Change SapWorkDir on Installation Server

Hello,
I'd like to change the value of the SetSapWorkDir for a package I am building in the Installation Server and I cannot figure out how to do it.
The variable is currently set to %%USERPROFILE%%\SapWorkDir and I'd like to change it to point to a users H drive, ie, h:\SapWorkdir
Any idea how I can do this?
Thanks,
Philip.

Hello Philip
you know the differnecies between PRODUCTS and PACKAGES?
For Products you can not set a special path in the SAPADMIN tool.
Please create your own package and then you can see in the TAB "Configure Packages" the
"blue line" configure paramteres .... Click on it and you can change the SETSAPWORKDIR
to your own path....
After this step you must click on the SAVE button....
Best regards, Sven

Change Installation Server

Hi,
May I know how to change the source of the installation server?
Let's say the sapgui installation server is set up on machineA. Then a failure happens on machineA, another sapgui installation server is set up on machineB.
my question:
1) what happen to those computers that are earlier installed using the installation server from machineA?
2) how to let these computers get updates from machineB?
thanks

This errors have been happening a long while and do not appear to be having any effects on our end users. However, they are making
it very hard to sift through our log files as you could imagine! This DC is windows 2008 r2.
If there is any other information needed, let me know. Thanks!

In addition you can debug the software installation Policy easily.

Also you can use the ADM/ADMX for GPO related issues (GPO DEBUG LOGGING).

Installation Server and Windows 7 - Admin Rights Issue

Here is a good one. Completely reproducible error when granting Local Admin Rights by the LSH Service.
For those with SAPGui Installation Server (SAPGui 7.20 Patch 6 or above) ... try this on a Windows 7 SP1 front end when you are NOT logged on with local admin rights.
1) Open the Windows RUN dialog
2) Type path to your installation server\setup\nwsapsetup.exe
3) You should find the install wizard starts (granting local admin rights) as expected.
NOW TRY THIS
1) Type path to your installation server\setup\nwsapsetup.exe /uninstall
2) You will find that you get a dialog about can't grant admin rights. Un-install will abort.
This only appears to happen with the /uninstall switch! Using /product= for example it will still grant admin rights.
BIZZARE ...
I've opened a Customer Support Message (Friday) priority - MEDIUM have not heard back from SAP Support yet.

Jude,
Thanks, it looks like that note has been getting a lot of update activity lately because the newly released Patch 8 has nwsapsetup.exe as version: 8.6.1.62 and that version also has the issue with the /nnnnnn switches.
I do have to say however, that this issue with nwsapsetup.exe and admin rights (requiring SapSetup.exe_Patch) first appeared with the release of Patch 6 for the Gui. It was fixed for WinXP (I had a customer support message opened on this). So why didn't anyone also test on Win7?
Who is QA-ing these software releases?
Patch 8 had the same problem.
The change log for SapSetup.exe_Patch, is up to 8.1.6.70 now.
How are we in large enterprises to feel comfortable deploying any of this?
End of rant ....
Bob
P.S. I really appreciate your presence here ... the tech assigned to my formal Support Message on the matter still has not gotten back advising of the updated release of SapSetup.exe_Patch.

How to repair a 7.20 Installation Server ?

hello all,
i set up an 7.20 SAP Installation Server with PL4. It worked fine last month, no changes were made, but now, if i start NWSapSetupAdmin.exe nothing happens. What possibilities do i have to repair the server or to see which part causes trouble?
Thanks in advance
Alexander

Hello,
Check log file 'NwSapSetupAdmin.log' in folder C:\Program Files\SAP\SapSetup\LOGs. If log file is not created, check Windows Event Viewer (System events).
Hope that helps.

ECL Viewer on 2 different locations in the SAPGui Installation server

I've installed the SP 13 of the SAPGui Installation Server. Can anyone explain me why the ECL Viewer is installed 2 times in the SAPGui Installation server. One time as a separate product and one as a General Add-On in the SAPGui 7.1 Product. Doesn't this give any conflicts? We are getting a dump for several transactions. Is this due to this?
Next to that I can't delete the ECL Viewer in the General add-on.
Thanks for helping.

Hm, you can check this from t-code SM04 (if one server) or SM51 and after on all servers.
SM04 --> Change layout (CTRL+F8) --> Gui version add in Displayed Columns , after you will see all GUIs.
SM51 --> select server --> User (CtrlShiftF7) after as above.
If you install the package on some PC, before installin sapsetup checks are this GUI installed or not(are the present package installed,are all components from package installed), and if it are installed finished installation.
Regards.

SAP Installation Server & GUI 7.10 Remote Installation

Hello!
We have installed an SAP Installation Server (8.1.0.104) with SAP GUI 7.10 (Patch 9) and created a package for SAP GUI. On our old installation server there was a "remote installation" button, but here on the new version, we cannot see it. Have there been some significant changes?
Thanks for helpful answers!

I had basically the same question about remote installing the gui. Here is a response from OSS about it.
I am sorry but we do not provide a Client Push Installation mechanism.
but only a method to pull a package from an installation server.
Using for instance
<SERVER>\<***>\sapsetup /update /silent
for a pull scenario.
As stated in note 507996, tool like SMS can be used but you you use
the [nw]Sapsetup option
thanx

SAPGUI 7.10 Installation Server Patching Problem

Hello,
A while back I was having a problem with patching a SAPGUI 710 installation server. A suggestion from the forum was that the version of the SAP Download Manager I was using could be corrupting the patch. So I downloaded and installed the latest SAP Download Manager, downloaded the GUI patch and was then able to apply the GUI patch to the Installation Server. Now I am seeing the same sort of problem with trying to apply the recently released BI and BW patches to the 710 installation server. When I run the SAPSetupAdmin.exe tool, select "Patch Server", browse to the patch and select "Next" to apply the patch, nothing happens. I reinstalled the latest Download Manager, but no luck.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Tom Grantham

Hi All,
I opened up an OSS message with SAP. The response is below. Changing the extension from EXE to exe fixed the problem.

