We recommend that you always use the most current version of the SAP Management Console (SAP MC), otherwise certain features described in this documentation might not be available.

Procedure

  1. Go to the SAP Software Distribution Center of the SAP Service Marketplace at http://service.sap.com/swdc.

  2. Log on with your SAP Service Marketplace ID.

  3. In the navigation bar, choose   SAP Software Download Center   Support Packages and Patches   Browse our Download Catalog   Additional Components   SAP Kernel   SAP KERNEL <OS>   SAP KERNEL <Release>   Database independent  .

  4. Select the appropriate sapmc_<version>.sar archive from the Download tab.

  5. Make sure that the SAPCAR tool is available on the host where you want to update the SAP Management Console.

    You need the SAPCAR tool in order to be able to decompress the sapmc_<version>.sar archive. For more information about SAPCAR and how to get it, see SAP Note 212876.

  6. Use SAPCAR to decompress the sapmc_<version>.sar archive to a local directory by executing the following command:

    Windows: SAPCAR.exe –xvf sapmc_<version>.sar

    UNIX, IBM i: ./SAPCAR –xvf sapmc_<version>.sar

  7. A directory sapmc is created during the extraction. Copy this directory to $(DIR_EXECUTABLE)/servicehttp of the system for which you want to use the SAP MC.

    When doing this you replace all files in the servicehttp folder of your existing SAP MC with the files from the decompressed sapmc_<version>.sar.
