SAP Note 1113545 - Problems with SAP Host Agent

Component : Host Agent - Operating System Monitors

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1113545 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
The SAP Host Agent, available from Release 7.10 across all platforms, experiences multiple operational issues such as service hanging, unexpected terminations, and installation errors across different operating systems. Windows-specific problems include the SAPHostExec and SAPHostControl services hanging during start/stop operations, and issues with executing SAP Host Agent programs due to system errors. UNIX and Solaris platforms face sudden terminations and prolonged process times. Additionally, issues such as automatic upgrades not functioning and z/OS start failures are noted. The solution advises upgrading to the current version, patch level 45 or higher, which resolves most of the documented errors, and installing specific Microsoft security patches for some Windows issues.
