Using an Agent

SAP Java Buildpack can work with any Java agent as long as it's included in the .jar or .war archive of your application.

The buildpack extracts the agent when the application is deployed. To check if the agent is extracted to the expected location, run:

cf ssh

To use an agent with SAP Java Buildpack, set the <JBP_CONFIG_JAVA_OPTS> environment variable as follows:

env:
    JBP_CONFIG_JAVA_OPTS: 'java_opts: "-javaagent:<PathToYourAgent>"'

The Java agent is platform-agnostic, but must be compatible with the version of the JVM you are using (SAP JVM or SapMachine).

Native Agents

A native agent is a dynamic library. If you want to use one, it must be compatible with the architecture of the platform. For Cloud Foundry, this is Linux x86_64. As an application developer, make sure that the correct agent is used, and regularly apply updates whenever they're needed.

To use a native agent, set the <JBP_CONFIG_JAVA_OPTS> environment variable as follows:

 env:
    JBP_CONFIG_JAVA_OPTS: 'java_opts: "-agentpath:<PathToYourAgent>"'
