Unable to delete wrong directory parameter in AL11

[Former Member]

Good afternoon,

In AL11 I have three directory parameters that are wrong it is the DIR_TRSUB, DIRTR_FILES and DIR_TRANS.

The problem is that I can not delete this parameters. I got the following message when I open them:

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

Normally after a systemcopy this is also a problem but then we change the parameters by clicking the button "Manage user directories" and click the recycle bin. After that we fil in de new logfile - save and then DIR_TRANS is pointing to the right environment.

When I try to do this the old DIR_TRANS will not go away I can 't delete it so I have two DIT_TRANS.

The cause is probably a wrong adres in the hostfile during systemcopy someone filled in the servername missing one letter and the DIR_TRANS is now pointing to \\server\sapmnt\trans (local server) I want to change it in.

\\server1\sapmnt\trans

The first servername does not exist

Kind regards,

You can change the value in RZ10 open instance profile. change or create it and reboot instance.

A little addition to the call.

I found out that in STMS in the transport tool tab the option TRANSDIR is wrong I can change this and the setting is saved but on saving I got the message that the system is having problems saving th TP_DOMAIN....PFL and this path is still pointing to the wrong servername. In STMS - system the servername is OK now.

Restarted SAP and the systemcopy and it worked.

Maydbe I was a bit to early posting it here. Solved my own question

It is good that issue has been solved. Additionally you can check USER_DIR table to Add/delete AL11 entries.
