Are you using Distributed installation or High Availability installation ?

Also I could sense that your environment is Windows. Please share OS and DB platform details.

Hope this helps.

Hi ,

As a best practice do not installed anything on C:\drive which is meant for Operation system installation and patches.

You may delete the folders and start the installation one more time using SWPM.

Select correct drive while installation it will recreate new folders in the new path.

Do not delete /usr/sap/SID as it will contain all the kernel and profile files for SAP. You may choose custom option for installation or in Summary select the option to change the required path.

Hope this helps.

Hi Deepak,

Thansk for your response.

I have selected the custome option only ,I have given the destination directry to X (in that directory usr/sap/sid /ascs00 installed) .

In additon to my X destination drive(usr/sap) , in ASCS instance box in C directory usr/sap /CCMs,PRFCLOG folders created (only in C 3 folders created) & all the directries are blank ,no data and no kernel no profiles .

Same as well in datbase instance box as well.

Please suggest how to proceed further

Hi

Just do the proper uninstall steps. don't remove any folder in C:\usr, its has having lots of updates in database instance because all you SAPMNT share folder is created on DB instance.

Just uninstall the ASCS instance and do the fresh installation.

Hi deepak ,

Please suggest what are the possibilities to reslove the issue .

Hi SAP Basis,

You need to set the saploc sharing on X:\usr\sap folder both on ASCS instance and DB instance.

Once you set this it will work fine during the installation procedure.

saploc is the share name of \usr\sap directory.

Right click on SAP folder > properties > go to sharing..check if one of the sharename is saploc or not. (if saploc is not there, then create click on New Share > give the name as saploc >

Userlimit - maximum allowed.

Click on permission - Assign full control.

FYI, the sap folder will have two share names, 1. sapmnt 2. saploc

if sapmnt is there, don't remove it.

Hi,

If the folders are blank you may ignore it. Do not delete at the moment as it will not cause any harm to your system.

CCMS and PRFCLOG folders may be created manually for CCMS alert configuration. For CCMS you may copy or define the new path and configure the alerts. There is no problem with that.

Hope this helps.
