Help Library on Aix file system

Dear Experts,
Users in my company are using SAP GUI  for windows as a front end tool to access the SAP Application
My Application is runinig on AIX, I was configuerd the Help files on windows machine " i shared directory on this machine for every one , i put the help files there, from SR13 i put the path ,and it was working fine"
but now i want to move this HELP directory to the AIX file system, i don't know how to make this file system accessed by the SAPGUI
Could you please help me on how can i use one file system on AIX as shared folder containig the HELP files and can be accessed by the windows SAPGUI?
Thanks
Sherif

Hello Sherif,
Please go to transaction FILE. There you will file an entry for NETSCAPE_PATH. This is the path you need to give in SR13. Actually this is a logical path which has to be mapped with the physical file path which will be nothing but the location of your online help files. The mapping will be done in FILE itself.
Next you need to make settings in SR13 and give this path.
Addtionally check :

Also the OSS note 101481

  • How to connect SharePoint Document Library with Local file system?

    Hi
    I have a SharePoint Document library and in my local system i have 3TB files. It is very difficult to upload 3TB files in SharePoint.
    I want a file details in SharePoint Document Library but physical file would be in local.
    While click the file in Document library. The document should open from local.
    Anyone help me on it.
    Thanks & Regards

    Hi,
    your requirement doesn't work out-of-the-box as all data uploaded to SharePoint needs to be stored in SQL database. Thus in your case 3 TB of fileshare would need to move to SQL.
    In case you don't want to go this way, there are 3rd party vendors who offer Software like AvePoint Connector. Products like these use SQL RBS (Storage Externalization API) so that files remain in your file system but metadata is kept in SharePoint. If you
    need more information on that, please let me know.

  • AIX File system design

    Dear Friends,
    As i am going to install ECC6.0 ABAP on AIX5.3.
    i Would like to know how should i design the File system on the AIX, and if you can help me with the concepts of Volume Group and Logical Volumes.
    Regards
    Ayush

    Hi,
    This is brief about the VG (volume group) LV (logical volume) .
    VG is collection of PV (physical volumes)
    There is physical hard disks grouped into volume group.One PV can belong to one VG only.
    LV(logical volume) Can reside in only one VG however can spread across number of disks in the same VG.
    F/s is created they are of type JFS,JFS2.
    There are lot of rules to before designing this structure.
    what and all disks to be mirrored etc for data security as well as performance.
    As the mirror log and origlog are not on the disk.
    And also to decrease I/O traffic on Disk the Table spaces and f/s are need to be given importance while designing.
    Allocation happens in PP level .LP and PP are mapped as the PPs are not contegious blocks  so with the help og LP it is made seen as contigious allocation is done.
    Internally PP and LP will be mapped.
    VG>LV-> FS (Logical)----LP(logical partiton)
    PV (physical)----PP(physical partiton)
    You can get more information from the IBM redbooks to design and configure the f/s.
    Thanks.

  • Help with partitions and file systems [SOLVED]

    Hi, i have been using Ubuntu for a while, and now i want to move to Arch. I've probed it in a PC and i like so i want to make que change.
    But, before installing Arch, I have 2 doubts. I red the beginners guide and also the instalation guide. There it says that if better to have diferents partitions for  /, /boot/, /home, /usr, /var, y /tmp
    Usually, i alwayes used something like this:
        * /boot (32megas)
        * /swap (512 megas)
        * /root (6 a 8 gigas)
        * /home (80 gigas aprox)
    It's really better to also have partitions for /var, /usr y /tmp? o some of them? and, in that case, wich size should i give them? because i don't want to make them too small, but i don't want to waste disk space neither.
    Adn that takes me to my second question, wich filesystem is better for each partitionn? in many places, i read taht JFS its good for /var or that XFS if better for /home and big files
    I thinked to use something like this:
        * /boot (ext2)
        * / (JFS)
        * swap
        * /home (XFS)
    Is a good design? or should i use other filesystem like reiserfs, etc... and for /var, /usr and /tmp partition, wich one should i use?
    Thank you
    Ps: This Pc is gonna be a desktop pc
    Ps2: sorry for my bad english. it is not my real lenguage
    Reason of edit: added the swap partition. I forgot it

