Run it as SIDADM, ADM or OFR user has environment variable PATH=/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run:/usr/bin

Or just change current directory to kernel directory:

qsh

cd /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run

./sapcar -xvf xxx.sar

Hi Tulio

Why don't you just transfer the file to windows folder, download sapcar.exe for x86 from service marketplace on your windows system to the same folder wher you ftped LSMW180.CAR and then:

command prompt>navigate to the directory wher u have ftped the file>

SAPCAR -xvf LSMW180.CAR

Tranfer all the resultant files(except SAPCAR) to iseries back and you are all good...

Hope that helps....

Thanks

Hi Saludos,

I would say, you should then run it on windows ... this is the same, but works perhaps easier for you ...

i5:

sapcar '-xvf LSMW180.CAR'

Windows:

sapcar -xvf LSMW180.CAR

... easy, isn't it ?

In Qshell mode it enables you to run most UNIX type commands: run command "qsh"
