Delete Short Dumps from the SNAP Table
Up to SAP Note 11838, there is 3 different methods how to clean up the ST22 or SNAP tables in SAP.
Method 1 : Dump analysis: Reorganization
Go to transaction code ST22. Choose to reorganize. You can now select all short dumps older than n days for deletion.
CAUTION: If a large amount of records is deleted simultaneously during the reorganization, ORACLE error ora1562 failed to extend rollback segment may occur. In this case, refer to error Note 6328.
Method 2 : Drop and recreate the SNAP table
With the database utility transaction code SE14, you can drop and recreate the SNAP table.
CAUTION: When you do this, ALL short dumps are deleted.
Method 3 : Reorganization program RSSNAPDL
To avoid database problems, this program deletes old short dumps gradually from the SNAP table unless they are selected for retention. With standard setting all short dumps that are older than 7 days and that are not flagged are deleted.
Since this program occupies the database when large datasets are processed, it should be scheduled to run overnight. Execute RSSNAPDL in transaction SE38
