DNS group entry for an SMLG group

[Former Member]

hi all,

Right now we include the sapmsSID 3600/tcp in users "services" file so I can have them log in through a UserGroup. My network manager would like to automate the process but we weren't able to create a DNS entry, and we're not sure of the syntax.. We're almost stuck so pleaaase help!

Thank you,

Hi,

You need to create that entry sapmsSID in services file of each host on the network where sap gui install.

it's not possible to create DNS entry for that , DNS is use for domain name resolution with corresponding ip address.

so create one services file with your logon group system entry and distribute it to each host.

hi Kaushal,

great thanks, but one question so i'll have it %100 clarified. By host do you mean my DNS hosts? Or my SAP hosts?

i just looked in my SAP servers and saw that the sapmsQAS 3600/tcp is already in their services file. So I take it you think I should add it to the DNS's services file..?

Hi,

You mix things up.

DNS has nothing to do with the services file.

DNS is used to resolve IP addresses from hostnames.

The services file is to resolve TCP/IP port numbers from services names.

You need to distribute an etc/services file on each PC using sapgui.

Oliver,

That's what how we have it now, but we just thought there might be a way to automate the process. But I guess there's no way..

Thanks anyway..

If you use the SAPGUI installation server there is a way of distributing those (we're doing that and it works):
