Setup

The setup commands let you set up the ABAP Agent and configure it for its first use.

Set up the Agent

The setup install command lets you initialize the ABAP Agent. It does the following:

• Generates a symmetric key that's specific to your machine.
• Creates a default config.toml configuration file in the %programdata%\TRICENTIS\SeaLights\ABAP Agent directory.

Command Prompt

Syntax

slabapcli.exe setup install

PowerShell

This command takes no parameters.

Example

Expected output (PowerShell)

Note: Be sure to back up your %programdata%\TRICENTIS\SeaLights\ABAP Agent\config.toml file.

Migrate a legacy configuration

The setup migrate command lets you migrate your config.toml file from an earlier version of the ABAP Agent. You won't normally need to run this command because the ABAP Agent's installation program runs it for you automatically if it detects you're on an earlier version.

Command Prompt

Syntax

slabapcli.exe setup migrate

PowerShell

This command takes no parameters.

TODO (from v1.5 draft): The source Syntax block for this command showed setup install. Corrected to setup migrate — please confirm. The source Example was empty (expected output to be added).

Example

Expected output (PowerShell) to be added.

Upgrade a configuration

When you migrate a legacy configuration, the setup uninstall command disables existing SeaLights Agent tasks in the Windows Task Scheduler. The setup upgrade command re-enables each of these tasks. You won't normally need to run this command because the setup migrate command runs it automatically.

Command Prompt

Syntax

slabapcli.exe setup upgrade

PowerShell

This command takes no parameters.

Example

Expected output (PowerShell)

.\slabapcli.exe setup upgrade

Disable agent tasks

The setup uninstall command disables any existing SeaLights Agent tasks in the Windows Task Scheduler. You won't normally need to run this command because the setup migrate command runs it automatically.

Command Prompt

Syntax

slabapcli.exe setup uninstall

PowerShell

This command takes no parameters.

Example

Expected output (PowerShell)

.\slabapcli.exe setup uninstall

Get a health report

The setup status command provides a health report for the ABAP Agent which checks the ABAP Agent's connection to SeaLights, and the connectivity of each of your RFC Destinations.

Syntax

slabapcli.exe setup status

PowerShell

This command takes no parameters.
