SAP GUI Logon Pad Backup and Restore.

Backing and Restoring SAP Logon Pad entries from one system to another system.

The paths for Windows XP/Vista/7 are as follows:

• Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\SAP\Common
• Windows Vista/7: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\SAP\Common

• If you install SAP GUI for Windows ≥ 7.20 the first time on a client:
• After having installed SAP GUI, you start SAP Logon for the first time. The saplogon.ini file will be automatically created in the Common directory mentioned above. Use SAP Logon to create the necessary entries. Your configuration will be saved in the corresponding newly created configuration file(s).

• If you upgrade an existing SAP GUI for Windows to release ≥ 7.20:
  • After having upgraded the SAP GUI, you start SAP Logon for the first time. SAP Logon will now search for the default saplogon.ini and sapshortcut.ini files used in the former SAP Logon release in the known locations: the SAP GUI installation or the Windows directory.
  • SAP Logon will then copy the existing saplogon.ini and sapshortcut.ini files to the Common folder, so that the former configuration details can be used again with the upgraded SAP GUI. The old versions of the *.ini files used with previous SAP GUI releases will remain in the former locations to allow going back to older SAP GUI releases, if this should ever be required. However, note that entries you added in SAP Logon as of SAP GUI for Windows 7.20 will not be added to the *.ini files in the old locations.
