Jim,
I don't know about the others on the list, but I for one appreciate hearing
about personal experiences of others with these crappy packaged packages. $
years ago we decided against SAP mostly due to the experiences of a local firm
that had decided to implement it. At the time they were 2 months into the
implementation when the German consultants "had enough" with their local IT
folks, took the install disks/manuals, etc... & went home. Sounded like a bunch
of control-freaks. That was further added to by a friend at the NOUG who added
a tablespace to the database for index re-organization only to have the SAP
software throw a hissy fit & drop the tablespace! Not sure what version of SAP
that was, but WOW!! Anyway we're on PeopleSoft right now & although they do not
support LMT's they don't care either.

Jared,
I can't say that I have used LMT's with our SAP installation, however, I
constantly modify storage parameters, and I really don't see a difference.
That being said, I know how much of a control-freak SAP is. The problem is
that SAP puts tables/indexes in certain tablespaces based on functionality.
For example, the BTABD tablespace contains all transaction, heavy I/O
tables, while the STABD tablespace contains all master data and transparent
tables, etc. So if you organize LMT's based on size/storage
characteristics, you would have to have multiple BTABD, STABD, etc.
tablespaces. That would be the only thing I can see SAP being nervous
about. In order to do table reorgs, I do this in the sense that I have a
BTABD and a BTAB2D tablespace that I reorg the table to/from. Sorry if you
already knew all this, but maybe others would benefit.
