The issue:

While creating table and index MLICHECK, SAP is putting it in PSAPECP table space, which is my OLD SID. it should be PSAPECC instead, which is my new SID.

So how do we tell SAP to use PSAPECC instead of PSAPECP?

looking in dev_slic file, i found this query:

SELECT T1.TABSPACE, T2.TABSPACE FROM TAORA T1, IAORA T2 WHERE T1.TABART = T2.TABART AND T1.TABART = 'SDIC';

So i queried:

SQL> SELECT T1.TABSPACE, T2.TABSPACE FROM SAPSR3.TAORA T1, SAPSR3.IAORA T2 WHERE

 T1.TABART = T2.TABART AND T1.TABART = 'SDIC';

TABSPACE                       TABSPACE

------------------------------ ------------------------------

PSAPECP                        PSAPECP

SQL>

So the result shows PSAPECP which is my old SID. Further query:

SQL> SELECT TABART, TABSPACE FROM SAPSR3.TAORA

  2  ;

TABAR TABSPACE

----- ------------------------------

APPL0 PSAPSR3

APPL1 PSAPSR3

APPL2 PSAPSR3

CLUST PSAPSR3

DDIM  PSAPDIMD

DFACT PSAPFACTD

DODS  PSAPODSD

POOL  PSAPECP

SDIC  PSAPECP

SDOCU PSAPECP

SLDEF PSAPECP731

TABAR TABSPACE

----- ------------------------------

SLEXC PSAPECP731

SLOAD PSAPECP

SPROT PSAPECP

SSDEF PSAPECP731

SSEXC PSAPECP731

SSRC  PSAPECP

TEMP  PSAPECP

USER  PSAPECPUSR

USER1 PSAPECPUSR

20 rows selected.

SQL>

So hmmmm.. a lot of ECP which is my old SID. i need it to be ECC or SR3.. how do i change it?

Well, update statement will do:

UPDATE SAPSR3.TAORA SET TABSPACE = 'PSAPECC' WHERE TABART='SDIC';

And the error gone. but some other error 1034 database not available, some username/password thingy happened.

but anyway, you got the diea.

chiow.
