Software Provisioning Manager 1.0 SP32 is part of Software Logistics Toolset 1.0 SP30. SAP Host Agent is an agent that can accomplish several life-cycle management tasks, such as operating system monitoring, database monitoring, system instance control and provisioning. When you install a new SAP system or instance, the SAP Host Agent is in most cases installed automatically on the SAP system or instance host. It is only required to install the SAP Host Agent separately if one of the following is true: ● There is no SAP system or instance on the host. ● The SAP system or instance running on the host has a kernel release lower than SAP kernel 7.20 and the host does not yet have an SAP Host Agent. During the installation of new SAP instances with SAP kernel 7.20 or higher, the SAP Host Agent is installed automatically (integrated installation). ● You have upgraded your SAP system to a release with a kernel release lower than SAP kernel 7.20 and the host of the upgraded system or instance does not yet have an SAP Host Agent. Section Installing the SAP Host Agent Separately [page 7] describes how to perform the installation using Software Provisioning Manager 1.0 . Installing the SAP Host Agent Without Using Software Provisioning Manager You can also install SAP Host Agent by downloading the SAPHOSTAGENT.SAR archive and running the installation from the command line.

Context The SAP Host Agent is installed automatically during the installation of new SAP instances with SAP kernel 7.20 or higher (integrated installation). This procedure is only for hosts with no SAP Host Agent running on them, due to the following reasons: ● There is no SAP system or instance on the host. ● The SAP system or instance running on the host has a kernel release lower than SAP kernel 7.20 and the host does not yet have an SAP Host Agent. ● You have upgraded your SAP system to a release with a kernel release lower than SAP kernel 7.20 and the host of the upgraded system or instance does not yet have an SAP Host Agent. SAP Host Agent has the following executable programs and services: ● The SAPHostExec service ● The sapstartsrv service SAPHostControl ● The operating system collector saposcol ● The DB4STATS program and command ● The SAP ILE daemon Note The installed programs are automatically started when the host is booted. Note On IBM i, the installed programs are started by the auto-start job (ADDAJE)SAPINIT in subsystem QUSRWRK, which was created during the installation. The subsystem QUSRWRK automatically restarts after every initial program load (IPL). Note On IBM i, the installed programs are started by the auto-start job (ADDAJE)SAPINIT in subsystem QUSRWRK, which was created during the installation. The subsystem QUSRWRK automatically restarts after every initial program load (IPL). Caution You must leave the subsystem QUSRWRK in the program QSTRUP (or whatever name
