Install SAPGUI Front End 6.40

Hi all,
I would like install SAPGUI Front End 6.40 to users (circa 250 PC) for all sites in our organisation. I would like use SMS2003 from Microsoft. I created admin installation on PC. I started SAPAdmin and I created packege with selected components and package defination file for SMS. I thinked that I can create separate package and this use for SMS distribution, but I don't know how create separate package outside SAPAdmin, because I don't want use "SAP Installation Server". Could anybody help me?
Thank for help!
Best Regards
Jan

Hi Jan,
SMS from Microsoft is not supported. Why don't you want to use the SAP Installation Server?

Missing file error when installing SAP Front End

Hi Anand,
I would not care about those files, because they are unneccessary. mscreate.dir is a 0 byte file which just tells that microsoft has created this directory. The *.gid files are winhelp files that get created when you first use the help function.

BPC 7.0 (MS) Front-End install quesiton (languages)

Hi everyone,
We are delivering our BPC reports and input schedules in english but some of our non-english speaking locations are asking if they can install the BPC front-end on their computers in another language.
Today the financial planning system is all english, so that there is no problem with having it all in one.
Does anyone know, can english front-end be installed on a non-english client computer? Or do I need to install BPC front-end in the same language that the client computer is set to?
Also, another assumption I wanted to ask about is this, Can I assume that only the "Windows" constructs of BPC are changed to a different language when installed in another language? For example, is it true then that the BPC links and drop down menus etc. would be in another language but the reports & input schedules would exist in whichever language they were developed in?
Thanks for any assistance with this!
Kind Regards,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
It is possible to install BPC in english on a non-english computer. But to be honest, there are some known problems.
From my experience, you can install BPC in any language, but you should be aware of maintaining correct Regional Settings on the client machine, such as decimal separator, etc...
To answer the second question, having a French BPC client installed will display every menus and links from Action Pane in French. Having also Excel in French installed will display native Excel function in French in your report and not in English (SOMME(....) instead of SUM(...) for example). However, all BPC functions, such as EVDRE, or others, won't be changed.
Hope this helps.
Kind Regards,
Patrick

Which file on the DVD should I select to install front end gui

Hello Basis gurus
I am trying to install the Front End Gui on my laptop (SAP GUI for Windows 7.20).
The older versions had a file called SETUP.EXE which I used to select to install the Front End Gui.
However, on this CD I don't see that file.
I read the Installation Guide which gives 2 scenarios.
1. Creating an installation server and then use that to install on different systems on the network.
2. Taking the CD to each windows client and install it directly from the CD.
However, the installation guide explains the scenario 1, installing using installation server.
There is no explanation of how to do the installations directly from CD. Since I don't see the setup.exe file, I don't know what else to do. Has anyone done this? If so could you please let me know. I would appreciate it.
Thanks a lot
R

If you are talking about the NW 7.0 Presentation DVD/CD for the SAP GUI 7.20 installer, once extracted, I believe the setup you are looking for is located here:
Under NW_7.0_Presentation\PRES1\GUI\WINDOWS\WIN32
From that location you should see the setup executeables.
SapBiSetup.exe
SapGuiSetup.exe
SetupAll.exe
If you run the SapGuiSetup.exe, that should install 7.20 for you.
If you run the SetupAll.exe, that will present you with options you want to have installed along witht he SAP GUI. (Business Explorer, Engineering Client Viewer, etc.Planning Grid, KW Add-On, etc)

SAP Front End

Hi Gurus,
I have to install SAP front end on 600 PCs. How can I automate it instead of installing it physically? Is there any way of using Solution Manager. Please be informed it is a global implementation as well.
Regards, Nabi.

Good morning, Nabi - There are two possibilities, depending on your existing infrastructure. The first option is provided by SAP. You can install what is known as a SAPGui Installation Server. You then apply patches and configure installation packages on this server. It also has a distribution mechanism in the form of an Installation Service and a Distribution Service. These are useful because they can allow non-administrators to still update the SAPGui on a desktop. You can then create a log-on script on the PC to check to see if the SAPGui is installed, and if so if it is up to date. If it is not, the software will be installed/patched. This is an option if you do not have any other software distribution tools in your enterprise.
The option that we use is to utilize Microsoft System Management Server (now being replaced/renamed to System Center Configuration Manager 2007) to launch the setup command line on each PC. This provides more control for the distribution and you can then also do more reporting on the PCs that have the package installed.
Please let me know if you need additional information. I provided an answer to a similiar question in the SAPGui Forum also.

Blair Towe

Intalling BO front end tools on top of SAP BW (trial version).

Hi All,
I currently work on SAP BI and SAP Enterprise Portal projects. I am looking at installing BO Front end tools on top of SAP BW (just a trial version though).
Does anybody have the links where I can download this software? Also I have played about with Excelsious which appears to be the new version of analyzer. What is the new version of Web Application Designer (Pioneer??) Is it possible to integrate web templates created with BO into the SAP Enterprise portal? Is there any guides which explains how to create simple dashboards with BO front end tools and integarte them into the portal?
I have a found some decent blogs already and am currently attempting to install BO onto my laptop.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Nick.

