Unable to delete job logs - Error : file is corrupted or unreadable

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are running SolMan on Windows 2003 and there are some very old job logs (dated 2009) in "F:\usr\sap\sid\SYS\global\000JOBLG\" which we are unable to remove.

The error is "The file or directory is corrupted or unreadable". Because of this, Data Protector backup always has errors.

I have run "RSBTCDEL2" but these logs were not removed.

Is there a way to remove these stubborn old job logs?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Did you tried removing these files from OS level rather than running the program "RSBTCDEL2"?

Hi

Check this issue at OS level rather than SAP level , with the help of OS admins .

Look at the link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/176646 .

Hi Sisab,

Best is to determine whether you actually have the jobs from 2009 ( completed / Cancelled ones ) in your Solution manager system. If they donot exist in the job tables ( normally can be seen using transaction SM37 and a date range ), just go ahead and delete the joblogs from the OS level from 2009.
