Installation under UNIX 

  1. Create the subdirectory saprouter in the directory /usr/sap/ .
  2. Get the most recent version of the SAProuter from sapserv3, directory /general/misc/saprouter/ . Please refer to the related file README in this directory. Copy the programs saprouter and niping to the newly created directory /usr/sap/saprouter .

    3. If you cannot copy the programs from sapserv3 , you can copy a version (may be obsolete) from your directory /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run .

  3. In file /users/<SID>adm/startsap_<hostname>_<instance number> , enter the following lines:

    4. #

    # Start saprouter

    #

    SRDIR=/usr/sap/saprouter

    if -f SRDIR/saprouter ; then

    echo "\nStarting saprouter Daemon " | tee -a $LOGFILE

    echo "----------------------------" | tee -a $LOGFILE

    $SRDIR/saprouter -r -W 30000 -R $SRDIR/saprouttab \

    | tee -a $LOGFILE &

    fi
  4. Maintain the route permission table in directory /usr/sap/saprouter . If you want to keep it in another directory or under a name other than saprouttab , you must specify this with the SAProuter option -R (see Option R <routtab>).
