of saposcol. To complete the process, a plain text configuration file is
needed that tells sapcpe which files need to be included in the copying
process.
A file of this type is usually called sapcpeft. If sapcpeft exists, sapcpe
will automatically be executed as the first step of the next instance
restart. It needs to be created in the central executable directory. For
each additional file in the central executable directory it needs to contain
a line with the following format:
<filename> local_copy check_exist
SAP also delivers template file lists within the central executable
directory. These files have a filename of the format *.lst. The following
files override sapcpeft: frontend.lst, instance.lst,
instancedb.lst, tools.lst and inhouse.lst. Either the *.lst files
should get removed, or they should be used instead of sapcpeft. In this
case, they need to be changed to include all executables and libraries.
If the local executable directory only holds links, sapcpe is not
configured correctly. It is not an option to manually copy the local
executables in this case. The next instance restart would replace the
local copies with symbolic links.
For latest information on how to utilize sapcpe refer to the SAP online
documentation.
