Why is SAPHOSTAGENT and saposcol not included in kernel distribution?

205 Views

Hello,

We are running ECC 6.04 with WAS 7.01 and Kernel 7.01.

As it is recommended to migrate to kernel 7.20, I have read the note 1636252,

to upgrade my kernel.

It is documented that we must install SAPHOSTAGENT.SAR.

I am wondering why they have separated these few files from the kernel distribution.

1. As it is needed by the kernel, why is it shipped separately?

2. is true to say that saphostexec -install just copies binaries in exe dir and create rc/init scripts?

Or does it do something else?

Thanks in advance for your answer.
