Hi Sai,

Whenever you issue a command in UNIX, it creates or starts a new process.

ps -ef | grep <sid>adm --> you can see all running <sid>adm owner process(SAP Process).

ps -ef | grep ora<sid> --> you can see all running ora<sid> owner process(DB Process).

Process Control

  ps (display the status of the current processes)

options:

-a include processes owned by other users

-g display all processes

-u display user-oriented processes

-x include processes with no controlling terminals

-gx display all of your local processes

kill id-number terminate a process. The id-number (PID-Process ID) can be found by first using the ps command.

Some unix process commands:  http://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/ITS/training/unix/unix7.html

Hi.. I got issue like Threshold exceeds some 90%. I Deleted some old files, even after deleting some old files, its still 90 %  and i zipped some trace files. what is the best way to reduce the threshold without losing data and without affecting production.

Hi Sai,

some of the below non-required files that can be deleted from the SAP system, deleting files is not a permanent solution. You should increase the file system size.

Backup Offline Redo log files and then delete.

Old spool and log files should be deleted regularly by scheduling a periodic batch job.

Core files in Unix file system

Old ABAP/4 trace files. Use Transaction SE30 to delete the files

Old output requests, they are stored on the data directory as files SP*.
