE is part of BR*Tools and replaces the SAPDBA functions that have not so far been replaced by other BR*Tools.

¡        As of SAP Web Application Server 6.40, SAPDBA is no longer being released.

¡        You can continue to use SAPDBA 6.20 linked to Oracle 9i with SAP Web AS 6.40. However, we strongly recommend you to only use BR*Tools instead.

¡        BR*Tools 6.40, including BRSPACE can be used for all SAP Releases based on Oracle 9i.

¡        For more information on BR*Tools, see the following SAP Notes:
