sapinst generated an empty directory structure when exporting DB

[Former Member]

I try to use SAPINST (i.e. db-independent) exporting a DB.

However, even it is done without any error, only an empty folder structure is generated:

folder ABAP ( which is empty)

file: LABELIDX.ASC

I remember about 2 years ago, I had to copy the migration monitor related *.SAR files into the sapinst directory and then

start export_monitor.sh to kick off the background exporting job which generated the export dump. However I cannot find

that document I made then.

Could you help recall?

Thanks!

There are 2 sapinst at SMP for 701.

I have tried the newer one sapinst 701_2.

Please advise.

Thanks!

P.S. This morning I tried 701_1 from scratch. But no dump file generated.

Are you trying to export database system installed as distributed system? then you need to start your SAPINST using SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME option.
