SAPEVT from external box

[Former Member]

I want to call sapevt from a non-sap server. Any ideas on how to do this without getting an error about not having security to the kernel folder?

Thanks,

I use this command:

sapserver\sapmnt\DEV\sys\exe\run\sapevt Z_EVENT -t pf=
sapserver\sapmnt\DEV\sys\profile\DEV_DVEBMGS00_SAPSERVER nr=00

this works like a charm, just supply read-only access. if you do not want to provide access, copy the kernel files and file DEV_DVEBMGS00_SAPSERVER on your other server.

Eric,

Your technique will only work if the external server is also a windows box which is not always the case !

What is nice with the SAPEVT is that it exists for a lot of different operating systems.

you are right, Olivier. She posted on the Windows forum.. so, I expect she uses Windows across the board.

anyways, if she uses a sapevt program made for her OS and copies the instance profile locally, it should work.

Eric,

I thought about this precision because, in my company, we are a full windows shop for SAP systems but nearly all other systems are Unix based.

So we use SAPEVT on different Unix flavours to "wake up" SAP on windows.

It's very useful for file interfaces instead of polling directories.

Hi,

I don't really understand your question but I can tell you that we are runnign SAP R/3 4.7 on Windows 2003 and that we run SAP jobs which are triggered by SAPEVT running on AIX external non SAP systems. Works great !
