This document guides you through the new installation of an SAP agent.
The following guide describes how to install an agent in an AE system in which authentication is not used. Additional installation steps are required before the agent can be started and used, if you intend to use one of the available authentication methods. More detailed information is provided in the document Advanced Security.
Automic strongly recommends installing the agent in a separate directory (such as C:\AUTOMIC\AGENT\SAP).
Before you start the installation, make sure that the Java agents can only connect to CP port numbers that are lower than 65536. If they use a higher port number, the agent cannot start and aborts with an error message. This limitation is caused by Java and affects the agents for JMX, Databases, SAP and RA.
It is not required to install the agent on the same computer as the SAP system.
The following SAP support packages are required for using the job optionsNo printing, Report send status and Report status by mail for spool-list receivers:
The files can be found in the directory IMAGE:AGENTS\SAP\UNIX or IMAGE:AGENTS\SAP\WINDOWS.
