SAP GUI LOGON ISSUE

[Former Member]

Greeting Gurus,

Whilst trying some BASIS general transactions with user logon settings, which I don’t remember, now it does not allow me to log on using my SAP user id

I get a message “Log on with a dialog user”

Could you please explain why I have this problem and whats the solution.

Thanks

It looks like your user is defined as a background user hence you cannot logon through SAPGUI, because for that you need a dialog user. Just change your user to be a dialog user instead of background. That should solve the problem.

Hi Rasig,

the follow link from the sap online help describe the user types and the effects:

To change the user type, please see my reply above for the transaction SU01.

Kindly regards,

Hi Stefan,

that link was informative, i would ask the system administrator to change my account as dialog using SU01, as i cant log into the system.

Thanks for your time.

Hi,

go to transaction SU01 and check the value User Type in the tab Logon data

The value should be Dialog.

Kindly regards,

Stefan
