Please select your SAP® base release to display the correct paths and file names.

Paths and file names depending on the SAP® base release used:

For the SmartExporter SAP® components version 7.0.0000 or higher the Add-On and the transport will be shipped in two different versions for the SAP® base release 700 and higher: one version for SAP® base releases 700 to 731 (in the subfolder 700 on the SAP® components CD) and one version for SAP® base release 740 or higher (in the subfolder 740). The reason for this is that the implementation of the storage locations for SAP® base releases lower than version 740 are not supported for Azure services.

To not impair the readability of the help topics, all topics with version specific paths or file names contain a drop-down list at the start of the topic. After switching to your SAP® base release in this drop-down list, all paths and file names will be shown in the correct form throughout the topic.

Installing the Add-On

Note:

If you install the Add-On and use any other logon language than English or German, some dialogs may not be displayed correctly. If you still want to use a different logon language, you can supplement your logon language with German or English in the client 000 with the SMLT transaction. This ensures that all dialogs are displayed correctly and user interface strings that are not available in your logon language will be displayed in the selected supplementation language (German or English).

 

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

  1. 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.
