Former Member

Dear All,

we are following three-system landscape with Dev & Qas on the same server & production server in a Cluster.Now I am going to start the production server installation but I have few query before starting the installation:

1. The Dev+Qas server is sharing a common transport directory (/usr/sap/trans). The production server needs to share the same transport directory.I have few options:

a)Should I need to share the common transport directory during the installation

b)I install the production server first then I can share the transport directory which is currently being shared by Dev & Qas system

c)I need to share the Common transport directory first & then start the installation so that during installation Production system writes into the Common traansport directory

Please advise.

Thanks in advance,

Sandipan

Hi,

First mount NFS filesystem from your (DEV/QAS) on your production server. Then proceed with your installation.

Hi Sandipan,

After Production system installation U can move trans dir location to common transport directory.Their are certain profile parameter changes dat needs to be done.

SAPTRANSHOST:- point it to common trans dir host

DIR_TRANS:-
hostname\sapmnt\trans

Restart sap after changing parameters.

Dear Ganesh,

Thanks for your help but still need some guidance.Before or after installing SAP,when should I share the common transport directry which is currently hosted at development system.

If I share the directory /usr/sap/trans then by which name should I share it; like /usr/sap is 'saploc'. Is there any name by which the directory /usr/sap/trans should be shared.

Thanks in advance,

Hai,

You have to first decide which system you are going to use as Domain controller/host of Central Transport directory.

You can use the following naming convention
SAP<sid>\sapmnt\trans, this path needs to be set in the profile parameter DIR_TRANS.

<sid> above points to the system which is the domain controller.

just mount /usr/sap/trans from DEV (or QA, whatever is the source filesystem) and that will do.

Hi,

By mounting, do you mean just to share it as we are using Windows Server 2003 x64 bit system, so just by sharing will it work.

Need your suggestion on whether can I install the production system first & then by sharing the transport directory from Dev( or Qas) it can join in the exisitng transport directory. As during installation of production server also,the system will create /usr/sap/trans. If I don't share the already exisitng /usr/sap/trans of Dev system, can I share it later so that production system can join into the common transport directory without any problem.

Please guide,

Thansk & Regards,

Sandipan
