Possible value:

<dir> is the new SAP database directory:

  • UNIX: /oracle/<NEW_SID>

  • Windows: <drive>:\oracle\<NEW_SID>

This directory must also contain the sapbackup directory.

Note Note

With Windows, the sapdata directories can be distributed across several drives. When making a database copy, you can specify a target drive for each drive (see m|-mode). If you do not specify a target drive, all files are copied to the drive defined in the parameter.
