Instance specific exe directories on central host

[Former Member]

Hi

I need to know, how to make out if

i have Instance specific exe directories on central host or

i dont have Instance specific exe directories on central host.

kenel files on Central Instance:

F:\usr\sap\VWP\sys\exe\run is available

kernel files on Application Server:

F:\usr\sap\VWP\D00\exe is available

Does that mean i dont have Instance specific exe directories on central host.

Regards

If you have an homogeneous environment (same OS) most likely the /sapmnt/<sid>/exe its mounted on your application server so they can share the same kernel path.

On heterogeneous environments(Different OS) the kernel directory is independent.

Hi

Its Homogeneous (Windows)

F:\sap (on Central,Application instances) is shared with saploc name.

kernel files on Central Instance:

F:\usr\sap\VWP\sys\exe\run are not shared.

kernel files on Application Server:

F:\usr\sap\VWP\D00\exe are not shared.

So what it implicits?

Hi,

Check the start profile of your application server to see if the local application server exe files are copied from the central instance server.

For example :

_CP = sapcpe.exe

Start_Program_01 = immediate $(DIR_EXECUTABLE)\$(_CP) pf=$(DIR_PROFILE)\DEV_Dxx_xxxxxx

Usually in windows /usr/sap is shared as sapmnt/saploc

Read the Installation Guide under dialog instance and you'll find step by steps instructions on how to share the kernel directoty

Edit... follow Olivier advice.

Juan

Hi

Start Profiles file of the application server is in Production box. Path usr/sap/<sid>/sys/profile is as:

Content of Strat profile of Application server:

Start_Program_01 = immediate $(DIR_EXECUTABLE)\$(_CP) pf=$(DIR_PROFILE)\<SID>_D00_<Application_Server>

1. start application server

_DW = disp+work.exe

Start_Program_04 = local $(DIR_EXECUTABLE)\$(_DW) pf=$(DIR_PROFILE)\<SID>_D00_<Application_Server>

I believe it means, we dont have instance specific exe direcotries.
