Summary :
The SAP Note addresses full file system issues within the R/3 environment by identifying deletable files and directories across various system locations such as /usr/sap/ and /sapmnt/. Key actionable insights include removing outdated core, spool, log, and trace files, plus archiving data no longer needed for operation but kept on backup media. Recommendations are also given for handling old output and temporary sort/extract files, with directives to manipulate specific SAP profile settings like DIR_SORT and DIR_EXACT. Additionally, transaction codes like RSPO0041 and SE30 are suggested for more efficient file management and system clean-up processes. SEAL management techniques are reiterated for extreme case scenarios, ensuring optimized performance and stability.
