How to copy accesses SAP Logon

Today I will talk about the SAP access program called SAP Logon.  This program opens a window which contains one or several records, where each one is an entry to a different SAP server.

I will not spend time about the more basic options, as adding a new entry or edit an existing one.  I left this part to system administrators.  I want to focus on some tricks at user level.

Ussually you have an icon to launch it on your desktop.  The shortcut runs a program that should be in the path: "C\Program Files\SAP\FrontEnd\SAPgui\saplogon.exe".  Once we execute it, we will see a window with access to one or more SAP servers.

The information in each line on the SAP Logonis in a file called saplogon.ini.  You can find it in the path " C:\WINDOWS ".  You need to take care about it because you can erase your lines on the SAP Logon.

However with some caution, you can copy the entries from a SAP Logon to another computer very easily.  You need to have already SAP Logon on both computers.

• On the destination computer, make sure you have closed the SAP Logon window.
• On this computer, change the name to the file saplogon.ini form something like saplogon.iniold (in order to keep a back up of the previous configuration).
• Now copy the file saplogon.ini from your source computer to the target computer, by copying in a email, or in a USB stick, or sharing it on your intranet. 

It is a simple way to have the same access in differents computers.
