SAP Directories

The document outlines the directory structure in SAP systems, including shared directories, main directories, temporary directories, and transport directories. The shared directory contains the SAP instance profile, central system log, and executable files. The main directory contains the physical parent directory, transport directory, and SAP system parent directory. Temporary directories contain virtual storage data, logs, and work for each SAP instance. The transport directory is the main location for transport files, logs, buffers, control files, and other transport-related information.
