Directory for client export

[Former Member]

Dear All,

/usr/sap folder is on hdisk2 (only 13gb free)

/oracle/SID folder is on hdisk3 (only 32 gb free)

We're going to upgrade HDD to 300 GB on hdisk3, but the question is if we export client it will go to /usr/sap/trans folder but without enough disk space.

Can you suggest which parameter in RZ10 controls the folder for client export, if we cannot change, any other solution.

Thx & Reg

Hi,

We're going to upgrade HDD to 300 GB on hdisk3, but the question is if we export client
it will go to /usr/sap/trans folder but without enough disk space.

You can use the below trick...

1. create one folder (seperate logical volume) named "/trans" on hdisk3.

2. Make sure that "/trans" folder has same ownership and permission as "/usr/sap/trans"

2. copy all the contents of "/usr/sap/trans" to "/trans"

#cp -R /usr/sap/trans/* /trans

3. mount "/usr/sap/trans" to "/trans" folder

#mount /usr/sap/trans /trans

4. Take system export as normal.

5. unmount "/trans" after system export.

Hi Bhushan,

Unfortunately there is no such parameter which controls the destination of client export files because the client export creates two or three transport requests (depending on the chosen profile) which resided in the the /trans folder.

However you can execute ABAP report RSSPACECHECK in the client of which you are planning to take the export of which will give you the size of the client and upgrade the space requirements accordingly.

Hello Bhushan,

What you can do is. Client export creates some transport requests in your /usr/sap/trans folder.

So to avoid the crunch of space you can temporarily create any mount point or folder(on a disk where you have space as per your needs) and after creating it you can change the parameter in your profile DIR_TRANS = <path to new directory with enough space> and umount the current /usr/sap/trans(which you will use after your export).

This will work for your scenario.
