Distributed sapmsg.ini

Hi,
I am interested to see if other people have the same view point / issue with using a distributed saplogon.ini.
Using the environment variable SAPLOGON_INI_FILE you are able to centralise the saplogon.ini file in a shared network location, which is great. My issue is that I also require the System Description field of the saplgpad, and the information for this field is provided by the sapmsg.ini file.
SAPLOGON_INI_FILE only influences the location of saplogon.ini and so if i want to add a new system to a centralised saplogon i only need to amend in one place, but if i want to add/amend a system description i need to update all of the client pc's.
The idea of having centralised ini files is flawed in my view because of this. I'd like to know how other people get around this, as SAP do not seem interested in either centralising the sapmsg.ini or moving the system description information into saplogon.ini.
Regards
Phil

Phil,
I have found that distributing whatever config files you need (such as saplogon.ini or sapmsg.ini) to local machines is quite easy through either network logon scripts or through installation packages in nwsapsetup. In the case of using logon scripts, I just copy the appropriate .ini files from a central location (for ease of maintenance) to the local machine on startup. This also allows me to give different users different .ini files based on their network group membership. And I still only have one place to modify a small handful of config files.
If you have options like this, you might want to consider distributing to the local machine.

How to use sapmsg.ini file?

Hi,
Whats the function of the sapmsg.ini file? How to use it?
And I searched my computer but didnt find it......

Hi Tino,
sapmsg.ini is opend by LIBRFC32 - not NCo directly. You can look into RFC SDK documentation for details (this is install with SAPGUI).
you can try to resolve the problem by setting the following environment variable:
RFC_LOGON_INI_PATH=<PATH_TO_SAPGUI_DIRECTORY>

SAP GUI 7.20 - sapmsg.ini and saproute.ini location

I have installed SAP GUI 7.20 and I moved the saplogon.ini to a folder different from C:\WINDWOS, but message server and SAProuter are still pointing to C:\WINDOWS\SAPMSG.INI and C:\WINDWOS\SAPROUTE.INI.
I don't like these files on WINDOWS, How can I move them to another location and SAP GUI still can read them?
Many Thanks in advance,
Fernando.

Hello Fernando,

SAPGUI on MAC OS 10.4/sapmsg.ini ?

Hi outthere,
i hope someone can help me.
A business customer of ours uses the operating system MAC OS 10.4 + SAPGUI. We want to change systems listed on SAPLOGON, but unfortunately we are not able to locate the files, logon data is stored in.
Where can I find the sapmsg.ini or saplogon.ini (path) on MAC OS ? Maybe they have different filenames than SAP GUI on Windows OS (C:\<windir>\...)?
Regards
Christoph

Hello Christoph,
please have a look at chapters "6. User Configuration" and "7. Administrator Configuration" of the documentation which comes with the SAP GUI for Java installation.
Easiest is to launch SAP GUI and to choose "SAPGUI Help" from the "Help" menu to get there.
In case you do not have a Mac available, just do the same with SAP GUI for Java on Windows.
When you became familiar to configure the logon with latter, it should be easy to instruct a Mac user.
Best regards
Rolf-Martin

Missing sapmsg.ini in Sapgui 7.2 for CCMSPING availability monitoring

Hi All,

Can you help me to locate this file?
Thanks,

Missing sapmsg.ini when configuring CCMSPING availability monitoring

Has anyone has any issues configuring Availability Monitoring with CCMSPING under RZ21 ?
Under the option, Technical Infrastrucure -> Availability Monitoring -> Configure CCMSPING Monitoring
Monitoring -> Create System
There is an option to import the SAPMSG.INI file
I have sapgui 7.1 loaded on this desktop
For some reason, the file SAPMSG.INI is not available.
I even tried defining a Group Logon on SAPLogon, SAPMSG is still not available.
Then we tried defining the system manually - all we got was a message, "system not found"
Has anyone tried doing CCMSPING Availability Monitoring on Netweaver 7.0 (Solution Manager 4.0) ?

