Installing the Agent for SAP - Basics

This document guides you through the new installation of an SAP agentA program that enables the de-centralized execution of processes (such as deployments) on target systems (computers or business solutions) or a service that provides connectivity to a target system (such as for databases or middleware). An agent is also an object type in the Automation Engine. [Formerly called "Executor."] See also: host.

The following guide describes how to install an agent in an AE system in which authentication is not used. Additional installation steps are required before the agent can be started and used, if you intend to use one of the available authentication methods. More detailed information is provided in the document Advanced Security.

Automic strongly recommends installing the agent in a separate directory (such as C:\AUTOMIC\AGENT\SAP).

Before you start the installation, make sure that the Java agents can only connect to CP port numbers that are lower than 65536. If they use a higher port number, the agent cannot start and aborts with an error message. This limitation is caused by Java and affects the agents for JMX, Databases, SAP and RA.

It is not required to install the agent on the same computer as the SAP system.
