Background documentation Parameters in the ini File  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

The NWBCClient.ini file contains important settings for the Business Client. When the Business Client is started for the first time after it has been installed, this file is copied from the path where the NWBCClient.exe file is stored to the 'My Documents' folder. After this the NWBCClient.ini file is always read from this path.

Note

Since the NWBCClient.ini file is not overwritten if the Business Client is installed again, new settings must be made manually in the file.

If you hold down the ALT key when starting the Business Client, no connection to the system last used is established. You can use the Preferences dialog box to connect to a system of your choice.
More information: Client Configuration.

Format

The ini file is divided into different sections. The name of each new section is displayed in square brackets, for example, [MYSECTION]. Section names are not case sensitive.

Each section contains properties and their values. Each property is listed on a separate line.

Format:

[Section]

 name1 = value1
