Installation procedure

Download and install the SAP ARCS Adapter agent on your SAP computer.

Before you begin

Before starting with the installation procedure, import the SAP libraries sapjco3.jar and libsapjco3.so. For more information, see the section related to the SAP libraries import.

Download the SAP ARCS Agent Adapter package and the release notes from IBM Security Verify Governance Application Adapters page.

Review the release notes, and extract the SAP ARCS Agent Adapter package on your local computer that has SAP system installed and configured.

Installation steps

To install the ARCS SAP adapter agent, you must perform the following steps:

  1. Import the two preselected Change Requests into the SAP system (Workbench Requests (Unicode or Non-Unicode) and Customizing Requests).
  2. Extract the two preselected packages: for each package, two files named Kxxxxxx.xxx and Rxxxxxx.xxx are extracted.
  3. Copy the file Kxxxxxx.xxx into the directory <DIR_TRANS>/cofiles.
  4. The owner of the files must be <SID> adm (or equivalent role in Microsoft environment) and the permissions must be set to 755.
  5. Copy the file Rxxxxxx.xxx into the directory <DIR_TRANS>/data.
  6. The owner of the files must be <SID> adm (or equivalent role in Microsoft environment) and the permissions must be set to 755.
  7. Import the change requests into the target system:
    • In the STMS transaction, select the import buffer of the target system.
    • Append the two CR <SID>Kxxxxxx to the import buffer.
    • Import the two CR <SID>Kxxxxxx into the target system.
  8. In the SU01 transaction, create a user of type “Communication” and then assign it to the SAP role Z_ARCS_REMOTE.

Generally, the suffix <DIR_TRANS> coincides with the path /usr/sap/trans.

However, this indication might vary from system to system.
