Installing the Agent for SAP - Details

This document guides you through the new installation of an SAP agent.


1.

Installing the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (Windows)

This step is only relevant when installing the SAP Agent on Windows.

Starting with JCo 3.0.0, JCo running on Windows requires the Visual Studio 2005 C/C++ runtime libraries. See SAP note 684106 for details on how to install them.

You can skip this step when the required version of the package is already installed. Refer to the Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs to see if the package is available, and if so, which version.

2. Installing the Java Runtime Environment (JRE)

If the required version of JRE is already available, you can skip this step.

3. Installing the Agent (UNIX)
4. Installing the Agent (Windows)
5. Installing the SAP Java Connector
6. Importing the AE Interface
7. Creating a CPIC User
8. Creating Connections Objects
SAP Connection type
ABAP Basis Remote Function Call
Java Basis Internet
Process Integration Internet
System Landscape Directory Internet
9. Setting up the Agent Object
10. Start the Agent

The agent can also be started by using the ServiceManager.

Note that the storage limit should be set to at least 256MB (or 512MB) for starting Java agents (Databases, RA, JMX, SAP). You can specify a value for the storage limitation of Java applications by using the start parameter -XmX. Specifying a value that is too low can cause the agent to crash. The default value depends on the Java version that is used.

The Java parameter -Xrs ensures that the agent ends properly when a normal end is initiated. Automic recommends using this parameter. More detailed information is provided in the Java documentation.