    thanks everybody for the help,
    kaola_linux wrote:@Thalskarth - it's better to have /var especially if you're using ext3 or other filesystems which was designed for larger files as your partition for /home and /.  Having a seperate partition for /var would be nice (backup purposes and reinstalling without downloading the entire package whole over again). 5gb would be sufficient for your /var, anyway you can always resize it to your needs.
    so, a 5gb partition in reiserfs would be OK for a /var
    Inxsible wrote:
    Lot of people also use XFS which is known to have better performance with huge files. I think EXT3 offers a good balance...because I am never sure whether my home partition will have all huge files or not..same with my external drive...so i just use EXT3
    If you have a specific partition for movies or some video/audio editing that you do..you may wanna consider XFS too. I don't do all that...so I have never used XFS. I wouldn't know the exact performance difference between ext3 and XFS.
    Yes, in many places i red that XFS is better for big files. But i couldn't fine wich is the meaning of "big file". Does it mean a 200 mg file? or a 4.4gb one??
    the same applies to reiserFs, what is a small file? a 1mg one or a 4kb one?
    I have alwayes used ext3, i thinked in XFS and JFS just to give them a try.
    amranu wrote:I have no idea about better filesystems, all my partitions are ext3 (soon to be ext4)
    Inxsible wrote:One thing that makes me wanna keep EXT3 is that EXT4 is coming out (soon?) and you can upgrade from 3 to 4 without having to reformat and having to make backups of your current data.
    really is cominf soon? i didn't think in ext4 beacuse many places said that was in development for many years... meybe they were a bit out-of-date
    Edit: i search in the wiki and it says that since 11 october 2008, ext4 is "stable" and is been included since kernel 2.6.28 as stable realase, is to early to prove it? or it better to wait a while??
    thanks.
    and, does anyone try the JFS one?

  • Help with a fcpx library that is locked "could not be opened. Read-only file system"

    Hi all,
    I recently moved all my fcpx projects/events to a new Harddrive - I thought I did this correctly by copying/duplicating all projects/events from within FCPX.
    When I last used FCPX all the projects/events were there - no issues.  Also, when I look at package contents - everything is still there in terms of events and file sizes.  
    All the library files are on an external hard drive, on an encrypted disk image.  Now a week later I have tried to open FCPX and I get the following error
    "The document “MND_Z_FCPX” could not be opened. Read-only file system" and nothing will open.
    Have checked permissions - these all seem in order.  OSX is10.9.5 
    Any suggestions as to what might be the issue? 
    Thanks in advance.
    R

    the permissions themselves look ok - they have my two computer profiles as read/write.   I also note that on some occasions the library has opened in my other Computer profile, but not in the one that I want it to open.
    So I think you're right, there is something with permissions happening here.  I keep a work and personal computer profile.
    Don't know how it happened - but the volume is definitely Read Only - even though I've created a Read/Write permissions for it

  • IPhoto9: "library could not be opened because the file system of the library's volume is unsupported."

    Can please anyone help me with this issue.
    After upgrading from iPhoto8 to iPhoto9 my library won't open anymore. I have stored all my pictures on a NAS (Buffalo Link Station Duo). It all worked fine but since upgrading to iPhoto9 I do have the following problem:
    When opening iPhoto I receive a message that the library needs to be updated. I assume that iPhoto should just do this sort of automatically in order to upgrade to iPhoto9.However, next message I receive then is
    "The library could not be opened because the file system of the library's volume is unsupported."
    Apple support so far does not seem to be able to solve my issue. Anyone else having had the same issue and having a solution to this?
    Thanks a lot for your help.

    There is no solution.
    IPhoto needs to have the Library sitting on disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Users with the Library sitting on disks otherwise formatted regularly report issues including, but not limited to, importing, saving edits and sharing the photos.While you have been lucky to date, many folks with a library on a NAS found that it worked for a while and then the problems started.
    Workaround: Put the Library on a Disk Image formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and store that on the NAS. But the real solution is to use a properly formatted disk for the Library.

