Online Index Creation

This feature is only available when monitoring the local SAPsystem.

You find it in the DBA Cockpit under Start of the navigation path Configuration Next navigation step SAP Configuration End of the navigation path. This feature allows indexes to be built without blocking modifications to the table. SAP has implemented a flag, which tells the Data Dictionary to use the new online index creation method when building indexes. This screen shows for the local SAPsystem whether this flag is set or not. There is also a button to switch the flag on or off.
