Hi Ashley,

It seems that you are installing a saprouter on a windows computer.

In that case you need to install the saprouter as a windows service in order for the saprouter to be able to run even if no session is open on the server.

A windows service is the equivalent of a unix daemon.

Thanks Oliver..But I want to iNstall SAProuter in a separate Windows desktop & not in my server..How to do that??

Install the SAProuter as service as follows:

ntscmgr install SAProuter -b <drive>:\usr\sap\saprouter\saprouter.exe -p "service -r <parameter>"

What should be the parameter??

Hi Ashley

That's the start parameter, which is the parameter(s) will be executed as when SAProuter is being started as a windows service. For instance: ntscmgr install SAProuter -b <drive>:\usr\sap\saprouter\saprouter.exe -p "service -r -R C:\SAPROUTER\saprouttab -K

-r start saprouter

-R location of saprouttab file

-K activate SNC

To activate SNC:

1. download sapcrypto library from SWDC.

2. extract to have files sapcrypto.dll, sapgenpse and ticket.

3. set environment variable SNC_LIB and SECUDIR.

4. generate the certificate request : sapgenpse get_pse -v -r certreq -p local.pse u201C<Distinguished Name>u201D

5. insert the certreq content at http://service.sap.com/saprouter-sncadd

6. shortly you'll receive the certificate and save the content as file srcert, install the certificate: sapgenpse import_own_cert -c srcert -p local.pse

7. create the credential for the user which is used to start saprouter: sapgenpse seclogin -p local.pse -O <user_for saprouter>. It'll create file credv2.

8. then you could install saprouter as a windows service and start it.

ntscmgr is an executable if you search the OSS notes is attached to one of them... basically download it and you'll be able to execute that command.
