Connection Configuration

Starting with SAP NWBC 5.0, both the administrator configuration file and the user configuration file appear in the new SAP UI landscape format. You use the administrator configuration file to define connection configurations (landscape settings).

What is the Administrator Configuration File?

The administrator configuration file replaces former NWBC configuration settings for system connections and search providers in %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\SAP\NWBC\NwbcOptions.xml. This file can be provided to the end-users either by pull request or by push request.

For more information, see Provision of Configuration Files.

Note

The NWBC client configuration that is reflected in the following locations remains in the NwbcOptions.xml file:

Personalize and Support dialogs
SingleOptions
WebbrowserFeatures
NwbcCommands sections
Elements in %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\SAP\NWBC\NwbcOptions.xml

Caution

When modifying the administrator configuration file, the UUIDs contained in this file must not be changed! Otherwise, the references from connections contained in the user configuration files to the administrator configuration file are disrupted.

What is the User Configuration File?

The user configuration file contains all user-specific configuration settings made by the user himself/herself. For example, new folders or connections created by a user would be recorded in this file.
