Create the subdirectory saprouter in directory /usr/sap/.
Get the latest version of the SAProuter from the SAP Service Marketplace ( http://service.sap.com/patches, as described under Installation of the SAProuter. The SAProuter is in packet saprouter*.SAR; the niping program is also in this packet. Copy programs saprouter and niping to the newly created directory /usr/sap/saprouter.
If you cannot copy the programs from SAP Service Marketplace, you can copy a version (may be obsolete) from your directory /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run.
(Optional) If you want to start the SAProuter on the same computer used for an SAP instance, insert the following line into file /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run/startsap:
#
# 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 -R $SRDIR/saprouttab \
| tee -a $LOGFILE &
fi
Insert the lines before the commands to start the SAP instance.
Normally the SAProuter runs on a different computer. If this is so, this step is omitted and you start the SAProuter as described in Starting the SAProuter.
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>).
