Updating SAP ABAP Systems on UNIX and Linux: Oracle

Meeting the Requirements for the SUM Directory

Context

When the SUM archive is unpacked on the host where the tool is initially started, the SUM directory is also created and data and programs are copied to this directory. For more information on the SUM directory, see SUM Directory.

The update directory can be a soft link to another physical directory.

Procedure

Make sure that there is enough free disk space for the SUM directory. This space is required for the update and the logs and is distributed among several subdirectories. For an estimation of the disk space needed for the SUM directory, see the update guide that is specific to your product.
