Installation and Client Configuration
As an administrator, you perform several installation and configuration steps to ensure that SAP Business Client fully operates in an ABAP or a portal environment. Some configuration settings are relevant in particular for end users, such as personalization settings, and these are described in the end-user documentation.
End-users must have a local installation of the business client, or they access an installation on a Windows Terminal Server (WTS). Another option is to install the SAP Business Client front end in an automated process without any end user interaction. This unified procedure allows administrators to do the following:
-
Set up an installation server with SAP GUI 7.40 and SAP Business Client
-
Collect many SAP front-end components (or front-end products) on an installation server, and then perform installations, updates, or de-installations on workstations via a network
This chapter covers all aspects concerning the installation of SAP Business Client, either stand-alone or together with SAP GUI.