    Hi Cody
    Sorry to hear about your difficulties.
    It should be very uncommon for Pages to crash. I've been using it for years on a daily basis and it's only happened to me once except when I was trying to replicate a bug for someone.
    Your experience might be a symptom of an underlying problem with your system. I recommend that you back all your stuff up now.
    Whilst trying to isolate the issue, I recommend that you manually create frequent backups of your documents using the Finder after a successful save until you can trust it.
    Next, use disk utility to do a repair permissions on your hard drive.
    Also, after quitting Pages, try trashing your ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWorks.Pages.plist file (back it up first if you want) and restarting Pages.
    If this doesn't work, there are loads of troubleshooting tips here: http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/faqs.html. I also recommend that you read the tips on system maintenance.
    In case you didn't already know this, Pages files are actually packages. Control-click on the icon and select Show Package Contents to see what's inside. You may be able to recover some text from the files in there. I don't believe there are any repair utilities. Nor is the file format available.
    I hope this helps you.

    Several problems exist.
    1.
    Back up your Mac prior to making any changes to its file system. Time Machine has not been configured properly To learn how to use Time Machine read Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support.
    2.
    You inadvertently installed adware. You do not need to download or install anything to fix it.
    For a description of how this may have occurred, how to avoid it in the future, and for Apple's recommended actions read How to install adware. Apple's instructions are linked in the Recovery Procedure near the end of that document. Read and follow them carefully. Pay particular attention to the easily overlooked passages directing you to restart your Mac when required.
    3.

    So I am new to the forum and would like some helpful (non-snobbery) advice regarding my iMac. I am currently working on an iMac G5 - 1.8 GHz PowerPD G5, equipped with 1.5 GB DDR SDRAM. I've just cleaned up the hard disk and installed Leopard. Here is my dilemma:
    The machine has been performing VERY SLUGGISH. Even with 1.5 GB RAM. It has been used in the past to run some CAD software (Lightwave), but I've since uninstalled it. I primarily use this computer for print design and run CS2 on it. For the most part, I work primarily in Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign and occasionally work with large (150 - 500 MB) image files for large format applications. I understand this will hog a considerable amount of RAM and it typically does. However, even with smaller image and graphic files (10 - 100 MB), the machine creeps along at snail speed.
    I cleaned up an almost exhausted Hard Disk, installed the new OS, and have done all my current software updates. Additionally, I've ran the Disk Utility and Repaired Disk Permissions to find only one real issue. Here is the log from that scan:

    So in conclusion, I am at a loss as to why the machine is so **** slow. Anyone have any ideas? I'm not much of an IT dude, so I've pretty much exhausted my knowledge of this issue. Thanks!

    I have no suggestions but like you I would love answers. Phone support gets me nowhere except 75 minute hold times. I am so disappointed with Apple. In one year, on a single machine, I have had 2 logic boards replaced (as part of the lower RAM slot recall), a hard drive replaced, an optical drive replaced, two batteries replaced (as part of another recall) and a power cord replacement... now my computer is running worse than it has ever run before - thanks to the terrible Beta version of leopard that crapple crappled on us.
    I too am getting the same error messages while running disc utility (which takes about an hour now - as applecare described to me, it is because the machine is having a hard time indexing the spotlight feature (??)). But I think they are benign messages and not to be worried about. I wonder if errors related to these messages are really why our machines are performing at the level of the Apple IIGS. What troubles me is the tremendously slow performance - applecare had no ideas and said its best to wait until the update is released. it seems they are still in information gathering phase using suckers like me who ponied up 150 dollars to be unknowing apple product testers. It takes about 30 minutes to edit an album in itunes with color wheels spinning incessantly. I did a clean install before upgrading. System preferences crashes, wireless network access spotty to nonfunctional, and the computer has at times spontaneously gone to sleep. I feel foolish for believing the applecare specialist when he told me 3 weeks ago that my broken HFS volumes, invalid leaf structures and a disc management tool that could not be located would be sorted out by installing leopard. maybe they should rename 10.5 from leopard to turtle.
    The last year has been tiresome and costly because apple does not create or adequately support their products; I wont be recommending apple products to my students or have my students learn using them in my classrooms ever again.
    if only my rant could fix my machine...

  • IPhoto The library could not be opened because the file system of the library's volume is unsupported.

    Have Yosemite installed on both my MBA and Mac Pro. iPhoto 9.0 running well on the MBA but when I tried opening iPhoto on my Mac pro get the message "The library could not be opened because the file system of the library's volume is unsupported." This is after I upgraded iPhoto.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    While holding down the command & option keys boot into iPhoto and have it repair the Library.  If that does not work then download "Library Manager" and have that program work.  I found that better than the Apple program.
