To Prepare to Install Agent for SAP Enterprise Portal 7.0/Web Application Server 7.0

Perform the following pre-installation tasks:

1. Ensure that the Policy Agent 2.2 for SAP Enterprise Portal 7.0/Web Application Server 7.0 is supported on the desired platform as listed in Supported Platforms and Compatibility of Agent for SAP Enterprise Portal 7.0/Web Application Server 7.0.

2. Install SAP Enterprise Portal 7.0/Web Application Server 7.0 if not already installed.

3. Ensure that the SAP Enterprise Portal 7.0/Web Application Server 7.0 instance that will be protected by the agent is not running.

4. Create a valid agent profile in Access Manager Console if one has not already been created.

   For information on how to create an agent profile, see Creating a J2EE Agent Profile.

   To avoid a misconfiguration of the agent, ensure that you know the exact ID and password used to create the agent profile. You must enter the agent profile password correctly in the next step and you must enter the agent profile ID correctly when installing the agent.

5. Create a text file and add the agent profile password to that file.

   Ensure that this file is located in a secure directory of your choice. You will refer to this file during the agent installation process.

   With the agent profile password in this file, stored in a secure location, you do not need to enter sensitive information in the console. A valid password file can have only one line that contains the agent profile password.

6. Ensure that the agentadmin utility has execution permissions

   The following command is an example of how you can add execution permissions for this utility:

   chmod +x PolicyAgent-base/bin/agentadmin

   Caution –

   Always issue the agentadmin utility as the SAP Instance User, SIDadm.
