Hi All,
I am trying to extract .SAR file on SLE 12.3 on EC2 r4.4xlarge and facing the above error. Below is my OS information.
cat /etc/SuSE-release
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 (x86_64)
VERSION = 12
PATCHLEVEL = 3
It will be great if someone can advise this format error. Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Hi,
Looks like you forgot to paste the error message?
Anyway, according to google you’ll need the SAPCAR utility to extract the file.

As rjschwei has already suggested it looks like you need the
sapcar utility - see
https://answers.sap.com/questions/265178/how-to-extract-sar-files-
in-linux-server.html
Since this only seems to be available from SAP can I ask what your
.SAR file is as I would expect anything from SAP to have noted
the requirement for sapcar.

Hi Simon,
Actually I have tried with SAPCAR already in first place and encounter the error.

That makes sense since .EXE files are usually for DOS/Windows.
What is it that you’re trying to extract/achieve? I can’t help thinking
that the .SAR file is not the correct thing to be using on a (SUSE)
Linux server.

Hi Simon,
This is extracting SAP application in SUSE server. We normally can perform all these task in On-premise SUSE Enterprise Linux Server for SAP application. But I cannot work on AWS EC2 that’s why I am raising it. Thanks for your reply.

A quick search for “SUSE SAP AWS” found that SLES for SAP Applications
is available in the AWS Marketplace.
I also found
https://www.suse.com/media/guide/suse_linux_enterprise_server_for_sap_applications_12_sp3_for_the_aws_cloud_setup_guide.pdf
which perhaps you’ve already seen.
Finally I’ll note that there is a forum dedicated to SLES for SAP
Applications at
https://forums.suse.com/forumdisplay.php?41-SLES-SAP-Applications though
admittedly AWS hasn’t been discussed.

may I assume you have somehow transferred “./SAPCAR_0-80000935.EXE” to that directory manually? Where did it come from, a server of the same variant (OS / architecture)? It might be worth lookingat that file a bit closer to determine why you cannot invoke it without that format error.
ought to show some basic info about the file structure - and comparing checksums with the copy source might be helpful, too.
