Change Transport Directory

[Private_Member_19084]

Hi experts,

I've installed a second instance (sandbox) on a host, where already a system is running.

As the system should be a separate system, I would like to change the transport directory of the sandbox.

Now it is /usr/sap/trans and as the other installed instance also uses this directory, I've created another transport directory called /usr/sap/test_trans.

But what do I have to do, to change the transport directory in the sandbox-intance.

I already changed the trans_dir parameter.

But now I get error like "access to /usr/sap/test_trans/log/.... not possible".

Clear, the test_trans directory is totally empty, so no directory called "log" exists.

Do I have to create the directories inthere manually or can I create them automatically via an SAP report/transaction (maybe via STMS)?

If yes, how can I create them.

If no, which directories do I have to create manually?

Thx in advance

Create the following directories  with the permissions below:

drwxrwx--x	root   sapsys	bin
drwxrwx--x	root   sapsys	buffer
drwxrwxrwx	root   sapsys	cofiles
drwxrwxrwx	root   sapsys	data
drwxrwx--x	root   sapsys	EPS
drwxrwx--x	root   sapsys	etc
drwxrwx--x	root   sapsys	log
drwxrwx--x	root   sapsys	sapnames
drwxrwx--x	root   sapsys	tmp

You will need one more directory EPS/in in addition to the ones specified by Ratnajit above.

use the same permissions as above.

You will also need to configure one more parameter DIR_EPS_ROOT=/usr/sap/test_trans/EPS/
