Defining System Connections 

Use

The SAPConsole Administrator allows you to either manually define a connection to the SAP system or use existing connection parameters from SAPLogon. In addition, you have the possibility to use a modifiable logon screen.

Prerequisites

Like SAPLogon, the standalone SAPConsole 7.10 needs the following files filled with the corresponding content so that you can define system connections properly:

●      saproute.ini and sapmsg.ini under C:\Windows

●      service under C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc

●      For using existing connection parameters from SAPLogon, you need additionally the saplogon.ini under C:\Windows.

Activities

You have the following possibilities to define system connections:

Manually Defining a Connection

You can add a new system by manually entering the SAP backend system connection parameters. This requires the determination of a host and router.

Adding new systems to the SAPConsole Administrator does not automatically add them to SAPLogon.

Proceed as follows to manually define a connection for a profile:

...

       1.      Select the profile.

       2.      In the Connection tab, enter the following details:

Field	Description
Host Name	Name of the host
Router	Complete SAP router string
System ID	Number of the system to which you are logging on.
Transaction Code	The first transaction code that will be executed.

 

Example:

 

 

Using Existing Connection Parameters from SAPLogon

You can use the connection parameters of any system that has been added to SAPLogon’s list.

Note that for using existing connection parameters from SAPLogon, you need to have maintained the saplogon.ini under C:\Windows which is normally created by and configured in SAPGui.

To use existing connection parameters from SAPLogon:

       1.      In the Connection tab, select SAPLogon Selection.

The System Description and Transaction Code fields appear in the Connectiontab.

       3.      Select a system.

       4.      Enter a transaction code representing the first transaction that will be executed.

 

Using a Modifiable Logon Screen

You can connect to the SAP backend system via an additional modifiable logon screen for releases 4.6C and higher (Program SAPMSYST, number 0025).

Proceed as follows to use the modifiable logon screen:

In the Connectiontab, select Optional Logon Screen.