Hi,
The SAPMSG.ini is created by your SAPGUI. check it in your Windows directory, there should be one if you are connecting to any SAP server using the message server.
Check this link for configuring availability monitoring:

SAPGUI Windows *.ini to SAPGUI Java config files?

I have access to the files saplogon.ini, saproute.ini, sapmsg.ini from Windows SAPGUI and I'd like to use these under SAPGUI for Java.
In the SAPGUI for Java, I can see where to put the saproute.ini and sapmsg.ini, but the puting the saplogon.ini into the 'Include Configuration File' , but does not yield any results (does not populate the SAPGUI picklist).
As reference the saplogon.ini has the following format:
[router]
Item1=
Item2=
[server]
Item1=
Item2=
[Database]
Item1=
Item2=
[System]
Item1=
Item2=
[Description]
Item1=
Item2=
[Address]
Item1=
Item2=
[MSSrvName]
Item1=
Item2=
...etc....
Is there a way to convert this into a file that SAPGUI Java can understand?
Any help would be welcome. Thanks.

Inside the Documentation for the SAPGUI for Java just look for
7. Administrator Configuration
There you find a description of the formats for the configuration files.
and
6. User Configuration -> Setting Configuration Files
For SAPGUI for Java it's always a good idea to put the company wide configuration files like message server list onto a webserver.

SAPLOGON.ini

HI,
I am creating single file installer for SAP GUI 7.1 patch 9...I have attached Script event on end install so that can distribute custom ini and service file..The standard code attached below does not work for me...I would like to distribute the installer exe file with custom saplogon ini and service file.....I am following all setps required but still does not work..not sure what is wrong here...I also have CustomerFiles folder created on the root folder of Installation server next to Setup folder and placed ini file in that folder...
NwEngine.Context.Log.Write "Event: Copying customized SapLogon.ini"
strSrcFile = NwEngine.Variables.ResolveString("%SAPSrcDir%\CustomerFiles\SapLogon.ini")
strDstFile = NwEngine.Variables.ResolveString("%WinDir%\SapLogon.ini")
If NwEngine.Shell.FileExist( strSrcFile ) Then
NwEngine.Shell.CopyFile strSrcFile, strDstFile
End If
NwEngine.Context.Log.Write "Event: Copying customized services file"
If NwEngine.Shell.FileExist("%SAPSrcDir%\CustomerFiles\services") Then
NwEngine.Shell.CopyFile "%SAPSrcDir%\CustomerFiles\services", "%WinSysDir%\drivers\etc\services"
End If
Regards,

Hi,
You have to create the CustomerFiles folder in the directory where you have installed your sap gui server 7.1, which is shared for end user for installation.
So check it weather you have created it on proper place.
E.g. If I have install SAP GUI Server 7.1 on D:\SAPGUI_SERVER directory then I have to created the CustomerFiles folder in D:\SAPGUI_SERVER directory.

Open file 'C:WINNTsapmsg.ini' failed

Hi,
I'm connecting to SAP using load balancing, setting the following properties of a destination object:
SAPSystemName
LogonGroup
MsgServerHost
Client
Username
Password
Language
When I open the connection I get a RfcException on some systems with the message "Open file 'C:\WINNT\sapmsg.ini' failed".
The file "sapmsg.ini" is installed in the SAPGUI directory "C:\Programme\SAPpc\SAPgui".
On most of the systems in our company it's also installed in the windows directory and everything works correctly. But on new installed systems it's only in "C:\Programme\SAPpc\SAPgui" and so the connection fails.
Is the windows directory the standard location of this file? Our SAP administration says C:\Programme\SAPpc\SAPgui is the standard directory.
Can I tell NCO the location of this file?
Thanks
Markus

Hi Chakrapani,
We are also facing the same issue.. Can u please let me know the procedure to fix this..

