SAPgui 720 pl10 logon balancing errors. services file not updated. sapguishared.xml

[Former Member]

We created an install package for SAPgui 720 PL10 (hotfix 3) and are getting logon balancing errors on new workstations.  In all previous SAPgui update packages, the sapguishared.xml was used during the install process which added the system entries automatically to the services file.

This section of sapguishared.xml was not executed this time and the services file was not updated:

                               sapgw98  3398/tcp

                               sapgw99  3399/tcp

                               sapmsBWP  3600/tcp

                               sapmsPRD  3600/tcp

During the SAPgui package build we disabled auto updating.  Does this cause the .xml file to be excluded during the sapgui installation?

The sapguishared.xml is located in the \setup folder.  Is this the correct location while the installation package is created?

Thanks,

Hi Scott,

I modify the services with an on end install script:

If objTextFile.Parse( strFile ) Then

NwEngine.Context.Log.Write "Event: Modify the file " & Chr(34) & strFile & Chr(34)

If objTextFile.DoesStringExist( "sapmsSID" ) Then

objTextFile.ReplaceLineEx "sapmsSID", "sapmsSID 3600/tcp"

objTextFile.AppendLine "sapmsSID2 3600/tcp"

Else

objTextFile.AppendLine "sapmsSID 3600/tcp"

objTextFile.AppendLine "sapmsSID2 3600/tcp"

End If

objTextFile.Save( strFile )

Else

NWEngine.Context.Log.WriteWarning "Event: Could not open the file " & Chr(34) & strSalFile & Chr(34)

End If

I guess this is a little easier to use than the sapguishared.xml

Best regards,
