Procedure


  1. Create the subdirectory saprouter in directory /usr/sap/.

  2. Get the latest version of the SAProuter from the SAP Service Marketplace ( http://service.sap.com/patchesInformation published on SAP site, 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.

  3. (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

    Caution

    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.

  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>).
