SAP Note 10551 - Table TST03 grows

Component : TemSe (Repository for temporary sequential objects) -

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/10551 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
The table TST03 and its corresponding tablespace are increasing in size continuously due to its usage for storing spool data, specifically in LONG RAW fields. Various SAP releases have had different byte limits for these fields, and kernel patches have introduced optimizations to reduce chained row processing when the PCTFREE parameter is set correctly. If initrans is improperly set, it should be corrected to 1 to ensure better space usage. Reorganization and manual cleanup of the tablespace are necessary if the storage requirements are not met. Switching the storage of spool data from the database to the file system can also mitigate the issue but comes with its own advantages and disadvantages.
