Connections to ABAP Systems not found in Eclipse

[Former Member]

Dear community,

trying to evaluate the "Abap in Eclipse" tools, I encounter the following problem:

Whenever I try to add a new ABAP Project and click on "Browse", I do not see a single connection. This is what I have already tried to solve the problem:

• copied the saplogon.ini-file to the Eclipse directory
• created the sys-variable SAPLOGON_DEV_INI to point to this .ini file
• restarted the system
• turned on SNC for some of the connection ins saplogon.ini
• searched the eclipse error log for related errors

None of the above helped. Can anyone please clarify on how and where Eclipse looks for the saplogon.ini-File? Any help would be greatly appreciated - thanks in advance!

Regards,

Michael

P.S.: My configuration:

• Eclipse Juno
• most recent version of abap tools, downloaded via update site
• SAPLogon 7300.1.0.1074, Patchlevel 0
• various Netweaver-Stacks in the backend, but this should be irrelevant since I don't even see the connections

Hi Michael,

the name of the environment variable to specify an alternative location of the saplogon.ini
file must be SAPLOGON_INI_FILE

Hi Felix,

thanks for your reply. Actually, I did name the variable SAPLOGON_INI_FILE, that was my mistake in my initial posting. Sorry for that ....

Hi Michael,

I was able to use a saplogon.ini file placed in the Eclipse folder by setting the environment variable. Could you please send me some support information (Help=>Collect Support Information) via mail?

Hi Felix,

your reply implicitly solved my issue I had to put the ini-File into the Eclipse folder AND set the env-variable to point at it, and now it works.

Before that, I had only tried putting it into the Eclipse folder OR keeping it in it's original folder and referencing it via SAPLOGON_INI_FILE, and none of both worked for me.

Once again thank's for your quick reply,

Regards,

Michael

I have the same problem.

It works if I use the  environment variable SAPLOGON_INI_FILE and point to my Eclipse folder, but...

It does not work if I point to my "S:" drive. ( central server where we store the saplogon.ini )

I don't want to have my saplogon.ini as a "local version"....

Hi,

A mix of above mentioned approaches works perfect:

You can have your saplogon.ini file anywhere, even in the cloud.

Adding the System-variable you have to be careful:

It must be a variable you're able to access. If the variable is added in the user's context it probably won't if your administrator adding the var isn't you (or your personal user). To make sure it works in any case it really must be added as SYSTEM variable.
