How to update SAProuter by Irshad Rather

What is SAP Router?

SAP router is a standalone program that protects your SAP network against unauthorized access. SAP router is
a proxy in a network connection between SAP systems, or between SAP systems and external networks. SAP
router acts as an extra firewall to the existing firewall (port filter). It is usually installed directly on the firewall
host. The SAP router port serves as a gateway, through which connections to your firewall-protected system
can be opened. You can specify the connections you want to allow in a route permission table.

Resolution

1. Download the SAProuter executable from the below web page:

https://support.sap.com/swdc

Support Packages and Patches -> Access downloads -> By Alphabetical Index
(A-Z) -> S -> SAPROUTER -> SAPROUTER <release> -> <select OS version>

Download the saprouter_<patchlevel>-<nnnn>.sar archive. The SAProuter is


SAP system release independent and can be used for both unicode and non-
unicode systems. When there are problems with SAProuter, it is recommended
to update it to the latest available version (latest release with latest patch
level)

2. Extract the downloaded SAProuter archive in a temporary directory with SAPcar:

sapcar -xvf saprouter_<patchlevel>-<nnnn>.sar

REMARK: The SAPcar archiving tool is required on the server where the
SAProuter is running. For downloading SAPcar, follow the SAP
Note 212876 - The new archiving tool SAPCAR

3. Stop the currently running SAProuter. (On Windows SAProuter might be running
as a service, in this case stop the service itself).

4. Switch to the work directory of the SAProuter:

/usr/sap/saprouter
<drive>:\usr\sap\saprouter
<drive>:\saprouter

5. Rename the SAProuter executables located in the SAProuter work directory:

saprouter > saprouter_old
