DB instance install - PRFCLOG drive

[Former Member]

I recently installed a distributed abap ecc system. When I was installing the DB instance, I forgot to choose the correct installation drive. So now, I have a usr/sap drive sitting under B:/ drive but ideally I would have liked it under 😧 drive. How can I move it to 😧 drive without facing any issues ?

Since its a DB instance, the /usr/sap drive only contains tmp, CCMS and PRFCLOG folders. I don't know what process creates files under these folders since there is no SAP application installed on the DB instance host.

I see saposcol and hostctrlexe running on this host but they seem to be using a different drive for the executable. Is this drive being pointed by some environment variable maybe ??

Please help on advising how can I move /usr/sap from C: drive to 😧 drive without worrying about any unforeseen issues. OR can I just delete this directory ?

Please also see the contents of dev_coll file (under PRFCLOG) to see if it gives you any clues:

Thanks

BV
