Verifying Available Space in DBMS

Package Deployment will copy the Central Objects tables in your server database to a new set of Metadata Specifications tables in the same database.

Verify there is enough free disk space for this extra copy.

Note the space used by your Central Objects tables and their indexes. The new set of Metadata Specifications tables will use additional space approximately the same size (for a full package) as your current Central Objects tables plus indexes. Those tables are:

  • F98306

  • F98710

  • F98711

  • F98712

  • F98713

  • F98720

  • F98740

  • F98741

  • F98743

  • F98745

  • F98750

  • F98751

  • F98752

  • F98753

  • F98760

  • F98761

  • F98762

If you do not have enough free space to accommodate these tables, you must free up some disk space or drop the metadata specifications tables for old packages no longer in use.
