Convert saplogon.ini (SAp Gui Windows) to Connections (SAp Gui Java)

[erik_hendrix]

Is there any tool available these days to convert a saplogon.ini from SAP Gui for Windows to a connections file for SAp Gui Java?

If not, any hints/tips on how to best do this conversion preferable with the least amount of typing?

Thanks.

Hello,

a set of scripts to convert the SAP GUI for Windows configuration files (saplogin.ini, sapmsg.ini, saproute.ini) and the sapms and sapdp port numbers of the services file in configuration files to be used with SAP GUI for Java can be found on the [SAP GUI family page|] or directly [here|?rid=/library/uuid/c00de625-24e8-2d10-67b3-f79dad1a27c7].

Best regards

there is no any tools to do it. You need do it manually. you can directly open your connections file and edit, the entry like below:

<system description>:conn=/H/<app host>/S/32<system number>&expert=true

Hello everybody,

I created a small tool, that is able to convert a given saplogon.ini file (as used by SAPGUI Win) to a connections file (as used by SAPGUI Java). Please let me know, in case you are interested by updating this thread.

Hi,

I didn't understand why you need conversion ? It is one time job..

If you have multiple entries in SAP GUI, you can make one SAP GUI for JAVA connection file..

Later on you can copy/replicate that "Connection" file on another Lunux/Unix host in the users home directory.

"/home/<user>/.SAPGUI/connections".

If you want to remove some of the entries for connection file, you can simply open it in "VI" editor, go to the particular line which you want to remove and press "D" 2 times. It will delete the line... that's it...

Otherwise, you may need to take help of Shell script expert who can capture the require fields from "saplogon.ini" and put in "connections" file with proper format..
