Installation steps of the SNC SAPRouter as Windows NT Service

Setting up the SNC SAProuter as a Windows NT service.

If the Saprouter has already been entered as a service with srvany.exe, the definition of the service from the registry (path: HKLM -> System -> CurrentControlSet -> Services -> SAPRouter) should first be removed and then the machine should be rebooted.

With the following command you can newly define the service from the command line:
ntscmgr install saprouter -b <path>saprouter.exe -p "service -r -W
60000 -R <path>saprouttab -K ^p:<your_distinguished_name>^"
  • Replace <path> with the corresponding path to saprouter.exe and <your_distinguished_name> with the "Distinguished Name" registered for your installation from the Trust Center Service - Download Area. It is important that all parameters be in a character string delimited by ".
  •  As of version 25 (3.0E) a route permission table file (SAPROUTTAB) must be specified for the Saprouter (see also Note 30289 or goto the following link at http://service.sap.com/saprouter-sncdoc).
  • Edit the string in the registry under
    MyComputerHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServices saprouter

    and change ^ to " under ImagePath.
  • Additionally you'll have to do the following steps to make SAPCRYPTOLIB credentials available to a process that runs as an NT service

    Run the command:
    sapgenpse seclogin -p <path><psefile> -O <SNC_admin>

    Note:
    The account of the service user should always be entered in full
    <domainname><username>
  • Check if the certificate has been imported correctly

    Run the command:
    sapgenpse get_my_name -v -n Issuer

    The name of the Issuer should be:
    CN=SAProuter CA, OU=SAProuter, O=SAP, C=DE
  • Check if the environment variables SNC_LIB and SECUDIR has been set under the user account SAProuter is running under

    Run the command:
    sapgenpse
  • Check if your Distinguished Name and the validity date is correct

    Run the command:
    sapgenpse get_my_name

Proceed as follows after the installation to maintain the general attributes of the service:
  • Go to 'Control Panel -> Services: SAPRouter -> Button: Startup', set the startup type to 'Automatic' and enter the user <SNC_admin>. The SAPRouter should NOT run under the system account.
  • To avoid the error message 'The description for Event ID (0) ...' in the NT Eventviewer you must make the following entries in the Registry. Under:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SYSTEM -> CurrentControlSet -> Services -> Eventlog -> Application
    enter the following key:      SAPRouter
    Under this, define the two following values:

    EventMessageFile   (REG_SZ)    : <local_path>sapevents.dll
    TypesSupported    (REG_DWORD) :  0x7

    All required files (ntscmgr.exe, saprouter.exe, sapevents.dll) can be found in your usrsap<SID>sysexerun directory. As an attachment to this note, you can find the corresponding DLL in file sapevents.car.

    Important: These adjustments are not obligatory for running SAProuter on Windows. They serve only to provide detailed error messages in the event log.


SAPRouter on a firewall computer:

---------------------------------------------------
The NTSCMGR utility creates the SAPRouter Service with predefined dependencies from NT Workstation Service and NT Server Service. If the SAPRouter is to be installed on a firewall and if the Server Service is to be stopped, the dependencies of the SAPRouter need to be adjusted. To do so, open the registry editor (REGEDT32.EXE) and switch to the following subkey:
    HKLMSystemCurrentControlSetServicesSAPRouter

Double-click the parameter DependOnService on the right hand side of the window and delete the entry 'LanmanServer' from the displayed list. Exit the registry editor and restart SAPRouter Service.
