Define a Connection for an SAPGUI Logical Name

The SAPGUI logical name connection uses SAPGUI parameters to connect to the SAP System. You can use this option only if the following conditions are true:
  • The machine on which the SAS server is running has 32-bit Windows installed.
  • SAPGUI is installed on the machine that is running the SAS server.
  • The SAP System definitions have been entered into the SAP login.
Follow these steps to define an SAPGUI logical name connection:
  1. Select the SAPGUI Logical Name connection type in the Connection Properties page.
  2. Click Options to display the SAPGUI Logical Name Options dialog box.
  3. In the SAP Logon ID - 32 Bit Windows field, enter the SAP login ID that is to be used to connect to the SAP System. This login ID is defined by SAPGUI and can be used only on a machine that is running 32-bit Windows.
  4. Click OK in the SAPGUI Logical Name Options dialog box to save the login ID and return to the Connection Properties page.
