Hi All,

We are encountering issues with the SAPCAR command for the SAP Router.file.

solman:somadm 51> cd /usr/sap/saprouter/
solman:somadm 52> ls -ltr

Appreciate if somebody could assist with diagnosing the correct permission issue here.

Hello Indraneel,

What are the permissions of the folder itself (/usr/sap/saprouter/)?

Check it with "ls -lad /usr/sap/saprouter".
