Does anyone have a copy of the ICMadmin.sar they could email me?

Many Thanks

Hi,

In order to import the current SAP Web dispatcher version, you have to replace the required files and restart the SAP Web dispatcher.

Download kernel package DW.SAR (matching your installation, operating system, database, and so on) from the SAP Service Marketplace.The package is called dw_.SAR.

The following files from this package are required for the SAP Web dispatcher:

Executables: sapwebdisp, icmon, icmbnd

Package for web administration: icmadmin.SAR

If you use Unicode, the following libraries are required additionally: libsapu16, libicuuc, libsapu16_mt, libicudata , libicui18n

For more help refer,

Hope this helps,

I have done that twice and I am still getting the same problem / error - format error in header.

I am still not sure why, I just am looking for a version that will extract!

Thanks for your help

Hi

You can find SAPCAR.EXE in your server installation folder.By using this, you can extract .sar file by this command

sapcar -xvf <put the .sar file name>

I have done this already - mentioned in my first post.

I still can't get this to extract - has anyone else tried the latestet version?
