Installation

 
Preliminaries
The SAP Java Resource Adapter requires J2EE @j2ee.spec@ compliant Application Server. Besides that SAP Java Resource Adapter @release@ requires at least SAP Java Connector @jcorelease@ with appropriate RFC runtime library to be installed on the Application Server on which you want to run SAP Java Resource Adapter (SAPJRA). Your Application Server may allready have being delivered with SAP Java Connector (typical for SAP J2EE Engine) and proper RFC library. If you don't have above mentioned version of SAP Java Connector yet you can download it from SAP. You will find the proper RFC library in the package you have downloaded. Please refer to the SAP Java Connector installation documentation how to install SAP Java Connector and RFC library.
 
SAP JRA Installation
Extract the downloaded package
@arive-name@ into an arbitrary directory {sapjra-install-path}.
For your application development you may need to add {sapjra-install-path}\sapjra.jar to your CLASSPATH environment variable.
 
SAP JRA Deployment
Please refer to your Application Server documentation, how to use Deployment Tool to deploy a Resource Adapter in the server environment. Depending on the Applicatin Server Deployment Tool you will either need the file sapjra.rar or both files sapjra.jar and ra.xml
Please refer to SUN documentation and your Application Server documentation how to develop and deploy applications (beans, servlets and jsp's).
 
SAP JRA Upgrade
To upgrade from an older version of SAP JRA, just overwrite the old SAP JRA installation with the new package (see SAP JRA Installation). You will also need to upgrade SAP JCo. (See SAP JCo documentation, how to upgrade Jco. Please make sure that you delete all old runtime libraries (sapjra, sapjco.jar, jRFC11.dll, jRFC12.dll), since these might interfere with the new libraries).
After installation, you will need to redeploy SAP JRA to activate the upgrade.
