Entering content frameStructure of Executables after Standard Installation Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

In a standard SAP System, executables (program files) are stored in a single executables directory. The name of this directory is operating-system specific. The following section explains the UNIX configuration.

After a standard installation with several instances in a homogenous SAP System, the executables are located in a directory on a central server (host or host system). Normally, it is the host on which the central instance of the SAP System was created. Normally, additional dialog instances are also installed on other hosts. These distributed R/3 instances use the central executables directory together over your network using NFS. See the following graphic.

File Structure after the Standard Installation

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text

In UNIX systems, the name of the default directory for the executables used by the SAP System is /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run. The directory contains a soft link to either the dbg directory or the opt directory (dbg is the default here).
The dbg directory contains executables that can be debugged (or a soft link to a directory that contains such files). The opt directory contains optimized executables without troubleshooting information. The opt directory can also contain a soft link to a directory containing optimized executables.
