SAP Add-on Installation Tool (transaction SAINT) is used to install and upgrade add-ons in the SAP system. The add-on upgrade procedure is identical to the add-on installation. Therefore, to upgrade the Sana add-on in SAP, you must follow just the same standard procedure which is used to install the add-on into SAP. The upgrade procedure will overwrite the current version of the Sana add-on in your SAP system with the latest one. After upgrade, all data of the Sana add-on in your SAP system will remain the same and will not be lost.

Import the Sana Add-on

Step 1: Download the Sana package with the latest Sana add-on for SAP (“*.sar” file) from the Sana Community web site. Only registered Sana partners can download it from Sana Community.

Step 2: Extract the package files and copy the “*.sar” file to the computer from which you are going to install the Sana add-on into SAP.

Step 3: Open SAP and log in to client 000.

Step 4: Open the SAP Add-on Installation Tool by calling the transaction SAINT.
