Starting Application Server on a Microsoft Windows Client

Use

You can start Application Server on a Microsoft Windows client to run client/server with another instance of Application Server installed on a Windows server or Linux/UNIX server.

For Linux/UNIX implementations, there is no facility for creating link IDs on Linux/UNIX. Instead, you must use Application Server on the Microsoft Windows client machine to create the required entries in lsdal.ini and move that file to Linux/UNIX.

Prerequisites

Application Server is installed on a Linux/UNIX server or Microsoft Windows server, and on a Microsoft Windows client machine.

You have completed the configuration of Application Server on the server system.

Procedure

1. Open the Lsserver.ini file in a text editor. It is located in the Microsoft Windows directory.

2. Change the [localhost] to the name or the IP of the system you are connecting to.

3. For the username=pipadmin entry, type the name of a user who has logon access to the system.

4. Leave the password=? entry empty or type a question mark (?). You are prompted for the password when you try to connect. The contents of the file should look as follows:

   [<your system name or IP>]

   tcp_protocol=winsock

   username=<your user name>

   password=?

   PROTOCOL=TCP

   SERVICE=PILOT

   CURSOR=LSSCMPTR

5. Verify that the Application Server Administrator software has been correctly installed on the Microsoft Windows client machine. Choose Start  Program  SAP BusinessObjects  Strategy Management  Application Server Administrator. A Logon dialog box appears.

6. In the User name text box, type the following user name, which is created at installation:

   admin

7. Do not enter any values in the Password box because this Application Server user has no password by default.

8. From the Server dropdown list, select the name you specified for [localhost]. Click OK.

9. When prompted, enter the password for the system user you added to the lsserver.ini file.
