//SAP is shared in window Platform

[former_member224720]

Hi All,

Could anyone please let me know that why the SAP folder is shared in window platform.

I am talking about /USR/SAP, in this SAP is shared to all the user in server.

And i have unshared it as per the security policy, and from 1 month i have not found any issue in the system.

Hence, could any one please confirm why by default this folder is shared.

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,

Prashant Dubey

Because all tools use UNC paths (like
server\share) to access the tools and not drive letters.

Additionally, that is needed for the transport system and also if you have several application servers that share the same kernel.

You may run into problems later (upgrades etc.)

This topic is covered in the installation guide.

Hi Markus,

Thnaks for your reply.

But if we share /SAP again then is there any problem.

And also confirm we are hacing CI only in that server might be due to that we have not faced any issue, is that correct thought.

I suggest you take a look at the security guide at

http://sevice.sap.com/security

where detail descriptions of what the system needs and how it's configured is described.

And yes, the reason why you may not have faced a problem is that the CI does not actively "need" the share (as of now).
