Change Installation Server

[Former Member]

Hi,

May I know how to change the source of the installation server?

Let's say the sapgui installation server is set up on machineA. Then a failure happens on machineA, another sapgui installation server is set up on machineB.

my question:

1) what happen to those computers that are earlier installed using the installation server from machineA?

2) how to let these computers get updates from machineB?

thanks

regards,

xinlin

install on 2 machines. use DNS aliases.

then, if one fails, map the alias to second server.

It looks that this option is now in file:

C:\Program Files\SAP\SapSetup\setup\SAL\SapLogon.s8l

in part:

[InstServer]

SapSrcDir="..."

Is this only solution?

in SAPGUI 640 there is registry entry:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\SAP\SAPSetup\General /v InstServer /t REG_SZ /d

But where is that is SAPGUI710??

Thanks & Regards,

Tomislav.
