SAP Note 646681 - Reorganization of tables with BRSPACE

Summary :
SAP Note elucidates the use of BRSPACE for online reorganization of tables in SAP environments with Oracle as the database. From Oracle version 9.2, utilizing the DBMS_REDEFINITION package is possible, albeit certain constraints such as non-handling of LONG and LONG RAW fields persist, demanding manual offline reorganization via Export/Import for those field types. Migrating from dictionary managed tablespaces (DMTs) to locally managed tablespaces (LMTs) is recommended, especially for large tables which might benefit from targeted tablespaces. Timely application of Oracle patches and adhering to SAP Notes regarding data type conversions (e.g., LONG to LOB) is emphasized to avoid compatibility issues. Efficient use of BRTOOLS or BRGUI interfaces is recommended for executing BRSPACE commands.
