How To Fix TSGEN108 - & generation error(s): Tablespace is possibly full (with load tables)

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: TSGEN - Messages For Transaction SGEN

• Message number: 108

• Message text: & generation error(s): Tablespace is possibly full (with load tables)

What causes this issue?

The system could not generate a large number of objects. This can have
several causes, the most common of which is that the tablespace that
contains the load tables is full.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Generation Status in Database Table GENSETC
You can use the generation status of the objects in database table
<DS:TB.GENSETC>GENSETC</> to determine
how many objects were generated successfully (GENSTATUS ='X'),
how many objects are being generated (GENSTATUS ='P'),
how many objects are still initial (GENSTATUS ='I'),
how many objects showed a syntax error when being generated (GENSTATUS
='S')
how many objects showed another syntax error (GENSTATUS ='E').
Finding Out the Cause
The system log (transaction SM21) can help you to find out the cause of
the generation errors. For example, the system log will have an
appropriate entry if the error was caused by there not being enough
space in a tablespace for the load tables. You can check free space in
the tablespaces with transaction DB02.
Terminating and Restarting the Generation
Transaction <DS:DT.TX_SGEN_INFO1_PARA>SGEN</> continues the generation
process and does not terminate the generation until 500 generation
errors have been detected. To terminate the generation because of the
number of errors, choose <ZK>Cancel Generation</> on the job monitor
screen.
To restart the generation again, choose the option <ZK>Regenerate
Objects of Last Run</> when you call transaction SGEN, and then choose
<ZK>Restart</>. You must select servers with the same machine type as
you were using before the jobs were terminated.
The transaction now resets the generation status of all objects with
generation errors (GENSTATUS ='E') to 'I' (initial). If you now restart
the generation, all non-processed objects (GENSTATUS ='I') are now
generated.
