SAPgui 7.20. Use multiple saplogon.ini files

[Former Member]

Hi,

With SAPgui 7.20 you can make subdirectories in SAPlogon. Is it possible to assign more then one saplogon.ini file to saplogon and display the systems in separate subdirectories?

Now I use 2 seperate SAPlogons with each their own saplogon.ini. One containing the system I use most, and one containing all the (demo) systems of my company. It would be great If I could use one saplogon containing the systems from both ini files in different subdirectories.

SAPGUI/SAPLOGON can only open once at a time.

take the SAPLOGON.INI file that contains the most entries, then create entries from the other SAPLOGON.INI manually.

unfortunately, you cannot merge 2 saplogon.ini easily.

Yes it is possible. There are new possibilities to merge saplogon.ins from different locations with sapgui 7.20.

You can put a central saplogon.ini on a global share for all users and then you can merge it with another one with local entries (test systems).

The systems which belong to the central saplogon.ini are "grey" and the system which belog to the local saologon.ini are black.

It works fine.

Can you explain how to do it because this sounds like exactly what I need.

I do not have any experience with this but plan to look into it. I believe where they are mentioning this is under the SAP GUI configuration within 7.20. Look at the SAP Logon options. Under there you will find a configuration files option. There you can define the location of the saplogon.ini file as well as one from a server. The one from a serveer however is stated for XML. Again, I have no previous experience with this and perhaps someone else on the forum has, but perhaps this is where you could begin.

Have a look at SAP note 1426178 - SAP Logon (Pad) 7.20: server configuration file

where can you download sapgui 7.20 for the Mac? I have looked all over the web site (the worse i have ever seen)--can't find it anywhere.

Hello,

a good start to find where to download SAP GUI for Java would be the announcements of new versions in this forum like [this one|;.

Hope this helps
