Starting SAP Business Client for DesktopLocate this document in the navigation structure

Context

To log on to SAP Business Client for Desktop, you need an SAP Business Client shortcut on your desktop. Once your system administrator has installed the business client on your machine, you can make your own settings and start performing your daily tasks. Change your password the first time you log on and at regular intervals. You must configure SAP Business Client on your client the first time you log on.

Procedure

  1. To start SAP Business Client, double-click the Shortcut SAP Business Client on your desktop.

    Depending on your personal settings for system connections, either a logon or a system selection screen is displayed, or SAP Business Client opens directly with the roles configured for your user.

  2. Proceed as follows:

    • If a logon screen is displayed, enter your user name and password.

      SAP Business Client starts and connects to the last active system connection defined in your system configuration.

      Note

      The logon screen is displayed the first time you open SAP Business Client if the following applies:

      • You have configured a system connection.

      • You have selected the Hide System Selector on Start-Up checkbox in the personalization settings dialog (activated by default).

    • If a system selection screen is displayed, select the corresponding entry in the list and choose Log On. The last active connection is highlighted.

      Note

      The system selection screen is displayed if you have deselected the Hide System Selector on Startup checkbox in the personalization settings dialog. You can log on to a system connection, or add, change, and delete it.
