   libsapjco3.so
   sapjco3.jar
        a.  For Design Server, copy these files into the folder defined by ITX_ADDITIONAL_LIBS in tx-server.env from your Design Server installation.  By default this is /opt/txlibs
        b.  For Runtime and Monitoring, copy these files into $DTX_HOME_DIR/libs
5. Execute the install script:
       a.  For Design Server, run the install_sap_ds.sh script.  The script copies the Pack for SAP Applications adapter jar files, and executes updt_adpt.sh to update the tx-server configuration files. The tx-server is then restarted, if it had been running
