Downtime-Optimized Conversion

Handling Errors in Phase REQ_PARTITIONING_MATDOC

Context

In phase REQ_PARTITIONING_MATDOC, shortly before downtime you are prompted to partition table MATDOC. In case of downtime-optimized conversion, the table MATDOC already contains data, partitioning requires time as all the data has to be moved by the SAP HANA DB into the defined partitions.

Procedure

  1. When table MATDOC is still empty and to avoid long runtimes at this point of the conversion, create the partitioning already beforehand.
  2. To do so, follow the instructions of SAP Note 2259038 Information published on SAP site.
