Hi Pooja,

same syntax as for the Unix "tar" command, e.g.:

sapcar -xf <filename>

If you execute sapcar without any commands, it prints its usage instructions.

Sign in to DOS by typing cmd in the run windows.

with the command cd to the folder where is the finds sapcar file and the file you want to extract.

commad:

SAPCAR.EXE -xvf file name

Hi Jack,

I have downloaded SDI Data Provisioning Agent for trial version by using the link SAP Development Tools given in your  documentation.

I used the command sapcar.exe -xvf filename

When I unpack it using sapcar.exe I am getting the below error in command prompt.

Please help me to getout of this error.

Looks like you're facing a problem with the disk here. At least the file is corrupted.

Try downloading it again.

Hi

Please try what Lars said.

I performed the download of the file that you mentioned and managed to extract normally.

Hi Sridevi,

"error 5" means that either the downloaded file is corrupted as Lars already said, or the second possibility: your sapcar version is too old and doesn't "understand" the new format of this .sar archive.

Thanks to all.

As you people said  downloaded file was corrupted. I downloaded it again and it's extracted successfully.

Hi Ulrich, the second part of this is not quite right. SAPCAR does have it's own specific error message for when the archive cannot be read. It wouldn't start extracting and stop in between because it realises only then that the format is unknown.

Hi Lars,

ah, ok, then I misinterpreted SAP note 1475845...
