Summary :
SAP Note details the introduction of a new UNIX directory structure in SAP NetWeaver 2004s, specifically for new installations. It explains the setup where the SAP kernel is installed in a central directory (DIR_CT_RUN) and copied to instance-specific directories (DIR_EXECUTABLE) on system start using sapcpe. The note offers guidance for configuring upgraded systems to this new format, crucial for starting with stopping all instances, defining necessary directories and profile adjustments, such as replicating DIR_CT_RUN, DIR_EXECUTABLE, DIR_PROFILE, and _PF parameters across profiles. It outlines steps for ensuring correct paths in dual-stack systems and reconfiguring SAP CCMS agents.
