SAP agent on unix/linux: permissions and ownership of spool file created by R3_GET_JOB_SPOOL

  • 1.  SAP agent on unix/linux: permissions and ownership of spool file created by R3_GET_JOB_SPOOL

    Hi Community, 

    We are using AE 11 and we need to change or (at least) configure the operating system user id which is used to save SAP spool files created by the command "R3_GET_JOB_SPOOL". Currently the SAP agent is started under the root account because the UC4.ServiceManager uses the same userID. 

    1) Would it work if we create a new user, i.e. "automic" and start the SAP agent under this account (properties configuration of the ServiceManager)? 
    2) Are there any side-effects we have to consider - like access to SAP libraries, java environment, etc? 
    3) Will the normal execution of SAP jobs be affected by this change? 

    Thanks!

    Hi Dat_Nguyen-Tat_9196,

    1) There's no need to start the SAP agent as root. 
    2) Regarding the environment you just have to include the folder which includes the SAP libraries (libsapjco3.so, sapjco3.jar) into your LD_LIBRARY_PATH for Linux/Solaris, LIBPATH for AIX and SHLIB_PATH for HP-UX.
    3) No.

    Cheers,
    Alexander