Can u please let me know the exact location of the file . If not found then what could be the alternate way to fix this.
1) Presently we r using SAP dot net connector version 2
2) Is it mandatory to uninstall SAP GUI & install it again
3) This is the exact error i am getting:
Error: An unhandled exception of type 'SAP.Connector.RfcException' occurred in sap.connector.dll

In need of help going from Windows SAP GUI to Mac/Java SAP GUI 7.20

Hi Everyone, first post...I want to thank you in advance for any assistance you are able to provide.
I got everything working except for 1 out of 6 servers I need to connect to - of course this is the most important one.
It all comes down to the conversion of saplogon.ini to the new file format, instead of using the GUI to make a list I have created 6 individual .sapc files that I run directly. I found some converters but only had so much success with them, nothing solid and 100% full proof.
I'm going to post my windows config files and maybe you can tell me why logging into this system GP8 doesn't work from my mac?

Please tell me from all the info you have here what needs to take place for me to be able to connect to GP8. Can I do it from an sapc file? Do I have to configure other core files and go to my preferences and tell SAP to look at certain configs? I'm sure someone here can help me.
Thanks so much for your time

Hello John,
please try the "SAP GUI for Java Configuration Generator Scripts" available at http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-25456#section9 .
For using the message server to connect to GP8, the information of the port number of the message server for GP8 is missing. For direct connection to GP8, it might work to use the connection string "conn=/H/gp8001.trans.de/S/3288" .

Windows 7 64 bit giving BEx Problems. Big time problems (!!)

Hi there, i just got through an issue with BEx connecting to SAP on a laptop using Windows 7. After googling and sdning and SAP noting for a while did not find any suitable answer to this issue which seems strange to me as Windows 7 64 bit is not really a brand new product. The full specs are as follow. Anyone bringing some light into this subject would be very much appreciatted.
=> SAP Logon 720 with 0 Patch Level.
=> MS Office 2007
=> Windows 7 64 bits
In C:\Windows i got:
     -> SAPMSG.ini
     -> Saproute.ini
     -> saplogon.ini
in C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\SAP\Common i got:
     -> Sapgrph
     -> saplogon
     -> SapLogonTree.xml
     -> saprules.xml
     -> Saproute
     -> services
The issue is that i am not able to logon either via BEx 7.x or 3.x. The Error message is:
Error Group

Hi Alex ,
SAP GUI for Windows 7.20 and all related applications including SAP Desktop Office Integration / BI Frontend / BW Frontend do not support Office 2010 64bit, only 32bit versions of Office are supported.
This means that when using 64bit operating sytems with SAP GUI for Windows and related components you have to use a 32bit Microsoft Office version .
For your issue , you can check these Notes.
1. 1442028 - SAP GUI for Windows 7.20: No support for Office 2010 64bit
2. 1264857 -   BExAnalyzer 7.X does not work on 64 bit Windows PCs
3. 1503786 - Precalc server is not created correctly in TA:RSPRECADMIN
4. 1589565 - Connection problem in Precalc server and Excel hangs

UME: SAP R/3 system config

I'm trying to set User authentication to SAP R/3 system, not load balanced system, on the User Management Configuration values: Client=601, Userid=sapjsf, Password=pwd, sys id=s01, Group and Message server= no values, Application server= IP addreess, Sys. number=00, Max pool=10, Max wait=10000.
When testing connection, I got this message:
(System ID): com.sap.mw.jco.JCO$Exception: (101) RFC_ERROR_PROGRAM: Open file 'sapmsg.ini' failed
(System ID & System Number): OK
now, is this an error? where is and what values are needed at sapmsg.ini file? as our SAP R/3 is not a load balanced system.
Did I miss any item for the setup, in dataSourceConfiguration_r3.xml? I made sure the SAPJSF "communication user" got the right sap role and authorizations,
Portal version : EP6 SP2 PL22
Regards,
AAAttar

Thanks Tan,
Yes it was Undocumented fun, When leaving SystemId, Group and Message servers blank, I was able to connect, and map the BW WAS6.2 users.
However R/3 4.6C user can not be referenced as an SAP UME for user logon directly, it must have a WAS6.2 or higher,
