SAPLOGON.INI within Standalone Installationpackage

[evelyn_heil]

Hello,

we used the SAP Installation Server Administration Tool to build our SAP Installation Packages.

For the SAPLOGON.INI weu2019ve implemented a u201COn End Installu201D Script using the SAP Administration Tool, this script simply copies the file from a server and sets up the Systemvariable

strSrcFile = NwEngine.Variables.ResolveString("
installationserver\packages$\SAP\SAPLogon\SAPLogon.ini")

strDstFile = "C:\windows\SAPLogon.ini"

NwEngine.Shell.CopyFileEx strSrcFile, strDstFile, vbTrue

NwEngine.Shell.SetRegValue "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment\SAPLOGON_INI_FILE", "REG_SZ", "c:\windows\SAPLogon.ini"

This script is working perfect, but during the rollout we found out that these script wont work if the client, which installs the Package, is not in the location of u201CInstallationserveru201D as per firewall rules the clients have no access from e.g. subsidiaries or VPN to this server.

Is there a possibility to include the SAPLOGON.INI file in the standalone Installation package, or create the SAPLOGON.ini file during the installation process?

We are using SAPGUI 7.20.

Software Deployment Server is Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R2.

Client OS: Windows 7

Thank you,

Hello Evelyn

please use the "Compress to Single File Installer"

to make an self extracting Installer Exe File.

This will also includes the Saplogon.ini from your customerFiles

folder

Please read the documentation in the Installation server help.chm ( in the SETUP folder of the Installation Server )

Chapter " Creating and Deploying Self-Installing Packages"

Best regards.

Hello Sven,

We already created Single File Installer Packages for our SAP GUI / SAPBI GUI.(With the " SAPgui720_0-10007878GUIWINDOWSWIN32setupNwSapSetupAdmin.exe"´)

The inclusion of the custom saplogon.ini was not part of the process.

Iu2019ve read the CHM you pointed me to, but therefore I need to install the SAP Installation Server, is this correct?

Is there no other way to do this..?

As Iu2019ve never used SAP Inst Server before u2013 is this just a u201CProgram / Toolu201D that can be additionally installed on e.g. our Software Deployment Server, or a complete Server Administration toolkit which requires a single server for it?

Thank you,

Hello Evelyn,

yes, you need an SAP Frontend installation server.

This is only a Tool.

For Testing you can run this instalaltion server also on an

XP, or Windows 7 client.

PLease use the Frontend Installation Guide for all informations about the

Frontend Installation Server.

The Guide is stored in the DOCU folder of the source cd.

With the Frontend Installation Server you can create your own packages and

your own sefl installer files.

And you can use then all the given Script examples in the nwsapsetupadmin tool.

Best regards, Sven
