Install the SAP GUI

As a student of this SAP class, you have permission from the SAP University Alliance to install the
graphical user interface (GUI) for SAP software. Note that you do not install the SAP software on your
computer, only the GUI which allows you to interact with our SAP servers, located in Chico, California,
as long as you have a valid logon account. When you want to perform SAP transactions, your computer
has to be connected to the Internet.

The SAP GUI is installed on every computer in the Galloway Business Building labs, as well as on
some computers in the Mary and John Gray Library. Having the SAP GUI installed on your own
computer allows you to complete SAP assignments at your home.

All SAP students may download the SAP GUI file from:

User: sap Password: sapgui4me

FOR WINDOWS MACHINES:

1. Find and click on the Windows version

of the SAP GUI file indicated as
Lightweight. (This version does not
include the Business Intelligence
module; to also install the Business
Intelligence module, click the file
designated as Automated under the
Business Intelligence pane.) Click the
file to access the download link. Click
the download link and choose either
RUN or SAVE. RUN will load the
software to your machine automatically without having to do any setup. This should also load all the
server information as well. It will take
several minutes to install.

2. Once the SAP Front-End page

displays, click Next. Place a
checkmark in the box next to the file name. This will install all components of the SAP GUI file.

3. Once the file has installed, find the SAP Logon icon on your desktop and double click it to
open the SAP LOGON dialog box.

4. Select the server you need for your class and check to make sure you can log in without problems.
(Computers running Firewalls may need to allow the SAP GUI to pass through the Firewall. This is
often done automatically, but may require some setup otherwise.)
FOR MAC OS X MACHINES:

1. Access the website shown above.

2. Double-click SAP GUI Java Installer

to initiate the installation. The download link will appear
once you click the file; choose the Run option. This is a
self-extracting executable file, so the file should
automatically open and begin its installation.

3. Once the file has completed its installation (this will take a couple of
minutes), the SAP Logon icon should be available either on your desktop, or along the
Application bar at the bottom of your screen. If the icon is not in these locations check
your Applications folder.

4. Click the SAP Logon icon to

open the SAPGUI for Java window. There will
not be any servers showing at this point. From
the Menu bar at the top of your screen, click on
SAPGUI and choose Preferences… from the
menu.

5. Enter the following URL into the field named SAP UI Landscape under the Web
AS section:

http://worker.cob.csuchico.edu/hostsaplogon/SAPUILandscape.xml

This URL will find the server list and load it each time you open your SAP GUI. You will need to
ensure you are on the internet before starting this window.
6. Once the complete path is entered in the Configuration Settings field, click the
Apply button in the
lower right corner. Finally, click Save if available. You should see a message indicating the
Configuration has been saved.

7. Click the SAP Logon icon to open the SAPGUI for Java window. Click the
dropdown in the middle of the window and select Local from the menu. You should now see a list of
available servers. Click on the server you are to use for class to test your connection. (You will need
to access the Internet for your connection to work.)
