Definition


Profile parameter: DIR_HOME
Responsible: Günter Zachmann

Meaning:

The parameter specifies the data system default access path.

Appropriate values depend upon the computer operating system type.

  • deleting the active flag for this parameter (an the right of the screen) causes the standard installation environment to be assumed ( strongly recommended! )
  • an explicit setting of this parameter requires knowledge of the operating system and the installation environment.

other parameters affected:

  • all parameters for addressng file, which refer to the above access path.

Related parameters:

  • DIR_INSTALL ( installed, unchangeable files)
  • DIR_INSTANCE ( installed, changeable files)
  • DIR_TEMP ( temporary files )
  • DIR_HOME ( other files for internal purposes)

The defaults of the following access paths are derived from DIR_INSTALL:

  • DIR_EXECUTABLE ( Executables, Machine type-dependent files)
  • DIR_BINARY ( other files with binary contents)
  • DIR_LIBRARY ( .. )
  • DIR_RSYN ( access path to RSYN, ABAP Syntax )
  • DIR_GRAPH_LIB ( Graphic libraries )

The defaults for the following access paths are derived from DIR_INSTANCE:

  • DIR_LOGGING ( local system log )
  • DIR_CT_LOGGING ( central system log )
  • DIR_PROTOKOLLS ( error messages, other recordings )
  • DIR_DATA ( ... )

The defaults for the following access paths are derived from DIR_TEMP:

  • DIR_ATRA ( ATRA traces )
  • DIR_SORTTMP ( temporary sort files )
  • DIR_PAGING ( Paging file )
  • DIR_ROLL ( Roll file )

Additional notes:

  • Active and default values of current system profile parameters can be displayed in profile maintenance.
  • The resulting values of profile parameters can be derived from the values of other profile parameters or their defaults. The resulting values can be generated and displayed with the help of the stand-alone program "sappfpar". (see also the stand-alone diagnostic program "sapparar")
