Summary :
This SAP Note addresses common queries related to the configuration and management of the log area in SAP MaxDB databases. It encompasses various aspects such as log segment arrangements, RAID usage for logs, and the procedures involved in mirroring log areas using database tools. Key considerations include ensuring rapid disk I/O for logs, avoiding placement of logs, data, and swap on the same disk to prevent I/O bottlenecks, and the implications of using RAID for logs. The note also explores situations like log full conditions, the process of managing log volumes during different database operation statuses, and the significance of certain database parameters like LocalRedoLogBufferSize. Users of MaxDB version 7.5 or higher, particularly in OLTP, BW, or SAP liveCache environments, will find this information pertinent.
