• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DB6PM098 - Temp. system tablespaces must be located in partition group IBMTEMPGROUP ?

  The SAP error message DB6PM098 indicates that the temporary system tablespaces must be located in a specific partition group, in this case, IBMTEMPGROUP. This error typically arises in environments where SAP is running on IBM Db2 databases, and it relates to the configuration of tablespaces.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the temporary tablespaces required by the SAP system are not configured correctly or are not located in the designated partition group (IBMTEMPGROUP). This can happen due to:
  
  Misconfiguration: The temporary tablespaces may have been created in a different partition group.
  Database Setup: The database may not have been set up to use the correct partition group for temporary tablespaces.
  Changes in Configuration: Changes made to the database configuration or tablespace settings that do not comply with the requirements.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the temporary tablespaces are correctly configured in the specified partition group. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Check Current Tablespace Configuration:
  
  Use the Db2 command line or a database management tool to check the current configuration of your tablespaces.
  You can run a command like:
  LIST TABLESPACES
  
  Identify where the temporary tablespaces are currently located.
  
  
  
  Create or Alter Temporary Tablespaces:
  
  If the temporary tablespaces are not in the correct partition group, you may need to create new temporary tablespaces in the IBMTEMPGROUP partition group or alter the existing ones.
  To create a new temporary tablespace, you can use a command like:
  CREATE TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp_tablespace_name IN IBMTEMPGROUP;
  
  If you need to alter an existing tablespace, you may need to drop it and recreate it in the correct partition group.
  
  
  
  Update SAP Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the SAP system is aware of the new or altered temporary tablespaces. This may involve updating the database connection settings in the SAP system.
  
  
  
  Restart the Database and SAP System:
  
  After making changes, it may be necessary to restart the Db2 database and the SAP application server to ensure that all changes take effect.
