SAP Configuration Tool

[Former Member]

I need to make few changes in UME properties for that I need to use/access SAP Configuration Tool. I need to know who (usually) have authority to access the same i.e. Basis, Consultants, ICT Lead etc.

Config Tool - Administration Manual - SAP Library

Any help in this regard would be highly regarded.

Thanks.

Hi Sean,

Every Java instance 7.0 has Config Tool under this path (In >7.3 this tool in web based😞

/usr/sap/SID/JC<instance number>/j2ee/configtool

You could get configtool folder to execute this tool remotely. You must configure hostname & port. You will need user administrator credentials.

From my understanding, common scenarios to have access to this tool:

- SAP Basis administrator / SAP NW Portal developers (Customer's employees)

- SAP Basis consultants / SAP NW Portal consultant (Depending on customer rules or if customer have outsourced administration to services partner).

Hope this helps,

Kind regards

Hi,

I will only add that in 7.3 you still have "old fashioned" configtool available, however the same setting can be changed through NWA.

There is some confusion running around BASIS team as they say that there isn't any JAVA installed.

I did some research on this and it comes out to be that ...........

To use the configuration tool

Start the Config Tool by executing <SAPJ2EEEngine_installation>\j2ee\configtool\configtool.bat.

Can I get it installed by BASIS and ask to make changes under UME parameters?

Please help as I need to suggest some solution at the earliest.

Hi,

There must be some misunderstanding between you and your BASIS team, as configtool comes as a standard with portal installation.

Anyway if you are on version 7.3 try using NWA. Go to Configuration - Infrastructure - Java System Properties.

Select "Services" tab and go to User Management Engine"

Hi Artur,

Thanks for your reply.

Actually, at our place we've been facing a probem related to automatic login for gui users. Even if you logoff from the same all you'll require to do is to refresh the page to login.

So, thought of changing UME parameters as suggested.

Configuring the Portal Logoff URL - Portal - SAP Library

by it didn't work.

Have you ever come across this?

Another solution is by changing webgui services under SICF transaction (see attachment). My question is whether the problem will be solved by changing REDIRECT TO URL to some external other internal url (company's)?

Thanks,

Sean
