Introduction

UltraLogon represents a direct replacement for SAP Logon. UltraLogon offers many new features and benefits that standard SAP Logon program can not provide. UltraLogon ensures optimal client integration in your SAP system landscape.

Release or hardware updates to SAP systems require the continued reallocation of the SAP Logon ini file. This takes high organizational and administrative effort; as a result SAP client access data are not always up to date. It is also often necessary to update the services file, which is located in Windows operating system. In most cases end users are not able to maintain the services file.

With UltraLogon the distribution of the SAP Logon ini file becomes unnecessary. The file is centrally stored on web server, thus the client is constantly up to date. Another benefit of UltraLogon is that the maintenance of the services file becomes obsolete. UltraLogon features an internal cache which ensures a trouble free work even when networks interruptions occur.

Companies with large SAP system landscape have often complex SAP Logon ini files. UltraLogon eases the work by displaying only SAP systems relevant to the end user. Although all user access to the same SAP ini file distribution server, each user group can have its own saplogon.ini file. A constant reallocation of the ini file is omitted.

The UltraLogon main window appears:

Setup Ini Files

There are various ways to establish SAP Logon ini files in UltraLogon. The best solution depends of the quantity of users in your company.

1 – 10 User: Ini file stored on network drive

10 – 300 User: Ini file stored on web server

More than 300 User: Use UltraLogon configuration file

Several customers: Use custom ini file setup

Ini File stored locally or on network drive

Click Options button or select in menu Extras the menu item Options. The following window appears:

In order to use a locally or remotely stored SAP Logon ini file click the Browse button. UNC paths are also supported. Example:

UNC file: \\server\share\sapdata\saplogon_CRM.ini

Local file: C:\Windows\saplogon_CRM.ini

File on network drive : H:\Organization\sap\saplogon_CRM.ini

If you choose a remotely stored ini file on network drive, that file will be also stored by UltraLogon’s internal cache. The file will be available even if the network drive is offline. However the ini file can not be updated when network drive is not available.

Use the Browse button for easier navigation.

Ini File stored on Web Server

Click Options button or select in menu Extras the menu item Options. The following window appears:

The desired SAP Logon ini file must be stored on a web server. You can use any web server, such as Microsoft IIS or Apache for UNIX operating systems.

Example: http://www.myserver.com/sap_ini/saplogon_CRM.ini

Click OK button. Ini file will be automatically downloaded and displayed in the SAP systems selection list.

The selected ini file is also stored in the internal cache of UltraLogon. If the web server is not available, the last used version will be used. Every restart of UltraLogon causes a check if a newer version of the SAP Logon ini file is available.

If you store files on a web server running under UNIX operating system, make sure to enter the correct internet address and filename since it is case sensitive.

Ini File Group Configuration File

This is the most flexible solution to display SAP Logon ini files. It offers the user a list of SAP systems to choose from. Each ini file creates an own entry in the ini file group selection list.
