Use

You can manage the space on your Oracle database with BR*Tools

Note

This section describes how you manage space with BR*Tools.

For more information on the approach to manage space, see Space Management.

Integration
  • BRGUI or BRTOOLS calls the SAP tool BRSPACE. You can also perform space management by calling BRSPACE from the command line. However, unless you choose batch mode with the option -c force, BRSPACE displays menus to help you enter the required options.

    Recommendation

    We recommend you to normally use BRGUI or BRTOOLS rather than BRSPACE directly. This is because the menus in BRGUI or BRTOOLS simplify entry of the correct options.

  • If required, set parameters to control the screen display for BRSPACE in the Initialization Profile init<DBSID>.sap. These are scroll_lines and show_period.

Features

You can perform the following functions for space management with BR*Tools:

  • Extend tablespace

  • Create tablespace
