---

Confirm that you have fulfilled all [prerequisites](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/sap-solutions/before-you-begin) before beginning the installation.

The ABAP component of **NRM4SAP** is packaged as a SAP add-on. Install it using transaction `SAINT` on **client 000**.

## Add-on installation file

-   **Initial installation**: Download the add-on file `K-xxxAOIINNEWR.SAR` to a folder on your local PC
-   **Upgrade from previous version**: Use the file named `K-xxxAOUINNEWR.SAP`

## Install SAP add-on file

1.  Log in to **client 000**
2.  Type `SAINT` in the **SAP GUI** command field
3.  Navigate to **Installation Package** > **Load Packages**
4.  Choose the appropriate method based on where your installation file is located:

> #### 💡 TIP
>
> The following steps assume `DIR_TRANS = /usr/sap/trans`. Verify this value against your system configuration before proceeding.

**Which method should you use?**

-   **SAR archive from frontend** (Most common): Installation file is on your local computer
-   **SAR archive from application server**: SAR file has been pre-uploaded to `/usr/sap/trans/download/`
-   **EPS files from application server**: You need to extract the SAR file into PAT files on the server first

### SAR archive from frontend

1.  Navigate and open `K-xxxAOIINNEWR.SAR`

2.  In the **Content of the compressed file** popup, click **Decompress**

3.  Verify the message **File K-xxxAOIINNEWR.SAR successfully transferred, decompressed, and deleted** appears

### SAR archive from application server

1.  Ensure there is a **download directory** under the **trans directory** on the application server (`/usr/sap/trans/download`)
2.  Copy the **add-on file** to this directory

### EPS files from application server

1.  Extract the **SAR file** into **PAT files**. Run the following commands as the `<sid>adm` Linux user:

    ```bash
    cd /usr/sap/trans
    cp /tmp/K-xxxAOIINNEWR.SAR /usr/sap/trans
    SAPCAR -xvf K-xxxAOIINNEWR.SAR
    ```

2.  In the popup **Do you want to upload OCS Packages from the EPS inbox?**, select **Yes**

3.  Ensure the **OCS file** is uploaded without errors

## Complete the installation

1.  Click **Start**, select **Installable Add-on packages for your system**, choose the **New Relic Add-on** package, and click **Continue**

2.  When asked **Do you want to add Modification Adjustment Transports to the queue?**:

    -   Click **No** for standard installation (default)
    -   Click **Yes** only if your package includes adjustment transports with specific instructions

3.  Click the check icon to proceed

    > #### ⚠️ IMPORTANT
    >
    > If the **Errors during Disassembling OCS Packages** page appears, click **Ignore**. This error is expected for certain package types and will not affect installation. See SAP Note 2687814 for details.

4.  Once the package is installed, click **Finish**

5.  The **Sending the runtime analysis** popup appears. Choose one of the following:
    -   **Send**: Opens a feedback form with the **runtime analysis data** in a local browser window
    -   **Display**: Displays the **runtime analysis** first, then opens the feedback form
    -   **Do not send**: Closes the dialog without sending **runtime analysis data**

6.  Verify the installation in the **Installed Components** tab. The **New Relic add-on** appears in the list with a status indicating successful installation

7.  Log out from **Client 000**
