Pushing saplogon.ini to Vista and XP

Hi all, i'm using the nwsetupadmin tool to push SAPGUI and other fronend tools, however I'd like to push the saplogon.ini to Vista and XP machines, i tried to use the sample script at the "on end" but it didn't work. I think it's because Vista's saplogon.ini location is different than XP's location.
Does anyone have a script or of a way to push it? We tried with a normal copy command but UAC on Vista machines blocks that.
Thanks,
Samer

I do not think
Tha't great idea
, but if you want know try to read
Note 38119 - SAP Logon: Administration of functions

SAPGui 7.20 and SapLogon.ini Question

We configure our install of SAPGui 7.20 to place a configured SAPLOGON.ini in C:\windows (WinXP).
Upon first use that file is then copied (as 7.20 is designed to do) to C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\SAP\Common for the individual user.
So how do I go about resetting the "1st use" flag so that if I have updates to SAPLOGON.ini ... I can put the updated file in C:\windows .... and when the user starts SAPLogon the updated file will overwrite the one in their '\sap\common\ location"?

Hello,
We are using centrally located file for ini file distribution. So you do not need to worry about updating ini file in each and every PC
What you need to do
Add system environment variable as below..
SAPLOGON_INI_FILE = \ \ <Shared location> \ <inifile>
This will be the easy way to manage ini file.
You can use multiple ini files for diffrent user groups from central location. And set this system environment variable through windows group policy.
Please let me know if you have any question.

SAPGUI Java 7.20 and saplogon.ini of an old Windows GUI...

I changed Windows 7 for Ubuntu.
I installed the Java GUI (version 7.20): I would like to import my previous server list in the new GUI.
Using windows I have a saplogon.ini file, but I don't know if I can make it readable to the Java GUI
(a lot of servers there, most of them are not used anymore... but I would like to have the same list :-P).

You can found that in Linux in ~/.SAPGUI/connections file.

Maintaining sapgui 640 config on migration to vista and gui 7

Hi,
We are migrating from XP to Vista (giving new notebooks to users) and SAPGui 640 to 710.
I know that we can copy saplogon.ini to the new notebook preserve the links to the servers.
How can I copy the customizing settings of their SAPGui to the new notebook (like the visual design, color settings and font size that the user have set in their sapgui.)
thanks,
Roel

Many thanks Sergo, I also tried that approach but did not find any.
I tried changing the sttings in sapgui (taking note of the time of change) then search the entire C drive for some files that was changed on the same time. Unfortunately I only found sapgui logs but no config files.
I have just posted a question to oss. Please update me if you find anything.
thanks,
Roel

Vista and VPN Client Troubles

Hello. We are evaluating Windows Vista along with the VPN Client version 5.0.01.0600. Many of our VPN users are reporting that they are experiencing problems connecting VPN to the ASA 5520 firewall. We are experiencing the same problems with error such as "Reason 418: Unable to configure the firewall software." Also in the client's log we see:
3 08:11:49.845 08/07/07 Sev=Warning/2 IKE/0xE3000086
Invalid concentrator firewall configuration.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem and is there a workaround? Thanks in advance.

Fyi - I ended up opening up a TAC case for this (SR 606571713) and received the following information from the engineer:
"Either disable the firewall check on for that group on the VPN appliance or clear a custom DLL check looking for the Microsoft Firewall DLLS or use an alternative Firewall that is supported on Vista and by the VPN appliance.
CPP pushes will not work for any other Firewalls other then ZoneLabs, if or when ZoneLabs releases ZoneAlarm for Vista customers can install this to get CPP support.
For more reference on this BUG please go to the following link :
http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/Support/Bugtool/onebug.pl?bugid=CSCsi26229&Submit=Search
Note:This feature is not enabled because we are still waiting for the patch from ZoneLab for Vista vpn client."

Regarding the file saplogon.ini

Hi Gurus,
I am facing a problem with saplogon.ini file . when i am trying to open it , it is popping up a message box --
" The filename,directory name or volume label syntax is in correct" .
Could you please help me in finding out why it is happening and could you please provide me any solution for the above problem.
Thanks in advance,
Vikram Krishna.

Hi,
There seems to be some naming problem either with your harddisk volume name or directory. Please check this link http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/reskit/w2000Msgs/2993.mspx?mfr=true.
Verify the same and try to open the saplogon.ini in notepad.

