Hi Nivas,

when you decide to install both SAPGui 7.40 and NWBC 5.0, the existing config Files (saplgon.ini, sapmsg.ini, saproute,ini, SapLogonTree.xml) are converted to SAPUiLandscape files in .xml format (SAPUILandscape.xml, SAPUILandscapeGlobal.xml).

The advantage is, that both SAPGui 7.40 and NWBC 5.0 use the SAPUiLandscape files as common data source for connections. If a new sapgui connection is maintained via NWBC, it is also visible in SAPLogon or SAPLogonPad.

The disadvantage is, that you might have to adapt your SAPGui icons, if you use the /INI_FILE parameter for saplgpad.exe or saplogon.exe, e.g.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP\FrontEnd\SAPgui\saplgpad.exe" /INI_FILE=N:\MASTERSAPLOGON\mastersaplogon.in

does not work any longer.

Regards,

Bernd

7.40 GUI is compatible with ALL supported backend releases.

Sorry, your title is misleading, If you mean NWBC (Netweaver Business Client) then no, NWBC 5.0 is NOT required, you can simply leave it out of your

installation creation process.

Hi Nivas

Do you mean NWBC 5.0? If so, comes down to is your company using the Netweaver Business Client UI or not? If you do mean NWBC, then google is your friend to find out the uses and benefits.

As I mentioned, you can search for some of this information. A first stop would be in the NWBC space of SCN: http://scn.sap.com/community/netweaver-business-client

This space covers the release information for NWBC 5.0

As part of SAPGUI 7.4 install, you have the option to install NWBC at the same time. If you are allowed to install for your desktop only, you could install it and have a look around?
