Summary :
SAP Note describes the issue of excessive size in table APQD, which stores batch input sessions. These sessions accumulate due to non-processing, errors, or intentional saving with the KEEP flag. Preventative measures include avoiding needless KEEP flag usage and removing erroneous sessions with transactions SM35 and RSBDCREo. Regular cleanup strategies like running RSBDCREO in all clients are advised. For overgrown tables, initial cleanup is recommended using SM35 or RSBCDREO, followed by database reorganization if necessary due to residual space occupation on some databases. Physical deletion of APQD is a last resort and risky maneuver.
