Here's the problem/question:
My systems use the inclusion table SPTH to determine what directories on the server can access the SAP system. Any time something tries to access the system from a location on the server other than what is in that table, I get an error stating "OPEN_DATASET_NO_AUTHORITY". I'm performing an EHP6 upgrade and In all of my other systems (SND,DEV,QAS) I've just gone to SE16 and entered the paths to the the upgrade directories and problem solved. In QAS, I had to change the client role from production to test in order to have the edit/change option in SE16, but as soon as I did and made the change, I hit continue in the SUM and the error was gone. I'm reluctant to make the client role change in PRD as I'm not sure what ramifications might be. I manually entered the the paths using SQLplus and they show up in the table when I view it in SE16, but I still get the error like nothing was done at all.
I'm wondering, does the table get re-read when you make a change in SE16 and maybe on startup or is there something else going on here? If I change it in SE16 it works, but if I manually change the table using SQLplus, it does not work.
