Hi Brian,

You need to make sure that the files PRDAPO_32.CFG and SYSTEM.CFG are present in /usr/sap/trans/config/PAP. These files should contain the Instance Host and other info needed to start SAP.

If you have your usr/sap/trans configured to point to another machine, you need to create the /QFileSvr.400/ directory for that other machine.

Also, make sure that all the relevant user ids and passwords are on both machines as well.

Cheers,

Dan

Operations did clear prior to the restore and wiped out the /sapmnt/trans directory on the development system -

Thanks
