Good afternoon.
Probably this is a silly question but i do have to ask.
I have a 4.6 C instance in a Windows Server 2003 and I need to change it the directory usr from one disk to another.
Supose I have C:\usr\sap and I want to move it to disk G:
I dont have any installation tools with me so I need to do it manually.
And for now I have two ideas:
First one:
1) Backup respective data
2) Cleanup data from the drectory USR\SAP\TRANS\EPS\IN
3) Stop Instance
4) Apply the Unix concept of symbolic link. Microsoft has a tool for this kind of operations:
[http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896768.aspx]
Can I just cut and past the directory somewhere else and use this tool to apply the symbolic link concept?
The other way to do this I guess is:
1) Backup respective data
2) Cleanup data from the drectory USR\SAP\TRANS\EPS\IN
3) Stop Instance
c) Copy usr to new destiny
d) Check SAPLOC and SAPMNT share properties
e) Create new shares in the new disk (SAPLOC and SAPMNT)
f) Edit all profiles
g) Alter windows regedit for SAPOSCOL and instance services
Probably this is the safer way. But is it possible to apply a symbolic link ?
Sorry for you wasted time. And thank you very much!
