Updating SAP Analytics Cloud Agent

How to update the SAP Analytics Cloud agent.

Prerequisites

Apache Tomcat is installed. For supported versions, see System Requirements and Technical Prerequisites.
Java Standard Edition Runtime Environment (JRE) is installed. For supported versions, see System Requirements and Technical Prerequisites.

Undeploy the existing SAP Analytics Cloud agent running on Apache Tomcat.
If Apache Tomcat cannot undeploy the contents successfully, do the following:
1. Stop Tomcat.
2. Under the Apache Tomcat installation folder, delete \webapps\C4A_AGENT\ and any subfolders and files.
3. Restart Tomcat.
Download SAP Analytics Cloud agent from the SAP Support Portal. Unzip the downloaded file and rename the WAR file to C4A_AGENT.war.

The agent is available on the SAP Software Downloads page. Expand By Category, select SAP Cloud Solutions SAP ANALYTICS CLOUD CONN SAP ANALYTICS CLOUD CONN 1.0 SAP ANALYTICS CLOUD AGENT 1.0 and download the latest version.
Unzip the downloaded file and rename the WAR file to C4A_AGENT.war.
Extract the package and copy the file C4A_AGENT.war to your Tomcat directory.
The agent will automatically deploy when Tomcat is restarted. For more information, see Tomcat Web Application Deployment.
Restart the Tomcat application server for the settings to take effect.

If you also are creating a connection to SAP BW or SAP ERP, it is recommended to install the SAP JCO before restarting the Tomcat application server. For more information, see Installing the SAP Java Connector (JCo).
