Patching ABAP system

[Former Member]

Hi,

I´m doubting about the next concept. When we patching a system, the patches are installed on the database,not? This patches installed not will fill the directory usr/sap/SID , not?

More thanks

Hi,

ABAP patches will update the objects which are stored in the database. It will increase the database size and not the /usr/sap/<SID> filesystem.

Hi,

SAP ABAP patches are only stored in database not in file system.

the patches are installed on the database

It is saved on database only.

will fill the directory usr/sap/SID

No.

I believed this, but I´m not sure.

Then, I will change the transport DIR to another file system, and do the update system.

HI,

But still we need to have trans directory as some /EPS/in is required, that means /usr/sap/trans is required.

I mean to say saving in database does not mean it will not do anything on /usr/sap/trans, still trans directory should be there to save your physical patch file , hope it will clear you.

Thanks Gagan,

But if I change the transport dir /usr/sap/trans to another file system, in the tcode STMS, the sapcar will extract the patches on the usr/sap/trans/eps/in ,not?

As long as you maintain the system to reflect the location of /usr/sap/trans it should be ok

Check DIR_TRANS is pointing to the right location... now if the changes are done at OS level and the path does not change then theres no need to maintain it.