Hello Nick,
yes you can implement BO Reports/Dashobard into the Enterprise Portal in some way. Its a bit tricky and here are some usefull guides you may have a look into.

CD / Download for installing BI 7.0 Front-end components?

Hi,
We have just upgraded a test system from BW 3.1 to BI 7.0.
Our basis team also upgraded my SAP GUI to 640.
This GUI 640 installation also upgraded the Business Explorer components. However, Query Designer & Web Application Designer are now just on Release 3.5. Apparently all the latest patches of 640 have been installed. Is GUI 7.00 available somewhere?
I would like to know where I can get the new BI 7.0 components of Query Designer, WAD & Report Designer. Ideally, I would like to install on my PC the legacy 3.x components as well so that I can maintain the existing BW systems that have not upgraded.
Regards
Adrian

Hi Adrian,
When you run the GUI setup with 640, you get the option for which items you want to install. If you choose the BI items, then the new Analyzer, WAD, Report Designer etc.. get installed. You may have to re-run the installation and choose these components.
Latest Front End Patches are available from <a href="https://websmp204.sap-ag.de/swdc">SAP Software Distribution Centre</a>
On the left menu, go to Download > Support Packages and Patches > Entry by Application Group > SAP Frontend Components > SAP GUI for Windows > SAP GUI for Windows 6.40 > Win32 and download "Bw700SP09_900-10001615.exe".
This is the latest patch (FEP9), so you may want to go FEP802 instead.
If you can't find the GUI CD with installation components, they are also available here (Setup640 and GUI640).
Also, this blog is really good <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/4087">NW2004s Front End blog</a>
Your 3.x tools will remain on the Start menu after you install the 'new' tools.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for your help.

What is a front end server?
Thanks for your help.
That's not a good question I guess you were asking about whether SSMS is present or not you already got the answer. Front end is there any server can be front end server its name used for terminal server where user generally perform some action.
Front end is term used when dealing with 3 or N tier architecture which is beyond scope of this forum

sdtdsu.jnlp file also I saved in my system but front end screen not coming?
You don't have to save it, you need to run it in a java enabled web browser. It is hard to diagnose as the problem can be in various areas, Try another client, another browser, check installed java versions etc.

New Front-End Editor is Dumping when I try to check an ABAP source code

Hi Experts
I'm trying to check the source code of any ABAP in SE38 with the new front-end editor, but I'm facing a dump, maybe there is missing a patch or something like that. if any of you have information about that I really appreciate your aswers.
I reinstalled the SAP GUI and still have the issue.
part of the dump is here
Runtime Errors         MESSAGE_TYPE_X
Date and Time          04/09/2008 15:12:51
Short text
     The current application triggered a termination with a short dump.
What happened?
     The current application program detected a situation which really
     should not occur. Therefore, a termination with a short dump was
     triggered on purpose by the key word MESSAGE (type X).
Error analysis
     Short text of error message:
     Control Framework : Error processing control
     Long text of error message:
      Diagnosis
          An error occurred when the system tried to process the commands
          from the Automation Queue on the presentation server.
          There are several possible reasons for this:
          - The installation of the SAP GUI on the presentation server is
          faulty or obsolete.
          - There is an error in the application program
          - There is an error in the SAPGUI or an integrated control

Hernan Enriquez ,
                           Hi you can try the below things :
1) You need have the latest patch of the SAP GUI installed.
2) If you have the above try to re-install the GUI from the scratch. It might be courrupted.
3) If VISTA need to check the GUI compatibility.
Thanks,
Greetson

SapAdmin.exe Front End Setup Manager

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this question, but I am using the Front-End Installation server distribute the windows GUI 6.40 to user workstations by a batch file called from the command line.
The batch files calls sapsetup.exe listed to the PID for the particular install.
On the OnEndInstall Script I have the following listed.
If Engine.Shell.FilesExist("%SAPSrcDir%\custom\saplogon.ini") Then
Engine.Shell.CopyFile "%SAPSrcDir%\custom\saplogon.ini", "%WinSysDir%\saplogon.ini"
End If
Engine.Shell.SetRegValue "HKCR\Sapgui.Shortcut.File\EditFlags", "REG_DWORD", "10000"
For some reason it doesn't seem to execute this scrit in the proper mannor and does not make the changes I specify in the above statements within the xml code.
I can cheat and get around this by adding the commands to the batch file, but I would use the server side so users do not freak out.
Any Input on where to go from here would be helpful...
Thanks!
Message was edited by: Mike Deckard

Is there a possibility to set Current User registry keys? Or better said, what I would like to do is to turn on the automatic update from server?
Best regards,
Maarten
PS Is there any good documentation for the OnEndInstall scripts? Like on installing the shortcuts in a different start menu folder, adding services entries to the sevices files, etc.
