Former Member

Hi,

While importing profiles in RZ10 it is showing the start profile error. But it is importing Default and Instance profile correctly. The START profile is at the correct location.

Error detail.

Start profile
sap-*-**-01

\sapmnt\QAS\SYS\profile\START_D00_**--**-

could not be read. The import is therfore not possible.

Can anyone suggest....

Cheers!!!

Besides location also permissions have to be checked.

and furthermore:

\sapmnt\QAS\SYS\profile\START_D00_**--**-

You didn't tell us your operating system.

In case of Windows you may have to add a drive letter.

In case of Unix you may have to replace '\' by '/'.

Hi,

Sorry my OS is AIX. It is not a problem witht he / or \. as it is taking other profile with the same \ symbol.

... and what about file permissions?

Hi,

It has all the permission with correct Owner and UGroup.


sap-*-**-01\sapmnt\QAS\

SYS\profile\START_D00_**-*-ecc-

Double-check path name. It looks a bit strange.

In our systems it's either:

/sapmnt/SID/profile/START....

or:

/usr/sap/SID/SYS/profile/START...

Both are the same by means of a symbolic link.

But it's nowhere like yours:

/sapmnt/SID/SYS/profile/START...

I can execute the location from the OS level and it is working fine. It is taking me to my location...

Sorry, but what do you mean by

I can execute the location ?

How do you execute a location?

And in addition to my previous post:

what's the output of this command (as user <sid>adm):

grep "^PROFILE_DIR" `which startsap`

Hi,

Thanks for your reply, I got my answer from the SAPNote 1000897. My total profile location and profile file is exceeding more than 60 characters so SAP can not read the full file name. So I have changed my file name to sorter name and now it is working fine.

Thanks for everything..
