Getting Started

Executing the Program

On the Microsoft Windows operating system, the administrator opens a CMD/DOS console to type the commands and verify the results. On the Start main menu of MS Windows, select the Execute... submenu and type: cmd in the new displayed popup window. Launch the bart+.bat script from the directory:

  • BART Tool: <DRIVE>:\<INSTALL_DIR>\bin\
  • BART Server system: <DRIVE>:\usr\sap\<SID>\CAB<SAP_INST_NB>\script\

Under UNIX and Linux, the administrator opens a console to type the commands and verify the results. Launch the ./bart+.sh script from the directory:

  • BART Tool: /<INSTALL_DIR>/bin/
  • BART Server system: /usr/sap/<SID>/CAB<SAP_INST_NB>/script/

Note

The following information is set at installation time by SAPinst:

  • <SID> is the identifier of the SAP CC system
  • <SAP_INST_NB> is a number automatically assigned to the unique instance of the SAP CC BART Server system
  • <INSTALL_DIR> is the installation directory of SAP CC BART Tool
