SAP Inventory Agent

IT Asset Management (Cloud)

The SAP Inventory Agent (SAPReader.exe) accesses and collects the user primary record information from SAP Admin module systems and independent SAP systems via Remote Function Call (RFC).

The SAP Inventory Agent collects the data that is staged on the database in the SAP Admin module and uploads it to the IT Asset Management database. The data was collected from the dependent SAP systems that are connected to the SAP Admin module; it usually includes user information (user name, first and last name, validity dates, user type, user group, accounting number, cost center, and login times), transactions, CPU and memory consumption, roles and sub-roles, and license types and their hierarchy. After the SAP Inventory Agent has uploaded the data to IT Asset Management, it is cached in the IT Asset Management database and can be used to optimize your organization's license position.

The default setting for the SAP Inventory Agent is to run weekly.

The SAP Inventory Agent is executed using a schedule on an inventory beacon. For more information on inventory beacons, see Inventory Beacons. For information on scheduling tasks on inventory beacons, see the section Scheduling Page in the IT Asset Management online help.
