Configuring Logon Groups (SAP Library)

Configuring Logon Groups

Use

You can create and delete logon group entries, remove groups from instances, and delete complete logon groups.

Procedure

To create or change a logon group:

Choose CCMS ® Configuration ® Logon Groups. Alternatively, call Transaction SMLG.

The system displays logon group names, instances and their status. To sort this list choose Group list ® Sort and then choose either Sort by group or Sort by instance.

From here you can:

Create entries
Sort by instance
Delete entries
Delete groups
Delete group assignments

Maintaining logon groups

To display and edit the response time thresholds for each logon group, in Transaction SMLG choose Group list ® Format ® Extended.

If you want to display additional information on a logon group, double-click on an entry in the table or choose F2.
In the Create/Change Entry dialog box, you can configure the following options:

Group assignment: The name of the workgroup that is or will be defined. SAP reserves the logon group called "SPACE", so do not use that name.

Instance (application server): Specifies the name of the instance that supports the class name that was defined above.

Response time: Once a response time has been defined for one group in an instance, you must define a response time for all groups using the same instance. The system automatically sets a homogeneous value for all groups that are associated with that instance.

Users: The maximum number of configured users who can be logged on to an instance. The system automatically sets a homogeneous value for all groups that are associated with that instance.

Note

The values for Response Time and Users are thresholds rather than absolute limits. Even if the current value for response time or number of users is higher than the threshold value, you can still log on to another instance. The threshold values only influence the calculation of the current logon server of the logon groups.
