sap dailog instance in lnux

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Recentrly we installed ERP EHP5 IDES version in Windows 2008 pc with oracle 11.2.0.1 database. Now i want to install one dailog instance to attach with ides server for testing purpose. For that i try to install application server in suse linux platform. During installation it ask the sap global profile directory path, when i give the actual path and continue the installation it throws the error "Node:
<sapglobalhost>\SID\SYS\profile not found". So please clarify me the below doubts.

1. Whether it is possible to connect the application server in linux with windows (CI & DB) server,

2. If possible means how can i continue the installation.

Thanks & Regards

Balaji

Hello Balaji,

You need to mount the Windows share "
sapglobalhost\sapmnt" to a local folder, at the Linux server.

Then you can point the installation to the locally mounted path.

You can do it like:

mkdir /sapmnt

mount //sapglobalhost/sapmnt /sapmnt

You may need to add parameters for the "sidadm" user and password to the "mount" command, and adjust the /sapmnt permissions afterwards.

Best regards,

Hi Isaias,

Thanks for the reply,

i continue the installation after mount the filesystem by command

mount -t cifs //<sapglobalhost>/sapmnt /sapmnt -o username=username,password=password,uid=<sid>adm,gid=sapsys,umask=0077

Thanks
