Config File Specialisations

Config File – Specialisations

SAP GUI Location

The bot may be running in an environment where SAP’s SAPGui.exe files are not in the standard location. The logfile on startup will report it as:

A new entry in the config.xml will allow an alternative path to be specified.
<SAPGuiPath>C:\Programme\SAP\FrontEnd\SapGui</SAPGuiPath>

Passwords

If your organisation’s internal policy will not allow the password to be saved into the config file then you can remove the line below in the config file and this will prompt the password to be entered each time the Bot is started.

<Password>password</Password>

Message Server and logon Groups

If the central system uses a message server and logon group then the config file can be updated with these three elements below:

<MessageServerService>MessageServer</MessageServerService>
<MessageServerHost>MessageServerHost</MessageServerHost>
<LogonGroup>LogonGroup</LogonGroup>

sapmsS6A 3656/tcp
...emptyline...
NOTE: Make sure there is a proper ‘empty line’ at the end of the services file. A Carriage Return will create it.

*Note if you use the Message Server and logon group the Gateway Host and Service below must be removed

<GatewayHost>GatewayHost</GatewayHost>
<GatewayService>sapgwxx</GatewayService>
