Use

When you upgrade an SAP System from Release 2.x to Release 3.x, copy the file saplogon.exe to the directory in which the sapgui.exe file was installed. The saplogon.ini file should be saved locally in the Windows directory. You should save the sapmsg.ini and saproute.ini files, however, in the frontend installation directory.

Procedures

  1. In your Windows installation directory, check the sapmsg.ini file.

Note

With Windows 3.1/3.11, the files are normally in the directory c:\windows. Wiith Windows NT they are normally in the directory c:\winnt .

The first line must contain the entry [Message Server] . For each SAP System that is available, the following entry should exist:

<SID> = <host name on which the message server is running> .

Example

[Message Server]

C11 = hostname.yourdomain

O01 = oss001

saproute.ini

The first line must contain the item [Router]

For each possible network connection, the following entry should exist:

<route name>=<route>

Here <route> is formulated as:

/H/<hostname on which the SAProuter is running>/S/<service>

You can concatenate several of these strings if the connection uses multiple SAProuters.

Example

[Router]

SAP Walldorf=/H/hostname.your.saprouter/S/sapdp99/H/147.204.64.1/S
/sapdp99

SAP Foster City=/H/hostname.your.saprouter/S/sapdp99/H/147.204.69.1/S
/sapdp99
  1. Ensure that the services file (with Windows 3.1/3.11 normally in the directory c:\windows ) for each system contains the following entry in the sapms.ini file:

sapms<SID> <nr.>/tcp

Example

sapmsC11 3670/tcp

sapmsO01 3616/tcp

The configuration data is stored in the saplogon.ini file in the Windows installation directory. You can configure the file names and the path specifications of the saplogon.ini file as you like. You should also save this individually-configured file locally.

If you are the administrator and want to preset a particular selection for the user, you can either deactivate:

To deactivate the selection options for Group Selection and Server Selection:

To log on to the system, you only need the saplogon.ini file. If sapmsg.ini and saproute.ini are not available locally, the selection options are not available to the user.

Alternatively, you can call the saplogon.ini file and insert the entry Restricted Mode=1 in the Configuration section. To be on the safe side, save saplogon.ini as a write-protected file. You could also set the environment variable to slg_restriction=1 for the entire system.

To deactivate unrestricted logon for the user:

You can use the saplgpad program so that users cannot edit or log on freely to the SAP Logon.

To log on to the system, you only need the preconfigured file saplogon.ini .

Note

sapmsg.ini and saproute.ini are not required at runtime.

saplgpad and saplogon use .ini files from the installation directory. If no .ini files are available in the installation directory, the programs access the Windows directory. If the system still cannot find any .ini files, saplogon creates saplogon.ini in the Windows directory as well as sapmsg.ini (if this is required).

When the user logs on, the system displays the SAP Logon. This only contains the selection list.
