Re: SAP R3 and Locally Managed Tablespaces

Jared,

I can't say that I have used LMT's with our SAP installation, however, I constantly modify storage parameters, and I really don't see a difference. That being said, I know how much of a control-freak SAP is. The problem is that SAP puts tables/indexes in certain tablespaces based on functionality. For example, the BTABD tablespace contains all transaction, heavy I/O tables, while the STABD tablespace contains all master data and transparent tables, etc. So if you organize LMT's based on size/storage characteristics, you would have to have multiple BTABD, STABD, etc. tablespaces. That would be the only thing I can see SAP being nervous about. In order to do table reorgs, I do this in the sense that I have a BTABD and a BTAB2D tablespace that I reorg the table to/from. Sorry if you already knew all this, but maybe others would benefit.
