Use

Extend existing tablespaces and create new tablespaces as requested by the Software Update Manager.

To create or extend tablespaces, you should use the Db2 LUW Command Line Processor Template DB6TBSXT.CLP generated by the Software Update Manager (see the CHECKS.LOG file).

Alternatively, you can use the Db2 LUW DB6COCKPIT.

With Db2 LUW Version 8 Fixpak 9 (8.2.2) or higher, you can alter existing DMS tablespaces to Autoextend DMS tablespaces instead of extending the tablespace manually. You can do this using the command db2 alter tablespaces <tbspname> autoresize yes maxsize none. With release 8.2.2 or higher, new tablespaces are automatically created as Autoextend DMS tablespaces when DB6TBSXT.CLP is used.

For more information, see the SAP online documentation on database administration for Db2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows.

Prerequisites

For performance reasons, you have to consider the following restrictions when you create the new tablespaces (in the order they are listed):

• Different containers of a tablespace must be located on different (physical) disks.

• PSAPES<REL>D and PSAPEL<REL>D or <SID>#ES<Rel>D and <SID>#EL<Rel>D should not be on the same disk.

Procedure

1. Extend the listed tablespaces by at least the specified values.

2. Create the new tablespaces as prompted by the Software Update Manager. This applies to the following tablespaces in during the procedure:
