Loading Installation Packages (SAP Library - SAP Add-On Installation Tool (SAINT))

Loading Installation Packages

Use

Before you can install or upgrade an add-on, you must first load the relevant installation package. SAP makes these packages available:

on add-on CDs (add-on installations and add-on upgrades)
in the SAPNet - Web Frontend (Support Packages)
on PCS CDs

Prerequisites

The Change and Transport System (CTS) is correctly set up.

There is enough freespace in the transport directory (UNIX: /usr/sap/trans ).

You need the required authorizations for Transaction SAINT.

You must have already called Transaction SAINT.

You are using the newest version of SAINT.

Procedure

Installation packages from the SAPNet - Web Frontend or from CDs are compressed. You must unpack these packages before you can use them further.

Load the packages from the SAPNet - Web Frontend or mount the relevant CD.
Log on with the following user:

Operating system	User
UNIX	<sid>adm
AS/400	<SID>OFR
Windows NT	<SID>adm

Switch to the following subdirectory in your system:

Operating system	Subdirectory
UNIX and AS/400	/usr/sap/trans
Windows NT	<drive>:\usr\sap\trans

Unpack the archive containing the package using the following command:

Operating system	Command
UNIX	CAR -xvf /<CD_DIR>/<PATH>/<ARCHIVE>.CAR
AS/400	CAR '-xvf /QOPT/<VOLID>/<PATH>/<ARCHIVE>.CAR'
Windows NT	CAR -xvf <CD_DRIVE>:\<PATH>\<ARCHIVE>.CAR

The unpacked packages are automatically placed in the EPS inbox of the transport directory (UNIX: /usr/sap/trans/EPS/in ).

To load the package in your system, in the initial screen of Transaction SAINT choose Load.

You see a list of the packages you loaded that are now known with all their attributes in the SAP System and can be handled by SAINT in the correct way.

To go back to the SAINT initial screen, choose Back.
