Hi Abhishek,

A database is divided into logical storage units called tablespaces, which group together related
logical structures (such as tables, views, and other database objects). For example, all application
objects can be grouped into a single tablespace to simplify maintenance operations.

A tablespace consists of one or more physical datafiles. Database objects assigned to a tablespace
are stored in the physical datafiles of that tablespace.

The tablespace PSAP<SID> is the standard tablespace where transparent tables are saved (big
chunk of tables and indexes)

If your PSAPSR3 table sapce is 100% then your DB will creash automatically. If you want to avoid this,
we have to add the datailes to tablespace.

PSAPUNDO: Oracle standard and it is simply the information stored by Oracle to rollback or undo
changes to the databaseinformation. Every database must have an undo tablespace. If this table is
full then your jobs will fail.

If you want to avoid theh issues you  have to extedn the table sapce.

Hi,

PSAPUNDO: is the tablespace to keep intermediate/non committed
transaction in this way it ensures data consistency and read
consistency in database system.

PSAPSR3: is the tablespace that hold the actual data of any abap
sap system.

Regards

Prithviraj.
