Hi Ganesh,

You can try one thing go to usr\sap\SID\......\exe directory and look sapstartsrv.exe Just execute this file this will ask you to fill up some information about userid and password and select the profile it will registered that service.

But not sure about this

it will check the existence of $(DIR_INSTANCE)\work and will change its current working directory to this directory.

the service is started using a Startprofile.

If $(DIR_INSTANCE) is not explicitly is set in the Startprofile it defaults to


saplocalhost\saploc\$(SAPSYSTEMNAME)\$(INSTANCE_NAME).


saplocalhost\saploc is translated to the directory structure if a share saploc exists on the local computer.

the share saploc was recreated (in other words you create a share named SAPLOC pointing to a different directory than <sapdrive>:\usr\sap) you will get this error message.

$(xxx) are possible profile parameters in start and instance profiles.

DIR_INSTANCE is normally not set

SAPSYSTEMNAME and INSTANCE_NAME are set in any case.

SAPLOC can only exist once on an application server.

this is not a directory structure known to me (SAP).

may be you have installed a standalone gateway on a different drive and you create a Share SAPLOC on E:\DBGate\sap on it?

If so revert SAPLOC to point to the \usr\sap Directory structure of the DVEBMGS instance.
