Setting up the Agent for Java EE/JMX (SAP NetWeaver)

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.

The agent creates an additional log file in SAP format. This file is automatically stored in the agent's subfolder "log" in the installation directory. It can easily be processed with SAP Tools.
