Installing Packages Using the Logon Script
To automate the installation of SAP front end components on a large number of workstations, insert a command line into the logon scripts of the users. This enables you to start the installation of SAP front end components or a package when the user logs on.
Prerequisites
The SAP front end components (especially SAP GUI) should not be running when you perform the following procedure, as SAPSetup might require a reboot to complete the installation if program files are in use.
Procedure
To automatically install a package when a user logs on, add the following command to the user’s logon script:
<server><shared directory>SetupNwSapSetup.exe /package:“<package command line name>“ /nodlg
When you start this command for the first time on a workstation, SAPSetup installs the specified package. With every following logon, SAPSetup will check for updates of this package on the installation server.
Command Line Parameters
SAP GUI Installation on a Workstation from an Installation Server
The installation process from an installation server is flexible, easy, and customizable. It makes maintenance easier in any phase of the distribution process, for example, when applying patches.
When installing SAP front end components with server-based workstation installation:
The following options are available:
● Without user interaction (unattended)
● With user interaction (attended), where the user has the following options:
○ Select from installation packages that the administrator has configured
○ Select from a complete list of SAP front end components available on the installation server
Process Flow
The following figure shows how the installation with an installation server works.
With an installation server, the administrator can group various SAP front end components together as installation packages relevant for certain employee roles. The administrator can also specify which package particular users should receive, or offer a variety of packages and allow the user to choose the most appropriate one.
