download .SAR file with SAPCAR.exe

[Former Member]

Hi

I have downloaded SAPCAR.exe from marketplace (SAPCAR 7.10 -> Windows on IA64 64bit)

I have to use this to extract .SAR file.

In command window I came to the path with .SAR file and write SARCAR -xvf <filename.SAR>

But I got error: 'SAPCAR' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I have also rename SAPCAR.exe to just SAPCAR. I also have place the SAPAR file in the same path as the .SAR file.

Is there anything else I should do?

Where should I place the SAPCAR.exe file? And with what name?

Thank You

Hi,

you need to show the path where SAPCAR exists. you can set env path for that.

setenv path <location of SAPCAR>

and then give a try.

Hi

Thank You for the answer.

I try that now, but get the following error:

setenv is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file.

the same error as with sapcar...

I think maybe this is a general problem... do You have any hint about what the problem can be?

try the following

export path=<location of SAPCAR>

Hi,

What is your operating system?

for windows, I suggest to copy the SAPCAR.exe into Windows\System32 folder.

For Unix/Linux, export the path as suggested before or add the path to PATH env. variable

Hi

I got the very same message.

C:\JOBB\Installasjon\SAP_7_0_BI_CONT_ADDON_7_06_installation_ny>export path = c:\JOBB\Installasjon\SAP_7_0_BI_CONT_ADDON_7_06_installation_ny\

'export' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

As far as I can see, you are on Windows.

(It would have helped if you had answered questions about your operating system, btw.)

So please follow the instructions for Windows.

Forget about commands setenv and export, they are for Unix.

Did you put SAPCAR.exe program into the folder suggested above?

Or alternatively, call it with full path name, like:

C:\Path\to\SAPCAR -xvf <filename.SAR>

hope this helps

Hi

I use Windows...

C:\JOBB\Installasjon\SAP_7_0_BI_CONT_ADDON_7_06_installation_ny>

c:\JOBB\Installasjon\SAP_7_0_BI_CONT_ADDON_7_06_installation_ny\SAPCAR -xvf K-706AHINBICONT.SAR

'c:\JOBB\Installasjon\SAP_7_0_BI_CONT_ADDON_7_06_installation_ny\SAPCAR' is not

recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file.

Hi,

FInd the location of SAPCAR file, copy the path and add it to environment variables ( go to my computer properties and in advance tab, you can find environment variables tab. add the line path=<SPACAR file location> example:/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run)

or as an alternative you can just type path=<SPACAR file location> example:/usr/sap/<SID>/exe/run before executing SAPCAR from anywhere

Then you can execute SPACAR from anywhere.

And what is the name of SAPCAR file in Windows?

You wrote you renamed it from SAPCAR.exe to SAPCAR.

If so, did you rename it back to SAPCAR.exe ?

Hi,

1. Please note the path where SAPCAR.exe utility is present
2. If OS is Windows, open Command Line and enter set PATH=%PATH%;<Path to SAPCAR utility obtained in #1>

3. If OS is Linux, enter command export $PATH=$PATH:<Path to SAPCAR utility obtained in #1>

4. Go to the directory where .SAR file is present and run the command.
