Trans Dir Unreachable Wrong order of calls <- CALL opendir(,,..)

[former_member229542]

Hi Guys.

Im facing an odd issue on a SAP Instance running on Windows 2008.

There was a server move from 2003 to 2008 as a background information.

The DEV server which serves as Domain Controller has the trans dir locally

The local directory is d:\usr\sap\trans\

It was shared on Windows as c:\usr\sap --> Network Drive
SAPDEVELOPMENT\sapmnt\trans

All <SID>SAP users have full authority

The TRANS_DIR is defined as
SAPDEVELOPMENT\sapmnt\trans

Now the problem:

On QAS Server as qasadm, im able to browse that shared folder

I put
SAPDEVELOPMENT
sapmnt\trans an the Windows Explorer shows me the content (data, cofiles,)

But from SAP (QAS instance), under AL11, when i click on DIR TRANS which points to
SAPDEVELOPMENT\sapmnt\trans it says Wrong order of calls <- CALL opendir(,,..)

Any idea of suggestion why from Windows 2008 Perspective I'm able to access that trans dir bu from SAP Perspective in unreachable.

Thanks!

hİ,

Did you add SAPService<SID> user to the share permissions?

Hi Orkun.

SAPServiceQAS was added to the shared folder on the Development system and the issue persists.

Any other idea?

Kind Regards!

Did you give the permission to the share, not folder itself, isn't it?

Yeah, I even give "Everyone" permission just for testing but still SAP is failing to browse DIR_TRANS directory.

Im running out of ideas

Hi Venkat

Make sure SAP_<SID>GlobalAdmin group have full access to /sapmnt share

Go to DEV system if this is your domain controller, go to \<dev_server>\sapmnt

Go to Security and sharing, and allow SAP_<QA_SID>_GlobalAdmin and SAP_<Prd_SID>GlobalAdmin Full Access

the manual actions are described in the chapter

4.6 Preparing the SAP Transport Host

of the current installation guide...

In short words:
if the transport directory structure was created by an SAPinst installation you need to perform one of the following actions on the computer which hosts the transport dirctory:

1. add the <domain>\SAP_<SID>_GlobalAdmin to the SAP_LocalAdmin Group
2. modify the Access Control List of the share which exports the transport directory and the directory granting Full Control to <domain>\SAP_<SID>_Globaladmin (for This folder, subfolder and files)

If you are not using a SAPInst created transport directory structure please copy the Access Control List (security entries) from the original directory (\usr\sap\trans) to the one you have created. The same has to be performed for the network share which is used to access the transport directory from outside.

Thanks a lot Peter and Martin,

Now i have configured TMS successfully.

Solution worked:

Make sure SAP_<SID>GlobalAdmin group have full access to /sapmnt share

Go to DEV system if this is your domain controller, go to \<dev_server>\sapmnt

Go to Security and sharing, and allow SAP_<QA_SID>_GlobalAdmin and SAP_<Prd_SID>GlobalAdmin Full Access

Thanks,

Venkat
