2. System copy preparation: Housekeeping
2. System copy preparation: housekeeping Challenges with growing number of Data objects in PSA Meta data Logs Challenges: Data Objects in system grow over time Some data objects get inconsistent and corrupted systems become too large with outdated data Info Provider Traces, Statistics System copy with inconsistent and outdated data will result in inconsistencies Solutions: Clean-up system regularly (e.g. monthly) Caches Repair inconsistent data objects regularly Housekeeping especially before system copy 2013 SAP AG or an SAP affiliate company.
