SAP Gateway Installer

Getting started

The SAP Gateway is installed using the sap-gateway-installer command line utility which is downloaded from the SAP website as part of the SAP Gateway installation package when adding a gateway. See instructions for adding a gateway in the SAP User Guide.

To run the utility unzip the file into any directory and run from a Windows terminal:

sap-gateway-installer --help

Note that this utility must be run with administrator privileges.

The installer provides the following commands to manager a SAP Gateway:

Status

To check the current status of an installed SAP Gateway:

sap-gateway-installer status

This will also check if a newer version of the SAP Gateway is available for download.

Install

sap-gateway-installer install 
  --token INSTALLATION-TOKEN  
  [--account SERVICE-ACCOUNT] 
  [--location INSTALLATION-DIRECTORY]

token: the installation token that will be provided by SAP when the gateway is created.

location: the directory where the SAP Gateway will be installed. By default this is "C:\Program Files\Coherent Research\SapGateway".

account: the account that will be used when running the SAP Gateway. If an account is omitted the Local System account will be used however it is recommended to create a new Windows account to run this service.

If an account is specified the utility will prompt for the account password. Note that the installer does not verify that this password is correct, it simply configures the Coherent-SAP-Gateway Windows Service to use it. The password will not be verified until the service is started.

Update

If a new version of the SAP Gateway is available download the installation package again from the SAP website and unzip it into the current directory.

sap-gateway-installer update
