SAPGUI 7.20 - SAPLOGON.INI Appearance Mod - If possible
Hello All,
My sincere thanks to previous contributors for answering my basic questions so far.
I've got a standard SAPLOGON.INI setup that will be deployed to all 24K SAPGUI users in my company. I'm utilizing the Tree View as my default but I'd like to adjust the appearance of the saplogon itself and save that as a default.
Here is the way my SAPLogon looks when you execute saplogon.exe -

Here is the way I want it to look when an end user starts saplogon.exe -
http://www.mediafire.com/i/?ho996bu6bljhk95
Is this possible?
Thanks and Regards,
-Jeff-
Jose,
I tried every combination I could think of, including setting them all to a 0 and no luck. The appearance of the SAPLOGON does not change as a result. The Description Column still overlaps the Name column as displayed in my previous image link when I launch the SAPGUI.
Now I did try this on my old test machine with SAPGUI 7.10 and yes, that worked like a charm. It appears that utilizing the "Tree View" in SAPGUI 7.20, I can't get those changes to work by manipulating the registry.
Again, with the SAPGUI 7.20, utilizing the "Tree View" I just want the Name column to be the only column displayed to the end user when they launch the SAPGUI. That is, if that's possible.
Thanks so much for your patience and back and forth on this!! I really appreciate your time!!
Regards,
-Jeff-

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.

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"?
Bob HHello,
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.

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,

Problem related to C:\WINDOWS\SAPLOGON.INI file
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>.
Actually, I need to check this because system ID is mapped to description when I execute SAP Shortcut from dynpro.
Can you tell why this space is inserted on some system and not on others?
Thanks
Depesh.This question doesn't appear to be at all Web Dynpro ABAP related. Please post your questions in the correct forum in the future.

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.

C:windows\saplogon.ini file error
Hi Experts,

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

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,
EvelynHello 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,

Saplogon.ini search order
Good Afternoon.
We are deploying SAP GUI 6.40 using sapgui server - and I need to have clients have a "search list" to look forcentral saplogon.ini locations.
So far I've edited the GUIsetup.xml file on the sapgui server - and added the line :
cmd="/ini_file=
server\share\saplogon.ini"
This works a treat - new client installations then look at this location for the saplogon.ini file (and not c:\windows)
However, for resilience we want to add a second server string to the "search order".. I've tried just adding 2 lines e.g.
cmd="/ini_file=
server\share\saplogon.ini"
cmd="/ini_file=
server2\share\saplogon.ini"
But it doesnt seem to check the second string when the first server is unavailable or if the saplogon.ini file doesnt exist.
Can anyone advise how we do this?
Thanks.Hi Jacky,
Please run the following transaction:
<b>CRM_SRV_REPORT - Service Process Monitor</b>
In that under status & system status you can check the check boxes and execute same. You can see your desired orders.
Please reward points if it helps.

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,
SamerI do not think
Tha't great idea
, but if you want know try to read

Dear All,
I had installed SAP LOGON 710, Patch Level 9 on Windows Vista OS. I am not able to find SAPLOGON.INI file. Normally it is in C:\Windows but it is not there. I had also search whole C:\ drive but it is not there.
I want to know the where the logon details are saved. if any one knows abt this please replay.
Regards,
Tejas Naik.Hi,
did you search for SAPLOGON.INI?
Do you have a local or a server-installation of SAPGUI?
Regards, Dieter
Another way i to look in LOGON-Pad in OPTIONS. There you can see what saplogon.ini is used.

Saplogon.ini parameters
Hi Expert,
Note=99435 does not describe all the parameters of saplogon.ini. Could you show me all the explanation of the saplogon.ini 's parameters?
Background:
I use SAPGUI 7.2. and SAP ERP 6.0 unicode version. I want to use SAP in Japanese.
I want to know the correct settings for CODEPAGE (1100?8000?) and EncodingID(Default_NON_UC?Default?)
There are other parameters that are not described, such as Shortcutxxx...Hi Takako,
Please refer link http://www.saptechies.com/saplogonini-file-format/
for details on various parameters in saplogon.ini
In case you want to use japanese language I would suggest the following settings
Codepage: 1100 ( since your system is unicode)
Encoding: Default. (since your system is unicode)

Could you please help me in finding out why it is happening and could you please provide me any solution for the above problem.