Dear Mr. Grantham,
There have been rare reports of the latest download manager not
resolving the issue. I have just been updated from a development supportcolleague there is a small issue with the patch extensions which
prohibits NwSapSetupAdmin from applying the patches.
With the patches that you have currently downloaded could you try
renaming the extension to lower case only please (.EXE to .exe) and thenapply the patches.
If the patches still cannot be applied then could you kindly try
downloading and applying the patches for BW & BI from the SAPmats links
below:
BW350GUI710_1_10004473.exe

CF installer server or multi-server configuration

Previous versions of CF installer allow you to install either server or multi-server configuration.
This made it hard to change a CF box from server to multi-server since you would have to re-install CF to apply change.
CF10 installer lets you install stand-alone installation. After installing ColdFusion in stand-alone mode, you can create multiple instances (provided you have an Enterprise or Dev license).
Nice. Easy to alter a CF box from server to multi-server.
Thanks, Carl.

Hi，
i read the issue in detail. however it is hard to troubleshoot via froum.
To such issue, it is not an efficient way to work in this community since we may need more resources, for example memory (application) dump or ETL trace, which is not appropriate to handle in community. I’d like to suggest that you submit a service request to MS Professional tech support service so that a dedicated Support Professional can further assist with this request.

How to change the default mail server??? Please help.

I need to change the default mail server to my yahoo account. When I had my PC this was easy but I cannot figgure it out on the MAC. I am in China and I need to inform my insurance company of some information or they are going to cancel a policy. When I go to their site for email contact what pops up is the apple email, which I do not have an account for and ofcourse does not work. Their email address does not show and I cannot find it anywhere so I need to change the default to my yahoo account. On my PC this was easy and when I went to a site that had a contact but no email address, my yahoo account would come up. I hope I am explaining this correctly. I really need to do this fast as the letter I got took some time to get here and I just returned from some field work so I have about 2 or 3 days to get the information to them. Thank you.

John,
This does not demonstrate anything for me, since it brings up a Compose window for Mail, with my preferred account as the From address. This happens whether I access with Safari, or with Firefox.
The point that I am trying to make, is that in OSX, there is no way to have web mail access become the default mail method -- it only works with a true mail client, for POP, IMAP or .mac access on your Desktop.
If you have the type of yahoo account that can be setup for POP access with Mail, then when you click, you can choose your yahoo address as the From address to send from.
Of course you can insert the address in a new message with your Yahoo web mail, but I have understood you to want to have the message start containing the info from one of the pages on the site?
See the discussion at the following link, for setting up a Yahoo account in Mail:

How to access a JS changed attribute on the server side?

hi all;
if i change an attribute on a custom component via java script on the client side.
how can i access the changed value on the server side?
in what method will i have the access to this changed field?
thanks in advance.

You can hardcode the ID of the component in the backingbean (or some propertiesfile) and use ViewRoot.findComponent(componentId). Using the binding is (much!) more elegant anyway.

Front End Installation Server - Administrator rights on client PC's

We are using a third party repackaging tool to deploy sapgui to our workstations. This has proven to be problematic in the past and are now considering the SAP Front End Installation server approach.
After reveiwing the installation guide we are wondering about how packages are deployed to workstations. Our users do not have administrator priveleges on thier workstations, so is it still possible to deploy packages from the installation server (either where they "pull" it down, or it is pushed down to them).
This factor is one reason we are still using the third party repackaging tool because packages can be deployed under a "system" account (via a cleint agent on each PC) - in lieu of each user having administrator privelges on their workstations.
If the SAP Installation server requires users to have these elevated priveleges it won't be an option for us. Does anyone else have any experience with the Installation server and users who do not have administrator priveleges?
Any feedback, directions, or links to additional resources would be greatly appreciated and happily rewarded with positive feedback and reward points
thanks,
jeff henke

Error in sharepoint 2010 designer while saving:"Content in the embedded form may be changed by the the server to remove unsafe content.Do you want to reload your page to see the results of the save? "

Hi,
I am doing development in sharepoint 2010 and facing this very weird problem.
If I create a site page with the sharepoint look and feel for that site and try to save the site page,i am getting this error:**"Content in the embedded form may be changed by the the server to remove unsafe content.Do you want to reload your page to see
the results of the save? "** and when i say reload,the server removes some parts of my page, e.g onclick event of html,asp buttons.
This error just comes for any sharepoint site page,e.g i took a copy of 'How To Read Library' page just edited the text part of taht page,and when i try to save this error again comes up.
However,if i create a simple aspx page with only htmltags like head body,then thr is no problem ,everything works great. But sharepoint look and feel pages are giving troubles while saving.
has anybody seen this earlier,what could be the reason for this?
Thanks

I think the excerpt and link below is the why, but the page talks about server code and not javascript. I guessing that this is why blank pages work, but not wiki pages. Can anyone verify this?
The following are general rules for using server-side code on a site page.
If the page is uncustomized, server-side code is supported on the page.
If the page is customized, server-side code does not run, and the page does not render. This includes the code-behind for the page itself.

6) Reboot the server
Any help would be appreciated.

Binu - are you wanting to automate this process with TES?
There is a windows cmd command "net stop" and "net start" you can use to stop and start a service.
You will need to work with your windows admin or look online for a command line way to change the service to manual and to start the defrag.
There is a shutdown command that can be run from cmd. It has a switch to force the reboot.
You might also check out scripting with WMI.
Hope this helps,
Michelle
