How much disk space is required by certain programs (sources)/DDIC-Objects?

Former Member — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 11:12:09 GMT

Dear experts,

a customer asks for information about the disk space that his SAP-system will additionally require for the installation of the program packages that he is about to purchase from us. To make a long story short: I have no idea how to decently answer that quesion!

I can imagine that there are SAP standard programs that provide an answer to that question.

Does anybody have a hint on how to answer that?

thanks in advance

Andreas

You can check the size of generated program aka "load". From SE38 goto to menu>program>check>generation limit or just run BC_ABAP_GEN_LIMITS

Very strange question by your customer, normally development objects take only a fraction of the space compared to application data, and also normally any box should be maintained to have enough free space for another say 10% growth of the overall database, so a few extra development objects should not matter.

An indicator might be the size of the transport request data file, multiplied by a factor unknown to me.

You can also check in the SAP Netweaver Administrator forums.
