Updating SAP ABAP Systems on UNIX and Linux: Oracle

Performing Follow-Up Activities for User root

To perform the necessary adjustments after the update, you need the user authorizations of the user root.

Context

Procedure

  1. Log on as user <SID>adm.
  2. Execute the following commands:

    su - root

    If you have one kernel directory: cd /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run

    If you have two kernel directories: cd /sapmnt/<SID>/exe/(n)uc/<platform>

    If Oracle software is installed under operating system user oracle:

    ./oraroot.sh <SID>oracle

    If Oracle software is installed under operating system user ora<dbsid>, and <DBSID> equals <SID>:

    ./oraroot.sh <SID>

    If you have an MCOD system or the database name does not correspond to the SAP system name, use the following command to run oraroot.sh:

    ./oraroot.sh <SID> <DBSID> (Note the blank between <SID> and <DBSID>.)

    cp -p ./icmbnd.new ./icmbnd

    chown root:sapsys icmbnd

    chmod 4750 icmbnd

    exit

  3. Start the SAP system again.
