Installing the Add-On

The Add-On will be installed using the SAINT transaction (Add-On Installation Tool).

Please open the Installation Package menu and select the Load Packages entry and then From Front End. If you are using a more recent versions of the Add-On Installation Tool, select SAR archives from Front End.

Alternatively, move the PAT files located in the DATA folder to your transport directory’s EPS Inbox. In this case open the Installation Package menu, select the Load Packages entry and then From Application Server. If you are using a more recent version of the Add-On Installation Tool, select EPS files from application server.

In more recent versions of the Add-On Installation Tool, as an alternative, you can also copy the SAR files to the directory EPS\download (or EPS/download respectively) of your transport directory. In this case open the Installation Package menu and select the Load Packages entry and then SAR archives from application server.

Please refer to the "Readme.txt" file in the SAP Components folder for the assignment of the PAT files to the various installation, attribute and patch versions.

The warning “The archive is not signed!” can be ignored because only archives that were created by SAP® can be signed.

You can determine the SHA-1 hash values of the corresponding files and compare them with the information in the checksums.txt file. Please note that this link always leads to the SHA-1 hash values of the latest Add-On. If the linked SHA-1 hash values do not match your control sums please contact the Audicon Support.

Click the Decompress button.

The archive will be loaded, decompressed, moved to the EPS Inbox and deleted.

Load all available SAR files in the same way as the Add-On from the SmartExporter SAP Components/AddOn/700/DATA folder on the CD or copy the PAT files that are also contained in this directory to the EPS Inbox of your transport directory. (If you have downloaded the SmartExporter version, you can find the files in the SAP Components/SmartExporter SAP Components/AddOn/700/PATCHES directory in the download package).
