You can upgrade the SAP Host Agent by running saphostexec -upgrade -archive or hostexecstart -upgrade from the hostctrl directory of the existing SAP Host Agent installation with specifying the location of the downloaded SAPHOSTAGENT<SP-version>.SAR archive.
Procedure
- Log on as a user with the required authorization:
| Windows | As a member of the local Administrators group |
| UNIX | As a user with root authorization or as a member of the sapsys group, for example <sapsid>adm |
| IBM i | As a user profile with special authorities *SECADM and *ALLOBJ, for example as user profile QSECOFR. |
- IBM i only: Enter the command CALL PGM(QP2TERM) to start a PASE interactive terminal session.
- Copy the downloaded SAPHOSTAGENT<SP-version>.SAR archive to a temporary directory, for example:
| Windows | c:\temp\hostagent |
UNIX ,
IBM i
| /tmp/hostagent |
- Perform the upgrade by running the following command:
| Windows |
%ProgramFiles%\SAP\hostctrl\saphostexec -upgrade -archive <path to downloaded SAPHOSTAGENT<SP-version>.SAR>

| UNIX |
If you are logged on as a user with root authorization, the command is as follows:
/usr/sap/hostctrl/saphostexec -upgrade -archive <path to downloaded SAPHOSTAGENT<SP-version>.SAR>
- If you are logged on as a member of the sapsys group, for example <sapsid>adm, the command is as follows: /usr/sap/hostctrl/exe/hostexecstart -upgrade <path to downloaded SAPHOSTAGENT<SP-version>.SAR>
