1. SAP Function Modules are packed in SAP transports, located in the Precise v9.6 download or on the DVD. The transports can be found in the \Utilities\SAP\ folder. Alternatively, you can download the transport files separately from the Precise Customer Portal. For further details, contact Precise Customer Support.
2. To install the Function Modules in the SAP system, you must import the transports into the SAP system.

3. Select the appropriate transport zip file(s) below, and copy them to the target SAP application server:

   SAP Basis Release	Zip Files
   4.6C, 4.6D, 6.x non-Unicode	Precise_Transports_Basic.zip Precise_Transports_46c.zip
   4.6C, 4.6D, 6.x Unicode	Precise_Transports_Basic.zip Precise_Transports_46c_Unicode.zip
   7.x	Precise_Transports_Basic.zip Precise_Transports_700.zip
   BW 7.x	Precise_Transports_Basic.zip Precise_Transports_700.zip Precise_for_SAP_BI_7.0_Transport.zip

4. Copy the transport ZIP files into the transport folder of the SAP system (usually /usr/sap/trans for Linux/UNIX systems or \\<SAP_hostname>\sapmnt\trans for Windows systems).

5. Use a program such as unzip or WinZIP (on Windows) to unpack the K and R files into the corresponding subfolder. The K files (e.g. K900059.PS2) should be extracted to the cofiles subfolder (/usr/sap/trans/cofiles). The R files (e.g. R900059.PS2) to the data subfolder (/usr/sap/trans/data).

   Info
   Verify that the read-only attribute is removed from the copied transport files. Otherwise, the import to the SAP system may fail.

6. Use the SAP Transport Management System (transaction STMS) or the operating system executable program tp to import the required transport. For information about the Transport Management System and the tp program, see SAP transports description. Each of the zip files folders contains a readme.txt file with instruction on the order in which Transports should be imported to the SAP system.
   The Transports contain SAP objects as described below:

   Component	Zip Files	For SAP Basis Release
   The/PRECISE/namespace	Precise_Transports_Basic.zip	All
   The Z_PRECISE authorization Profile	Precise_Transports_46c.zip Precise_Transports_46c_Unicode.zip	4.6C to 6.40 (SAP NetWeaver 2004)
   The Z_PRECISE authorization Role	Precise_Transports_700.zip	7.x (SAP NetWeaver 2004s) BW 7.x
   Precise for SAP Package and Function Modules	Precise_Transports_46c.zip Precise_Transports_46c_Unicode.zip Precise_Transports_700.zip	All
   Precise for BW Function Modules	Precise_for_SAP_BI_7.0_Transport.zip	BW 7.x

   Info
   For a more detailed description of the Transports, see SAP transports description.

7. After the import has completed and in case a previous version of Precise Function Modules was installed in the system, you must rebuild the Function Group object list, by performing the following steps:
   1. Go to SE80 > Function Group > /PRECISE/ZLSC.
   2. Right click on the Function Group > Other Functions > Rebuild Object List.
8. When connecting to SAP, verify that all the authorizations in the Z_PRECISE Profile (for Basis 4.6C to 6.40) or in the Z_PRECISE Role (SAP Basis 7.x) have been added to the SAP user.
   For more information on the authorizations, see  see SAP User authorizations on page 244.

Defining mapping and locale settings

As part of the pre-installation tasks, you have defined your organizations and user areas. Now that you have finished configuring the SAP system, you need to define the fields that Precise for Precise for SAP will retrieve for these groupings.

   Info

   If your system maintains user lists in locations other than SAP user tables, you can still import this information into Precise for SAP. Precise for SAP can import user definitions from ASCII text files, enabling user information to be extracted from practically any source. For more information on how to import user information from ASCII files, see the Configuring Precise for SAP section in the Precise Administration Guide.

Installing the SAP Java Connector (JCo)

After installing the Precise for SAP FocalPoint, you need to install the downloaded SAP Java Connector (JCo) if you want Precise for SAP to display running batch jobs in the Batches tab or use the Precise for SAP BW. In this case, perform the following post-installation task. For information on how to download the SAP JCo, see Downloading the SAP Java Connector (JCo) on page 144.

To install the SAP JCo

1. Unzip the contents of the downloaded file to a folder of your choice on the Precise for Precise for SAP FocalPoint server.
2. Open the Agents tab in Precise AdminPoint and stop the Precise for SAP FocalPoint.
3. From the folder to which you unzipped the downloaded file:
   1. Copy the .jar file to the <precise_root>\java\3rd_party folder on your Precise for Precise for SAP FocalPoint server.
   2. Copy the .dll files to the <precise_root>\products\sap\bin folder on your Precise for Precise for SAP FocalPoint server.
4. Verify that the gateway port between the Precise for SAP FocalPoint and the SAP Application Server is open in both directions:
   The gateway port is 33xx, where xx has to be replaced by the instance number in the SAP Application Server.
5. Maintain the SAP communication ports in the services file in:
   %windir%\system32\drivers\etc\services
6. Replace the following <SID> and <instance-number> with the values from your application:
   sapms<SID> 36<instance-number>/tcp sapms<SID> 33<instance-number>/tcp sapms<SID> 32<instance-number>/tcp
   For example for an SAP system with the SID = PRD and Instance Number 01:
   sapmsPRD 3601/tcp # SAP Message Server sapmsPRD 3301/tcp # SAP Gateway sapmsPRD 3201/tcp # SAP Dispatcher
7. Go back to AdminPoint and restart the Precise for Precise for SAP FocalPoint.
