The new archiving tool SAPCAR
Older readers might remember when SAP introduced a new archiving tool to replace the previous CAR (Compressed ARchive) utility some two decades ago. The tools were not compatible, so for SAPCAR the extension SAR was chosen.
- 212876 – The new archiving tool SAPCAR (2000)
SAPCAR only exists as command line tool, there is no graphical version, and the syntax resembles that of the UNIX TAR utility with -x for extract, -v for verbose (show me), and -f for file, to list a few common ones.
Tar was developed to bundle a number of files into a single Tape ARchive file (but works on disk too). Tar does not compress files and so it is often used together with zip to create a zipped tarball, which somewhat resembles our SAR files.
As Linux and macOS are UNIX descendants, we find tar on these operating systems as well.
SAP Service Marketplace is being retired
To download SAP software, we need to navigate to Software Downloads on the SAP ONE Support Launchpad.

You might still find references to SWDC or SMP as not everybody read the blog post yet

How To Install Sapcar Windows 7
SAPCAR 7.21
There is a SAPCAR utility for most operating systems and this includes (as of 7.21) macOS.
- File type: EXE
- Operating system: MACOS X 64-BIT
Because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on macOS
From the Windows world we have learned that we can double-click executable files (EXE) to execute. Doing so, will return a friendly message that Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on macOS.
The developer cannot be verified
Because of the EXE extension, macOS assumes it is a Windows binary. When we open Terminal and do a file check with the file command, this confirms it is a Mach-O 64-bit executable: perfectly fine.
Executing the file however returns permission denied because the download comes with only RW permissions for the current user. This is easy to fix with a chmod u+x.
At this stage, macOS protection kicks in to as the file is unsigned and might as well be malware. Move to Bin? No. Cancel.
Allow Anyway
If you agree that SAP software can be trusted, open System Preferences > Security & Privacy and select Allow Anyway
Are you sure you want to open it?
Run the SAPCAR command again and select Open to allow.
