SAP Note 541538 - FAQ: Reorganization

Component : Database Administration with Oracle - Oracle

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/541538 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
This SAP Note provides guidance on system reorganization involving database objects such as tables, tablespaces, and indexes in both offline and online modes. Offline reorganizations require system downtime and involve data exportation into a dump file, reconfiguration, or ALTER TABLE MOVE for tables without LONG and LONG RAW columns as per Note 1080376. Online reorganizations, facilitated by tools like BRSPACE, allow system operation during reconfiguration using Oracle’s DBMS_REDEFINITION package to prevent access locks. Reorganizations are beneficial in various scenarios, such as improving tablespaces, disk usage optimization, and performance enhancement by redistributing table data or modifying storage parameters. However, certain scenarios don’t necessitate reorganization.
