Administrator Configuration

Use

As an administrator of SAP NWBC 5.0 you can use the former configuration files and the new administrator configuration file in the SAP UI landscape format to define user settings and connection configurations (landscape settings) respectively.

The following table details the files available to you for this purpose:

File Name	Description
Administrator configuration file, e.g. SAPUILandscapeGlobal.xml Note The name of this file can be changed. In this documentation, it is always referred to as SAPUILandscapeGlobal.xml.	Use this file to predefine connection configurations (landscape settings) that the end-user cannot change such as a set of possible system connections, side panels, or search providers.
XML template NwbcOptions.xml.template	Use this template to create the NwbcOptions.xml file that you can use to predefine NWBC settings for all end-users. Adapt the XML template found under the following paths, and save it as an XML file: `C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\SAP\NWBC\NwbcOptions.xml.template` for Microsoft Windows Server 2003 `C:\ProgramData\SAP\NWBC\NwbcOptions.xml.template` for all other operating systems
Link file template NwbcRemoteOptions.xml.template	In this file you can specify a reference to a server (for example, `http://my.central.server.com:8080/somepath/NwbcOptions.xml`) or a reference to a share in the internal network (for example, `file:///myfileshare/somepath/NwbcOptions.xml`). If an administrator has defined a reference that is temporarily not available (for example, the server cannot be reached), the system displays an error message for end users and NWBC for Desktop cannot be started. Use this template to create the NwbcRemoteOptions.xml file.
XML schema NwbcOptions.xsd	This file contains a set of rules to which the NwbcOptions.xml, that contains the administrator settings, must conform. As an administrator, you can use the XML schema to validate the NwbcOptions.xml against it.
