Rocky what Juan means is have you configured your SAPGUI at the front end to use that logon groups

Rohit

You need to configure SAPGUi to use those logon groups... so basically you need to change the entry on the gui to use a group instead of an specific server.

simply open the file and write ur ip and then give space and hostname

Rohit

[JPReyes · Accepted solution]

Host file should have the name and ip address of your hosts and its located in C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts.

Services file should contain a sapms<SID> and the port 36XX/tcp where XX is the instance number and its located at C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\services

Hi Rocky,

Since you have two threads open on the same subject that are quite long, asking detailed step-by-step questions about creating/using logon groups, can I please suggest that you first read the help documentation on Logon Groups and try to configure it. Thank you.

Best Regards,

Matt

Hi Rocky,

In host file the entries should be like

192.168.0.1 system1

(i.e. IP Address Hostname)
