Install WATCHER and SLABAPCLI

WATCHER is a program that watches for ABAP changes and reports them to SeaLights. SLABAPCLI is a command-line interface program that lets you configure the ABAP Agent and connect it to SeaLights. You can install these on a Windows server or a standalone machine.

The ZIP file: http://agents.sealights.co/slabap/latest/slabapagent-win64.zip.

Note: Install the WATCHER and SLAPABCLI programs to a system-wide accessible directory (for example, c:\apps), and not to a directory with restricted accessibility (for example, c:\users<username>).

1. Create a new directory named c:\apps\SLABAPAgent. We call this the SLABAPAgent directory.

2. Create a directory named <SLABAPAgent dir>\config.

3. Navigate to the directory where you extracted the distribution ZIP file.

4. Extract the slabapagent-win64\bin directory from the ZIP file to the <SLABAPAgent dir>\bin directory.

5. Download the latest version of the SAP NW RFC SDK from the SAP ONE Support Launchpad, and extract the files to a temporary directory. You will need the following:

   • NetWeaver RFC SDK 7.50 Patch 13 or above for Windows on X64 64Bit.

     • See SAP NOTE 2573790 for download links.

6. Copy the following files from the <Temp SAP NW RFC>\lib directory to the <SLABAPAgent dir>\bin directory:

• icudt57.dll

• icuin57.dll

• icuuc57.dll

• libsapucum.dll

• sapnwrfc.dll

Log Files

The ABAP Agent stores log files for the WATCHER program in the following directories:

• <SLABAPAgent dir>\userdata\public\Logs\<Pipeline name>

• <SLABAPAgent dir>\bin\logs

To purge log files older than 14 days, start Windows PowerShell as an Administrator, and run the following from the <SLABAPAgent dir>\bin directory:

PS C:\apps\SLABAPAgent\bin> .\purgeLogs.exe
