Summary :
This SAP Note addresses the issue of unusually high redo log generation in SAP systems, which can potentially lead to system shutdowns due to full archive directories. The noted causes include inadequate application operations or configuration issues across various Oracle versions, with identified reasons ranging from tablespaces left in backup mode to bugs in Oracle software affecting rollback and DML processes on indexes. Solutions are multi-fold, involving checks and corrections in backup settings, application function diagnostics, and specific Oracle parameters adjustment. Additionally, operational recommendations are provided for index management and materialized views, ensuring better management of redo log volumes.
