Hi,

i have reduce entries from rsbatchdaten from 160.000.000 to 3.000.000. There is no impact on memory consumption. What
needs to be done to free up the memory?

RSBATCHDATA is still 57gb

Hi Ron,
If you run on Oracle, the DBA still needs to perform a reorg.
Also on HANA the clean up processes will need to be done first.
