Recommendation
Refer to the SAP CC 2022 Application Help for more information about the system landscape architecture and the deployments of SAP Convergent Charging.
SAP CC Session Database supports the Oracle and Oracle RAC database technologies.
The edition of the Session database corresponds to an enterprise edition which ensures high performances, high-volume data management, and high-availability (HA) feature.
SAP Convergent Charging defines some reserved spaces named tablespaces on one or multiple disks where the database systems store data objects like database tables and database indexes. This optimizes the storage of data in the database systems of the Session Database.
You create this reserved storage spaces and define a maximum size, an initial size and other options like the minimum size of each subelement into a tablespace.
SAP Convergent Charging provides advanced functions to ensure the highest level of performance (high volume, very high end-to-end throughput and latency) and high availability.
