SAP Business One HANA - Delete log files in /mnt00001

[fabrizio]

Hello all,

We are not using the backup functionalities of SAP HANA for one of our Business One servers.

Is it possible to delete log files on the server folder /NDB/global/log/mnt00001/hdb00001 - hdb00004 without impact on system functionalities? I learned that certain files are needed during the restart of the system. Are these log files part of these?

Edit: Further investigations resulted, that the remaining objects in these folders have the status "truncated". According to Note 2083715 these files will be deleted after the next savepoint/backup. Unfortunately this is not the case.. So can we delete these truncated files manually?

Thank you very much for your help!

Fabrizio

So we solved the error via a hint we found on another site. In case anyone encounters a similiar issue, here our solution.
1. In global.ini settings of your HANA system change the parameter log_mode to overwrite

2. Restart the system

3. Change the log_mode back to normal

4. Restart the system again

5. Open a SQL command window and execute the command: ALTER SYSTEM RECLAIM LOG

This should delete all of your truncated log files in hdb00004
