Sun Java System Access Manager Policy Agent 2.2 Guide for SAP Enterprise Portal 6.0 and Web Application Server 6.40

Deploying the Agent Application for SAP Enterprise Portal 6.0

The task described in this section is required. Deploy the URI for the agent application using the deployment container. This task is the same for SAP Enterprise Portal 6.0 and SAP Web Application Server 6.40. However, this section appears in the post-installation task descriptions for each deployment container to enable a smooth transition from one task to the next.

The agent application is a housekeeping application used by the agent for notifications and other internal functionality. This application is bundled with the agent binaries and can be found at the following location:

PolicyAgent-base/etc/agentapp.extension

where extension refers to the .war extension or the .ear extension. The extension varies depending on the deployment container.

For more information about the Policy Agent base directory (PolicyAgent-base), see J2EE Agent Directory Structure in Policy Agent 2.2.

The agentapp application has to be deployed as a post installation step. In order for the agent to function correctly, this application must be deployed on the agent-protected deployment container instance using the same URI that was supplied during the agent installation process (optionally, you can add a hyper link to and from the relevant prompt). For example during the installation process, if you entered /agentapp as the deployment URI for the agent application, then use that same context path to deploy the .war or .ear file in the deployment container.

Using the administration console or command-line utilities of your deployment container, deploy this application using Application Context Path as the URI specified during agent installation.
