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.

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.

SAPLOGON.SAL- different saplogon.ini files

Dear all,
I'm looking for a possibility to use different ini files, dependent from the access via network (lan) or VPN.
The local saplogon.ini file should only be used if the saplogon.ini file from the network directory is not available. Maybe with SAPLOGON.SAL?
thanks in advance!

if (netWorkIsAvailable())
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("SAPLOGON_INI_FILE", "c:
windows
SAPLOGON.SAL");
else
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("SAPLOGON_INI_FILE", null);
SAPLogonDestination dest = new SAPLogonDestination();

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.

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.
Regards, Dieter

How to merge multipal saplogon.ini files..

How can I merge the multiple saplogon.ini files if system is on Domain?

We are merging two SAP Logon.ini file. The common file I placed in c:windows and the users own entries are in saplogon.ini in the %appdata%commonSAP directory. And by using note 1426178 pkt. 5, we set ConfigFileOnServer to c:
Now the user can create own entries in own saplogon.ini, and not change entries in the common saplogon.in I c:windows.
If you update the common file, you just have to replace the file in c:windows.

Where are the *.ini files located?

I remember a discussion about deleting some of the *.ini files (or whatever they are called) but I can't find the link, don't remember the filenames and can't find their location.
I'm having the same problem with Media Encoder where it only goes partway through an encode and then returns an error message. The last time I experienced that, I deleted the startup files and things worked fine. I think that there was a link from Dennis Draeke about some config files and their location.
All help gratefully accepted!
TIA,

After experiencing the situation where a codec (LEAD MJPG) that had worked previously suddenly would not export through AME again, I tracked down the preferences files as outlined above and removed the following files:
Adobe Premiere Pro Prefs,
Adobe Premiere Pro Prefs~2
AMEPrefs.xml
And once again I could export with any codec settings I chose with no problems.
I'm working with 1280x720, 30P, square pixels, 44.1kHz, 16-bit stereo material.
When not working, the encode would proceed about 1/2- to 2/3 of the way through and then stop and return the message:
- Preset Used: 1280x720P TX-1 Settings - LEAD Codec
- Video: 1280x720, 30 [fps], Progressive, Quality 90
- Audio: 44100 Hz, Stereo, 16 bit
- Bitrate:
- Encoding Time: 00:15:27
4/10/2010 2:56:50 PM : Encoding Failed
Error compiling movie.
Codec compression error.
This codec may be unable to support the requested frame size, or there may be a hardware or memory problem.
After removing those three files, encoding would finish properly and return the message:
- Preset Used: 1280x720P TX-1 Settings - LEAD Codec
- Video: 1280x720, 30 [fps], Progressive, Quality 90
- Audio: 44100 Hz, Stereo, 16 bit
- Bitrate:
- Encoding Time: 00:03:09
4/11/2010 1:39:31 PM : File Successfully Encoded
4/11/2010 1:39:31 PM : Queue Stopped
Thought I'd post the results in case it might help help someone solve a problem.

Essbase.ini file location

Essbase 6.2.2 In MS Terminal Server, how do I specify which essbase.ini file to use (ie. file path)? I logged in using the admininstrator account to solve another issue and ever since it is bypassing the individual client file and using the administrator version. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

ICal 2.0.2 (1038) file locations questions

my iCal (v2.0.2 (1038)) seems whacked...
are iCal's calendars in ~/Library/Calendars? and do they end in .ics? mine is empty! read on...
also, i have a folder called 'iCal' in ~/Library/| Application Support/ that has a folder in it called 'Sources' and among the files in it there are some called ...a bunch of letters&numbers.calendar. i believe those are my three calendars!
I have come to conclusion this is why my iCal is so slow opening! and other problems.
this must have occurred during some some upgrade maybe?
how can i remedy this? i'd hate to lose all my calendars histories.
I tried creating a new calendar and it created a new '4D56BA09.calendar' file in ~/Library/| Application Support/iCal/Sources/. nothing in ~/Library/Calendars.

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.

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.

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.
Simon

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
