Client Configuration 

You configure your NWBC locally on your client for the first logon to the Business Client.

       1.      Start the NWBC by double-clicking the appropriate icon on your desktop.

This automatically connects the NWBC with the system entered in your local NWBCClient.ini file as the default connection. If you need to log on, for example when logging on to the Business Client initially, a small logon screen appears in this dialog box.

Example:

This is the logon dialog box for the system logon.

       2.      Enter the necessary data.

The dialog box closes automatically once the logon process is complete and the content has been fetched.

       3.      The NWBC starts.

System Selection and Configuration

You select the current system and configure systems in a configuration dialog box that you reach using the menu in the NWBC.

       4.      Choose System → Preferences.

The configuration dialog box opens.

Example:

The system against which the NWBC client works is the active system (Status is Active). Note that you cannot delete it.

       5.      You can carry out the following actions on the configuration screen:

○       Change the system against which the NWBC works.

Choose Switch To.

○       Define new systems.

Choose Add.

○       Use the settings of an existing system as a template.

Choose Duplicate.

○       Change the settings of an existing system.

Choose Edit.

○       Delete an existing system.

Choose Delete.

If you choose Add, Duplicate, or Edit, a screen appears containing the corresponding connection settings.

Example:

If you want to create trace or log files, change the default setting, ERROR, to the required setting. For more information, see Tracing and Logging.

       6.      If necessary, change the settings.

Starting Business Client from the Command Line

You can also call the Business Client from a relevant command line, whereby the required configuration settings are evaluated straight away.

“<local path for the NWBCClient.exe“  /user=<user name> password=<password> /connection=“<connection name from the configuration dialog>“

or:

“<local path for the NWBCClient.exe“ /user=<user name> password=<password> /connection=<connection name from the configuration dialog>

 

Example:

"C:\Program Files\SAP\FrontEnd\SAPgui\NWBCClient.exe" /user=anzeiger password=display /connection="WDA Testsuite"

or:

"C:\Program Files\SAP\FrontEnd\SAPgui\NWBCClient.exe" /user=display, /password=display /connection=NWBC_WDA
