SAP Useful Commands for UNIX administrator

How to check the files of SAP instances:

cdpro
ls -la | grep -v "\." | grep SAPSID

Example for GZRO sid:

gzsap1:gzsadm 21> cdpro
gzsap1:gzsadm 22> pwd
/local/sapmnt/GZRO/profile
gzsap1:gzsadm 23> ls -la | grep -v "\." | grep GZRO   
-rwxrwxr-x    1 gzsadm   sapsys        10065 Oct 16 2012  GZRO_DVEBMGS01_gzsap1

How to check for SAP processes:

ps -ef|grep ...sapSAPSID

Exampe when sap sid is GZRO:

gzsap1@root:/home/root # ps -ef|grep ...sapGZRO
