Cleaning Up the Transport Directory 

Use

Over time, a large number of potentially large files can accumulate in the subdirectories cofiles , data , and log of the global transport directory. These contain important information, but they also require space and become obsolete.

Procedure

  1. To generate a list of all deletable files in these directories, enter the command tp check all . Files are considered deletable when the accompanying request is not marked for import into an SAP System. This list is generated in subdirectory tmp and can be read.
  2. To delete files from the subdirectories cofiles , log , and olddata , and to move files from the subdirectory data to the subdirectory olddata , enter the command tp clearold all . (This command works using the list generated in step 1.)

For more information on the parameters for these commands, see Transport Profile. To get the current values, use the command tp showparams <sapsid> .
