Installing Backint Agent

The downloaded installation script is stored in the /tmp directory. You can execute the script in this directory.

Run the following command as user root to install Backint Agent. Enter the system ID of the server where Backint Agent is installed for SID in the command, for example, bash install.sh --install S99.

bash install.sh --install SID

The install.sh script will:

• Locate the installation package (JAR file) in /usr/sap/{SID}/SYS/global/hdb/opt/hw-backint-agent/ and install Backint Agent.
• Download a compatible JRE version.
• Provide the hdbbackint script for invoking Backint Agent. The hdbbackint script cannot be modified.
• Send a message to notify of updating /usr/sap/{SID}/SYS/global/hdb/opt/hdbconfig/hw-backint-agent.conf after the installation is finished.

In the high availability (HA) scenario, you need to repeat the preceding operations to install Backint Agent on the standby server.
