Installation steps
AMC can be installed using the SAP ASE installer. Follow these steps:

- Check the box which says Administration and Management Console
- Continue till you reach the page ‘Configure New SAP ASE’
- Check the box which says ‘Enable AMC’
- Optional: You can also change the value of AMC Server Port. The AMC application will run on this port.
- Complete the installation.
The installer also starts the AMC application. Once the installation is complete, you can access the AMC application in a web browser at http:\\host:port where host is the machine name or IP address and port is the value of AMC Server Port given in the installer.
Open the directory where SAP ASE is installed. The folder called AMC is the folder where files related to the AMC application are present.
The log directory contains the log files for the AMC application like AMC.log and log files created by the AMC service. The scripts directory contains bat files which are run by the AMC application. The log directory here contains log files of the scripts execution. The file AMC.jar contains UI and Java code for the AMC application. The file AMC.properties contains the configuration related properties which are used by AMC.jar. The files amcservice.exe, amcservice.xml, install.bat and uninstall.bat are related to AMC service.
