How do you share \usr\sap folder as sapmnt and saploc ?

[Former Member]

In this thread here:

Juan Reyes explained how to get around the fact that the sapmnt directory is not created during NW7 trial version insall.

(This directory is needed for the log of operations such as client copy.(

In particular, he advised us to:

"share \usr\sap as sapmnt and saploc".

Trouble is, I don't know how to do this.

Could someone explain in detail how to do this??

I am having the same problem with client copy and would like to understand how to fix the problem.

Thanks

Hey,

Sharing a folder is depended on the OS you are using (unix, windows and etc).

Please search in google: "share folder <OS>" where <OS> is your application server operation system, for example "share folder windows".

If you still having problems, please specify the operation system you are using...

Hi Ilan -

Thanks for the tip.

Here's what I did in Windows XP

In my root directory E:\SAP, there's already

a path \trans\log.

So I did two things:

a) as you suggested, I shared SAP as sapmnt, thereby providing a \sapmnt\trans\log;

b) I also created a new sapmnt directory under E:\SAP, a new trans directory under sapmnt, and a new log directory under sapmnt ... resulting in availability of the folder

E:\SAP\sapmnt\trans\log.

One of these did the trick, because my client copy is now running.

When it finishes, I'll check both directories to see where the log file got written, and this will tell us which was the correct approach ... (a) ... or (b) ....

Thanks very much again.

Best regards

Hey Ilan -

Turns out your way was correct - to share E:\SAP as sapmnt (since E:\SAP already has a \trans\log under it.)

In other words, E:SAP\trans\log is where the log wound up getting written.

Thanks very much again.
