SAP Note 27564 - Set SAPREORG directory to another hard disk

Symptom:

The SAPREORG directory is too small. The customer wants to set it to another hard disk. How do you do this?

Solution
Unix: Create a new file system on a hard disk which is large enough, and then create a link.

Example: System P11, new file system /bigdisk:
su - root
mount /bigdisk
su - orap11
rmdir /oracle/P11/sapreorg
mkdir /bigdisk/sapreorg
cd /oracle/P11
ln -s /bigdisk/sapreorg sapreorg

Note: If you do not want to use a soft link, further changes are necessary, namely entries in /oracle/P11/dbs/initP11.dbs and /oracle/P11/dbs/initP11.sap. The above-mentioned method is therefore preferable.
Windows NT: Create a new directory which is large enough. Change the parameter SAPREORG with "Control Panel -> System -> User environment variables".

Note: It is not necessary to modify the 'init' files, as the environment variable is entered there instead of the path.
