This is a little Quickyblog
Download SAP host agent from:
https://support.sap.com/patches -> Browse Download Catalog -> SAP Technology Compoents -> SAP HOST AGENT
Copy it sar file to /tmp/SAPHOSTAGENT.SAR
root> cp <location of downloaded sar file>/SAPHOSTAGENTxxx_xxx-xxxxxxxx.SAR /tmp/SAPHOSTAGENT.SAR
Create the location for the new binaries.
root> cd /usr/sap/hostctrl/
root> mkdir -p new
root> chown root:sapsys new
root> cd new
root> rm -rf *
Avoids that upgrade is started while extraction the binaries from sar file.
root> touch .upgrading
Extract SAPHOSTAGENT to
/usr/sap/hostctrl/new/.
root> /usr/sap/SID/SYS/exe/run/SAPCAR -xvf /tmp/SAPHOSTAGENT.SAR -manifest SIGNATURE.SMF
Let the upgrade beginn...
root> rm .upgrading
By default saphostexec performs this check every 5 minutes. So, after 5 minutes do...
root> /usr/sap/hostctrl/exe/saphostexe -version
Voila!
All in one:
root> cd /usr/sap/hostctrl/; mkdir -p new; chown root:sapsys new; cd new; rm -rf *; touch .upgrading; /usr/sap/SID/SYS/exe/run/SAPCAR -xvf /tmp/SAPHOSTAGENT.SAR -manifest SIGNATURE.SMF; rm .upgrading
