Hi experts,
I think there is a possibility, to have SAPCAR installed global on a host.
So that I can execute from everywhere "SAPCAR -xvf..:" without having the sapcar-file in the same directory.
At least we have this on some hosts available.
I've a new host and want to realize this now on them also (other hosts have been setup from other persons).
Everything I found yet about sapcar is, that you can download it and execute it directly in the directory with the file which has to be uncard.
But how can I make the sapcar avilable global // install sapcar?
Kind regards
Hello Christian,
If by "to have SAPCAR installed global on a host" you mean being able to start the SAPCAR without specifying the full path of the SAPCAR program, then you have to modify your PATH environment variables in order to point to /sapmnt/SID/exe.
This way, no matter the current directory you're in , you can trigger SAPCAR without specifying the full path of the executable.
Meaning, with the PATH variable updated accordingly, you will use this syntax :
SAPCAR -xvf "my_.sar_or_.car_file"
instead of
/sapmnt/SID/SAPCAR -xvf "my_.sar_or_.car_file" .
no matter the directory you're in.
HTH,
Best regards,
Steve.

Christian,
If you are logging onto your SAP host as the <sid>adm user, then the instance executable folder should already be in the user's path. As most OS operations should be performed as the sidadm user anyway, it shouldn't be an issue. The kernel executables should include sapcar.exe along with them in that folder.
Cheers,
Matt
