    Hi,

    I assume you are using MS SQL Server,

    Kindly refer this note:[1224089|https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/smb_searchnotes/display.htm?note_langu=E&;note_numm=0001224089] for How to shrink a MSSQL Server 2005 / 2008 Database

    Ensure that you take a full database back up before proceeding.

    Hi

    Take a look at AdministratorGuide_SQL that comes with your patch level or with software download .

    It is under the folder Documentation >Setup .It tells you exactly how to shrink your database .

    It is a regular process if your transaction log has increased significantly than your database size.

    Thank you

    HI Jeyakanthan,

    you can use the following query to shrink your database,

    1. backup log "SBO-COMMON" with truncate_only; execute after writing this.

    2. DBCC SHRINKFILE ("SBO-COMMON", 35) execute after writing this. 35 here is the size in mb , you can make it as 100.

    Then you need to select the database, right click> tasks> shrink--> files... in the file type , select log and click on OK. In this way you can avoid the error message that you get, transaction log is full!!!!

    Hope this helps..

    Regards,

    Joseph
