Installation error when installation files are kept in another box

[Former Member]

Hi There,

I am trying to install NW04s with Portal. It is on windows platform. Installation files are kept in different bix, and i have mapped(using option map network drive) and from there i am able to start my installation, after filling all parameters and checks installation starts. But it fails at ABAP Import step.. and i get error message:

required system resources are missing..

Import Directory '\<Server location>\51032246\EXP1 does not exists

Import Directory '\<Server location>\51032246\EXP2 does not exists

Import Directory '\<Server location>\51032246\EXP3 does not exists

While all these directories are present in the mapped drive and they are very much accessible with current user.

Can you suggest any thing i have missed out here.

Thanks and regards,

Sudhir

As Ajai has said; the drives will be mapped as the user running sapinst, but your database user (ora<sid> etc) will be trying to connect to them, for this user the drives will NOT be mapped. Suggest you use full UNC path names instead of drive mappings (//servername/share/dir/files).

Since your install is already running it may also be possible to create a logon script for the database user to map the drives when that user logs in.

Good luck!
