Conversion to new user concept

Hello,

After running the CONVUSRCPT command at STEP(*CHECK) in preparation for moving from classic user concept  to the new user concept, the log file has these errors that need to be resolved before proceeding:

For each SID that I run the report for, I am getting this error for a directory in /usr/sap/tmp :

Checking global directory tree: /usr/sap/tmp 

ERROR: /usr/sap/tmp/as4exec_dummylinks Not an R3GROUP file but SAPINST   /*NONE

The directory as4exec_dummylinks is empty and has these authorisations:


Object . . . . . . . . . . . . :   /usr/sap/tmp/as4exec_dummylinks

Type . . . . . . . . . . . . . :   DIR                           

Owner  . . . . . . . . . . . . :   SAPINST                       

Primary group  . . . . . . . . :   *NONE                         

Authorization list . . . . . . :   *NONE 

                       

              Data     --Object Authorities--

User        Authority  Exist  Mgt  Alter  Ref

                                            

*PUBLIC     *RWX                            

SAPINST     *RWX         X     X     X     X

              Data     -------------Data Authorities-------------

User        Authority  Objopr  Read  Add  Update  Delete  Execute

                                                                

*PUBLIC     *RWX         X      X     X     X       X        X  

SAPINST     *RWX         X      X     X     X       X        X 

I assume I can just delete this directory - or do I need to change the  owner and primary group?

The other errors are numerous and are all referencing objects in a subdirectory of /sapmnt/<SID> named /exe$/uc   - 

e.g.

  ERROR: /sapmnt/QAS/exe$/uc/antlr.o might be broken or circular link or is

   otherwise corrupted. Please confirm and correct.                        

  ERROR: /sapmnt/QAS/exe$/uc/ar_AA.ISO8859-6 might be broken or circular   

   link or is otherwise corrupted. Please confirm and correct.             


Under /sapmnt/QAS there is this extra directory exe$ which contains STMFs, SYMLNK->PROGRAM  objects and 2 directories jkit and uc.  The kernel is Release 720.


Directory  . . . . :   /sapmnt/QAS

exe                    DIR

exe$                   DIR

global                 DIR

j2ee                   DIR

patches                DIR

profile                DIR


the exe$/uc directory contains  SYMLNK and SYMLNK-> STMF objects


Directory  . . . . :   /sapmnt/DEV/exe$/uc

Object link            Type        

alsnmptrap_mt.o        SYMLNK      

antlr.o                SYMLNK      

ar_AA.ISO8859-6        SYMLNK      

ar_AA.ISO8859-6__6 >   SYMLNK      

bwgis.so               SYMLNK->STMF

ccmagent_readme.tx >   SYMLNK->STMF

ccmsping               SYMLNK->STMF


The dates on these objects is Feb 2011, so it looks safe to delete these as the /sapmnt/<SID>/exe/uc directory has objects with 2015 dates from the last applied kernel.



Thanks
Michael.

as far as i know, the ..../exe$/... directory is a copy of .../exe/... to determine changes on kernel-components.

i guess, the links (to ILE-Objects ?) are broken because of deleted kernel-library ?

so i would delete that links, too.

Hi Christoph,

Thanks, after deleting the exe$ and as4exec_dummylinks directories, and running the Check again on each system, all reports are now showing no errors.

Finished checking directory trees without errors.

Hi Michael,

Yes you can delete directory /usr/sap/tmp/as4exec_dummylinks if it is empty. It will be recreated automatically when it is needed again with the correct credentials.

Yes you can delete the whole /sapmnt/QAS/exe$ directory tree, as it is only the backup of a previous /sapmnt/QAS/exe created by a preceding APYSIDKRN call when the new /sapmnt/QAS/exe was built. If you are nervous save it before deleting.

Best regards
