saposcol & saphost agent in Kernel 720

Former Member

Hi,

I just updated my systems to Kernel 720 from 700.

I installed saphost agent as required, but I see saposcol still started in my processes.

How to proceed ? Is it normal ? Should I somehow uninstall saposcol ?

In note:

Note 1636252 - Installing a 7.20 kernel in SAP Web AS 7.00/7.01/7.10/7.11

3. Installing SAPHOSTAGENT

For releases 7.00 and 7.01 (7.0 Enhancement Package 1), you must also  install the package SAPHOSTAGENT.SAR in the latest 7.20 version available (in accordance with Note 1031096). On IBM i, you must  also update SAP HostAgent to the latest 7.20 version when you use SAP  systems based on NetWeaver 7.10 or 7.11 (7.10 Enhancement Package 1).

Afterwards, you must delete the call of the program SAPOSCOL from all the start profiles. (not Windows)

How can I do that ?

I am running on AIX 64B.

Please check this link

This might help you .

Once you install saphostagent , make sure the sapinit file under /etc/init.d  exists and whenever the system starts this is executed and saphostagent is started along with the host.

The saposcol would then be started along with the saphostagent .

Then when you start the sap instances , the saposcol would not start as only 1 saposcol can run for a host.

hi,

For any reason, if saposcol / saphostexec /sapstartsrv not running, can we use /etc/init.d/sapinit for restarting the services? Will it cause any issues, if when host is still running?

Thanks,

Raj

HI

check the version of the hostagent

restart the service, restart the agents

clear the cache

restart the server

and try again

If you use /etc/init.d/sapinit , then all agents both host and instance agent would be started and stopped . You can rather use the following

saphostexec -stop

saphostexec -start

to just stop and start the SAP host agent and not the instance agent .

In this case , only saposcol / saphostexec /sapstartsrv would be restarted . The instance specific agent would not be restarted. This way we can just restart the SAP hostagent without impacting the running sap instances on the host.

The below link gives a very good info on the infrastructure of SAP agents .