Source of Bex Browser SAP system entries (not saplogon.ini?)

I hope someone could help to clarify what I presume is a fairly simple query.
I will run through the steps I take to reach my point of confusion:
1. I navigate to "Start Menu\Programs\Business Explorer\Business Explorer (SAP BW 3.x)" and open the Browser (SAP BW 3.x).
2. A "SAP Logon" window (similar to a cut-down version of SAP GUI's SAP Logon program) opens, I select the appropriate BW system from the list and logon. I have just ticked the box for "Use Selected System as Default" at this stage.
3. The BW Browser opens, I navigate to ANY report and double-click to open.
4. Microsoft Excel 2003 opens in the background, I can see the Business Explorer add-on as well.
Now this is the problem stage at step 5 and a complete oddity at step 6....
5. Another "SAP Logon at SID" window opens, but if I enter my logon details again I get an RFC_ERROR_PROGRAM error.
6. At this point I repeat step 3 above but instead of typing in my password at step 5, I click the "System" button which opens the mini "SAP Logon" windows for BW Browser. It is here I notice that all the SAP system entries which I presumed were populated from saplogon.ini at C:\Windows, are in fact from a much older version of the saplogon.ini I previously had.
So my real question is about step 6, why/how are the SAP system entries being populated from an older version of saplogon.ini? Does the BW Browser cache these entries somewhere else locally?
For reference, I am running SAP GUI 710 at Patch Level 12 & BW Add-on Patch Level 4 for 710. I have tried updating everything to the latest version/patch levels but with the exact same result. I've done a complete rebuild before a new 710 install and still can't figure this out.
Thank you.

Hi David,
Thank you for providing details of those SAP Notes, unfortunately they haven't helped to resolve the issue.
We do not use an Environment Variable to make another SAPLOGON.ini file known to the SAP Logon Control.
On running the trace, it appears quite apparent that SAPLOGON.ini in C:\Windows is being utilised. My first thought on seeing the trace file was that a SAPLOGON.ini file might be present in the "current directory" identified as N:\My Documents, but this wasn't the case.
Steps 1 and 2 are void, the standard .ini file should be getting picked up in step 3:
Wed Aug 05 15:09:45 2009 0001 DpaPersPar::BasicInitialization() current directory N:\My Documents
Wed Aug 05 15:09:45 2009 0001 DpaPersPar::BasicInitialization() SAPLOGON_INI_FILE not set; use SAPLOGON.INI
Any other thoughts?
Thanks.

Saplogon.ini file location question

Hi, any advice would be appreciated thanks
we have rolled the sap gui 6.40 to all our clients - all using a local copy of the saplogon.ini file in the local windows directory. however we wish to change this approach and have a central saplogon.ini file on a file server and point all the clients to this file.. any changes only then have to be made in one place.
can anyone help me with this, firstly is it possible, and if so how to change the client setting to adjust the location.
many thanks.

Hi thanks for your link.
The document you pointed me towards led me to SAP note number 756686
which explains that you can edit the SAP icon on your desktop (by right-clicking and opening with notepad) and then adding a line cmd="/ini_file='path to ini file'\saplogon.ini'
Thanks for your assistance.

Vista and mysql

Hi
took a few days but finally up and running on a new system
with vista
ultimate.
Ok I reinstated everything but now when I try tocreate a
database connection
I get the following error
your php server does not have the mysql module loaded or
you can't use the mysql_(p) functions
Some hints would be appreciated I'm using IIS7 and when I run
the phpinfo
command it is displayed in local host. The php ini has mysql
and mysqli un
commented together with gd2 and xsl. Could'nt find the
multi-byte string
extension in the ini file- could this be the problem?
thanks
Ian

Was this issue resolved?
I have the same problem now. DW was working fine the one day and the next when I started it it had this connection problem.
I am testing on my local PC. My sites is at http://localhost/
All my connection are working because if I go to http://localhost/index.php I can see my site and if I go to http://localhost/register.php I can even register a new user. It will include the new user details in the data base and everything is working fine. So there is nothing wrong with the connection.
In DW I do have http://localhost/ on the Local Info screen. As I said, all was working fine on the current setup the one day and the next day it did not want to work.
Seems like a very common problem.
I want to buy CS4 and surely hope that the problem has been fixed by now.

