Hello all,
i have to update manually the SAP Host Agent on a NetWeaver 7.31 Java stack and I followed the instructions on
Installing SAP Host Agent Manually - SAP Host Agent - SAP Library
As of the instructions i have to use the "saphostexec.exe", which should be part of the newer version i have downloaded... unfortunately, that is not the case and the SAR file contains far less files as the currently installed version.
Is the documentation not up to date or has something changed? Can I just copy & past the extracted files and overwrite the old ones in the current folder or do i have to use any other tool?
Regards,
Andreas
Hello Andreas,
no, you should not do any copy & paste. Which saphostagent package you have downloaded? I would like to have a look at this package on service market place. If you download a saphostagent package for another patch, are you missing also some executables? Did you use the latest sapcar to extract the archive?

Hello Andreas,
the saphostagent archive SAPHOSTAGENT197_197-20005735.SAR
for Windows on x64 64bit, release 7.20 and patch 197 looks good, saphostexec.exe is available in this archive. And if I look at the size for the saphostagent archive, then with each new patch the size is a little bit bigger, so I would say some information is added to each archive with a new patch and not removed. Please try to download it again, probably something went wrong during download, and please use the latest sapcar to extract it.

Alwina
Hello Andreas,
probably I see what is the problem. If I exctact saphostagent archive with sapcar.exe the extracting stops because of this message:
SAPCAR: could not open for writing sapcar.exe (error 28). The process cannot access the file because
it is being used by another process.
The saphostagent archive contains a sapcar.exe executable. If I rename sapcar.exe and extract saphostagent archive with this renamed sapcar_2.exe, then it works and I can upgrade my saphostagent with "saphostexec.exe -upgrade" without problems.

Alwina
As far as I have seen, the process remains the same.
Either use the above method to install/upgrade mentioned in
1031096 - Installing Package SAPHOSTAGENT
or the link you shared.
OR use SWPM to install this.
