Great effort Girish.!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience..... 🙂
I do not find folder persos under path /sap/bc/bsp/. We are at BASIS and ABAP 740 level. How do I execute Step 2?
Hi Jitendra,
You should find the persos in the hierarchy sap/bc/bsp/persos/mainapp as shown in the below screen print.
If you didn't find the path persos has not configured sucessfully or not yet configured in your system.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi Girish:
Thanks for replying. I had understood your step2 on finding this folder. However I don't see those folders in that path in my installation. My BASIS folks are asking me the process on where to get those folders in that path?
Is there a link or document that guides one on how to do this? Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.

We figured out the missing piece. After installing personas 3.0 SP2 we are now at a place where would like to be. Its now up to Jitendra Mehta and the Dev Team to take it to the next level
Thanks
