Sap Os Directory Structure

The SAP OS directory structure is organized with main directories for /usr/sap, /sapmnt, and /oracle. The /usr/sap directory contains SAP system directories organized by SID and instance name containing system, log, work, and data files. Shared directories like /sapmnt/SID hold profile, global, and executable files. Transport directories under /usr/sap/trans contain configuration, log, buffer, and data files for transport between systems.
