Business Objects User Space

Former Member
0 Kudos

Hi,

The drive on which Business Objects is stored is running out of space...

I've been asked to provide a list of 20 or so users who are using the most space (I need to look in everyone's inbox/personal folders etc.)

An old colleague of mine has done this before but left no instructions!

I believe this can be done through the Audit tool but I don't have this so am relying on the CMC/Query Builder..

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Hi guys,

Thanks for the help thus far, i'm looking into limiting the number of instances any one user can have.

In the meantime though, is there any way I can actually query the size of everyone's personal folders?

If I run the following:

"SELECT TOP 10000 SI_ID, SI_NAME, SI_KIND

FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS

WHERE SI_PARENTID = 18"

It returns just over 4000 rows (to give you an idea of the size).

Is there any way I can edit my query to bring back the size of their personal folders?

Presumably if there is, I can order it from biggest to smallest?

Thanks again!

Luke:

A very common practice to avoid (control) size problems is to move the Input/output file repository server to  a much bigger, faster, less expensive hard drive.

Attacking the root of the problem, yes would be to find what type of content and frequency in which users are saving data into their inboxes and work with data development team to provide a different/alternative solution.

Luke,

     The problem is that we currently have NO real way to manage Users personal storage limits and InBox instance limits.

As part of the BI Platform Influence council I have request an enhancement for this issue, see link

Please endorse the Idea

Hi Ajay,

Is Influence different from sap.ideas.com?

Hi

Couple of things you can check to increase the space at server.

Set the global limit at my favourite folder in cmc to retain only 5 or 10 instance.

check the log folder at server and move the older log files in some different drive or delete.

Check in the Auditing folder at server if some files are going in the buffer.ideally all files should be in the 0 KB size in this.

check the File store folder size at server.if it's very high then you need to check the individual users folders.
