Hello all.
We are running a system update on an HA System with two application servers.
The issue we are facing is that when the background jobs scheduled by SUM run on the second Application Server, they fail with an ABAP dump of type RAISE_EXCEPTION with a further explanation of "WRITE_FAILED".
We have identified that the reason this happens is because the background job is trying to write its log under F:\usr\sap\<SID>\SUM\abap\log, and of course that path does not exit on the second App server. When the job executes on the first Application server we have no issues, as this path exists there.
We have gone through all the relevant guides and OSS Notes and we could not find any information on how to handle this issue.
Shouldn't the log be written to a path similar to \\<server_name>\sapmnt\<SID>\SUM... instead of <Drive>:\usr\sap... ?
Is there a workaround to this that we missed in the guides / notes?
Our workaround is to shut down the second App server... which is ridiculous in my humble opinion, but desperate times call for desperate measures, I guess.
Has anyone faced this issue and has a better solution?
Thank you in advance for any help offered.
