Thank you Mothukuru Satish Kumar and my query has been answered

Which shell is the best to use, either CSH or SH

[Former Member]

SAP installs by default the users with the csh.

Kind regards,

Thats fine, why do we use two *sh files. i mean shell *.CSH and *.SH. cant we save in anyone of them

[former_member191418]

switch user to <SID>adm and execute ls -al

edit hidden file .sapenv_<hostname>.csh or .sapenv_<hostname>.sh (depending on shell you choose) by adding the following line (for example): using vi editor

alias cdpro 'cd /usr/sap/$SAPSYSTEMNAME/SYS/profile'

Then logoff/login and check with command "alias" & "cdpro"
