(Glue-2308) Database Utility

Transaction:

/DVD/GL14

Deletes large or corrupted DDIC SNP Glue™ objects and truncates stored data (cleans table content), both in the dialog and background job. The functionality is similar to the standard ABAP Database Utility (SE14) and can be launched by using the transaction /DVD/GL14.


Database Utility is an expert tool for deleting any DDIC SNP Glue™ object. In some cases, it may even disable some Glue processes. Consider this when you perform operations in the Database Utility.

 SNP Glue™ Database Utility: Main Screen


The user may choose between the database operations, truncate, or delete. After the user clicks Delete, the DDIC SNP Glue™ object is deleted the same way as in SNP Glue™ Data Dictionary. The user may delete also the corrupted DDIC SNP Glue™ objects by selecting Force Delete.
The button Truncate deletes only the content of a DDIC SNP Glue™ object. 

Both database operations may be launched in dialog or as a background job. The background processing should be used mainly for big DDIC SNP Glue™ objects because dialog jobs can timeout. The user can display the launched background jobs by using the transaction - SM37 Overview of job selection.


Please note that database operations are enabled only for DDIC SNP Glue™ objects with an Active status.
