EI_Logon – EasyInput connection worksheet

 

To get access to an SAP system one has to fill the technical connection information on the EI_Logon worksheet.

This information can be found in the SAP Logon application and rewritten manually or imported automatically via ribbon menu buttons.

Use “Get connection data from SAP Logon” button to import connection data of a chosen SAP system.

Afterwards, it is recommended to check the RFC connection by pressing “Check connection” button.

 

 

The information entered on this screen are divided into 4 sections:         

Section

Rows 7-11

The most important (required) fields in this section are:

4. Connection data – SAP System using load balancing

If the connection is to be done with load balancing this section should be filled in. In such a case the section 3 should remain empty.  

 

Usually one has to provide USER in the first section and fill the data in one of the sections 2, 3 or 4.
