Adapting Next Extents with BR*Tools 

Use

You can adapt the next extents for tables in your Oracle database with BR*Tools. The aim is to avoid extent overflow, which causes transactions to abort.

For more information, see Adapt Next Extents with BRCONNECT.

Prerequisites

·        Make sure you have set the necessary BRCONNECT parameters in the initialization profile init<DBSID>.sap, because BRTOOLS uses these when it calls BRCONNECT.

·        The database must be open.
