Use

You can install SAP Business Client centrally on Windows Terminal Server (WTS) farms that end users can access.

You have to log on to the WTS as local administrator to perform the installation. The installation is always done in install mode. If you switch the WTS into install mode, additional registry entries are maintained during the installation process, and the environment is prepared for multi-user environments. For more information, see http://www.msterminalservices.org/articles/Managing-User-Specific-Application-Configuration-Data-Terminal-Service-Environment.html .

For end users, SAP Business Client works only after a domain user has logged on as administrator via Independent Computing Architecture (ICA) and has started the SAP Business Client in install mode at least once. Usually, the local administrator can do this. As an administrator, you can install SAP Business Client via Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP).

The number of SAP Business Client sessions that can be supported on a WTS server is dependent on the typical usage pattern, for example, whether SAP GUI or Web Dynpro applications are run, and on the number of open windows. SAP Business Client also makes extensive use of graphics, which can cause an additional load on the WTS servers.

After SAP Business Client is installed, the administrator makes the configuration settings. For more information, see 3.5 Administrator Configuration.

Prerequisites

  • You have local administrator rights on the WTS to perform an installation.

  • To prevent possible screen flicker issues on WTS, install and apply the Microsoft hotfix 955692. For more information, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/955692/en-us. The equivalent Citrix hotfix reference is CTX121354.
