Validating a shared folder setup applies only if you plan to transfer data using a Shared Directory. This section can be skipped, if the FTP transfer is used. The validation of the shared folder setup needs to be performed before any subsequent steps in this guide can be performed. This validation is typically performed by your SAP Basis team.
Step 1: Validating folder access from the SAP application server
Start the SAPGUI.
Use the ODI SAP user and password to connect to the SAP system and client.
Go to transaction AL11.
Select the shared folder.
Double-click the shared folder to test the directory declaration.
This should report a successful connection. If not, please contact your SAP basis team. Do not continue until this test passes.
Note:
SAP uses the OS user <sid>adm to connect to the directories declared in AL11.
