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.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TSGEN108 - & generation error(s): Tablespace is possibly full (with load tables) ?

  The SAP error message TSGEN108, which indicates that there are generation errors due to a tablespace possibly being full, typically occurs in the context of database operations where the system is unable to allocate space for new data or objects. This can happen during various operations, such as loading data into tables or generating database objects.
  Cause:
  
  Full Tablespace: The most common cause of this error is that the tablespace in which the database objects are being created or modified has reached its maximum capacity.
  Auto-extend Disabled: If the tablespace is set to a fixed size and does not have auto-extend enabled, it will not be able to grow when it reaches its limit.
  Quota Issues: The user or schema may have reached its quota limit for the tablespace, preventing further allocations.
  Database Configuration: There may be configuration issues with the database that limit the size of the tablespace or the number of objects that can be created.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Tablespace Usage:
  
  Use database management tools or SQL queries to check the current usage of the tablespace. For example, in Oracle, you can use:
  SELECT tablespace_name, bytes, maxbytes, free_bytes FROM dba_data_files WHERE tablespace_name = 'YOUR_TABLESPACE_NAME';
  
  
  
  
  Increase Tablespace Size:
  
  If the tablespace is full, you can increase its size by adding data files or resizing existing files. For example, in Oracle:
  ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE 'path_to_your_datafile' RESIZE new_size;
  
  Or add a new data file:
  ALTER TABLESPACE your_tablespace_name ADD DATAFILE 'new_datafile_path' SIZE size_in_MB;
  
  
  
  
  Enable Auto-extend:
  
  If applicable, enable auto-extend for the data files in the tablespace to allow it to grow automatically when needed:
  ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE 'path_to_your_datafile' AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT increment_size MAXSIZE unlimited;
  
  
  
  
  Check User Quotas:
  
  Ensure that the user or schema has sufficient quota on the tablespace. You can grant additional quota if necessary:
  ALTER USER your_user QUOTA UNLIMITED ON your_tablespace;
  
  
  
  
  Cleanup Unused Objects:
  
  If possible, review and delete any unused or obsolete objects in the tablespace to free up space.
  
  
  
  Consult Database Administrator:
  
  If you are not able to resolve the issue, consult your database administrator for further assistance, as they may have additional insights or permissions to make necessary changes.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Database Monitoring: Regularly monitor tablespace usage to prevent this issue from occurring in the future.
  Backup and Recovery: Ensure that you have a backup strategy in place before making changes to the database.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific recommendations or patches related to this error message, as SAP may provide updates or fixes for known issues.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the TSGEN108 error and prevent it from occurring in the future.