C:windows\saplogon.ini file error

Hi Experts,
I have SAPGUI 7.10 systems and whenever I add new SAP Server in SAP Logon Pad, a corresponding entry is created in C:\WINDOWS\SAPLOGON.INI file.
But in some system, part of file content is as below:
Server
Item1=
Item2=XXXXX
Item3=YYYYY
Item4=AAAAA
Item5=BBBBB
where in xxx, yyyy,aaa,bbb are the application server IP.
But here Item1= <space> as shown.
For other user systems, item1 corresponds for first entry of logon pad as expected.
Server
Item1=XXXXX
Item2=YYYY
Item3=AAAA
Item4=BBBBB
And I am getting an error if I try at system with item1=<space>.
Can you tell why this space is inserted on some system and not on others?
Thanks
Depesh.

Hi,
I am using sapgui 7.10 with patch level 14.
There is a space shown in all the systems and this creating a problem while executing an SAP shortcut by saying no system description found as it tries to search for a description from saplogon.ini. even if it exists but with a space for item1.
nobody has manually changed the saplogon.ini file.
if i manually remove the space then add server list again or i copy the file with no space from somebody system then it works without error.
But i cannot copy and replace this file if i have 1000+ user working on a solution having their saplogon.ini file with item1=space.
Kindly suggest some automated process to ensure the space removal.
thanks
depesh.

SAPLOGON.INI within Standalone Installationpackage

Hello,
we used the SAP Installation Server Administration Tool to build our SAP Installation Packages.
For the SAPLOGON.INI weu2019ve implemented a u201COn End Installu201D Script using the SAP Administration Tool, this script simply copies the file from a server and sets up the Systemvariable
strSrcFile = NwEngine.Variables.ResolveString("
installationserver\packages$\SAP\SAPLogon\SAPLogon.ini")
strDstFile = "C:\windows\SAPLogon.ini"
NwEngine.Shell.CopyFileEx strSrcFile, strDstFile, vbTrue
NwEngine.Shell.SetRegValue "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment\SAPLOGON_INI_FILE", "REG_SZ", "c:\windows\SAPLogon.ini"
This script is working perfect, but during the rollout we found out that these script wont work if the client, which installs the Package, is not in the location of u201CInstallationserveru201D as per firewall rules the clients have no access from e.g. subsidiaries or VPN to this server.
Is there a possibility to include the SAPLOGON.INI file in the standalone Installation package, or create the SAPLOGON.ini file during the installation process?
We are using SAPGUI 7.20.
Software Deployment Server is Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R2.
Client OS: Windows 7
Thank you,
Evelyn

Hello Sven,
We already created Single File Installer Packages for our SAP GUI / SAPBI GUI.(With the " SAPgui720_0-10007878GUIWINDOWSWIN32setupNwSapSetupAdmin.exe"´)
The inclusion of the custom saplogon.ini was not part of the process.
Iu2019ve read the CHM you pointed me to, but therefore I need to install the SAP Installation Server, is this correct?
Is there no other way to do this..?
As Iu2019ve never used SAP Inst Server before u2013 is this just a u201CProgram / Toolu201D that can be additionally installed on e.g. our Software Deployment Server, or a complete Server Administration toolkit which requires a single server for it?
Thank you,
Evelyn

Saplogon.ini in configurations files section of saplogonpad.

Hello,
We have SAP GUI 7.10 patch 19 installed. Our saplogon.ini file resides in the path c:\windows and is not explicitly set anywhere. An old PLM interface to Solidworks set the Windows USER environment variable to point to C:\Program Files\SAP\FrontEnd\SAPgui by setting a value in SAPLOGON_INI_FILE, so nothing appears in the logonpad.
If I remove this USER environment variable, the logonpad entries still appear blank. On further investigation, we see in the logonpad configuration screen (in the logonpad itself) a reference to a variable called saplogon.ini being set here in a section called configuration files.
We have searched for this in the registry but cannot find it and therefore can't change it.
Does anyone know how this gets set, where it is stored and how we can change it. Ideally we'd like to remove it completely, if possible.
Thanks,
Philip.

Hello,
I have solved this. The process also created a saplogoin.ini file in C:\Program Files\SAP\FrontEnd\SAPgui which was blank. SAP GUI looks there before Windows.
Thanks,
Philip.
