Error in phase 4: Creating node $(DIR_TRANS) with type DIRECTORY failed.

[Former Member]

Hello SAP Gurus,

when trying to install SAPNW2004sSneakPreviewABAP in phase 4 I get error:

ERROR 2006-08-08 08:52:40

CJS-30129 Creating node $(DIR_TRANS) with type DIRECTORY failed. Original exception text was: syslib.filesystem.nodeCreationFailed:

Unable to create node
pc05\sapmnt\ with type DIRECTORY: can't create parent node..

I searched SDN and found as possible error causes: lacking authorization of installation user or users nspadm and SAPServiceNSP, wrong JRE version, but those are not applicable.

Any other suggestions?

Dear All,

I also had the same issue and managed to resolve after disabling firewall and virus guard.

Hi

Looks like Transport directory is missing.Share the usr\sap directory as sapmnt this will enable sapinst to address transport directory as
SAPTRANSHOST\SAPMNT\trans

thanks

Hello Prince Jose,

thanks for the reply, it brought me to the solution: I had to de-activate the Windows Firewall and hat to check 'Network users are allowed to change files'.

I know made it till phase 17, quite a step.

Best,

Hi Simon,

You should deactive not only your firewall, but also your antivirus sofware.

Peter,

did this, but thanks for the reminder. Now made it till the final phase 24. Getting a dump with RADDBDIF. Seems the alias SAPTRANSHOST does not work.

Best,

place the following entry in the \WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc

10.10.0.10 <host name> SAPTRANSHOST

Raja,

thanks for the hint. Problem was solved meanwhile by de-activating the firewall. Minisap is working fine now (without the suggested entry in the hosts file).
