DB12 transaction not showing Archiving directory status

[Former Member]

Hello All,

I have a question regarding the DB12 transaction. In this transaction, there is a button which shows the archiving directory status. For some reason in my newly build QA system, this button shows Unknown when i try to retrieve the free space. I observed this calls SAPOSCOL and it is running in that server. And the standard SAP jobs for SAP_PERF_Collector and Job Statistics jobs are scheduled and running. How does this free space in archiving directory gets displayed? Amy help would be greatly appreciated with points.

Thanks,

Refer the SAP Standard note 199586 for this.

Hope this will help you.

Hello Sachin and Samrat,

Thanks for guiding me towards the target solution. In my case, the directory status was not displayed because it was owned by SIDADM as opposed to root. I changed the permission and did a stop and start of the SAPOSCOL, it started working. Thanks a lot for all your help.

Does the Database Host and directory point to the correct place?

[Former Member]

the env variables are set correctly. I checked the initSID.ora as well. Please let me know where else I can check to make sure the directory it is pointed is correct.

Does the /oracle/SID/saparch should be a file system or can it be a subdirectory under /oracle/SID file system? The SAPOSCOL for some reason does not get the free space available? The only difference is currently saparch is the sub directory and not a file system of its own? Please let me know if that makes any difference.
