Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to SAP community. 

 

In the context of SAP (Systems, Applications, and Products) software, particularly related to the SAP GUI (Graphical User Interface), there are different configuration files that manage system connection information and landscape definitions:

  1. SAPUILandscape.xml:

    • This file typically contains the user's personalized connection settings and landscape information for logging into SAP systems. It is often utilized in scenarios where individual user preferences and custom connections need to be stored.
    • These settings are specific to the particular user and can include customized entries such as aliases and descriptions for SAP systems that the user frequently accesses.
    • The file is generally found in the user's profile directory (C:\Users\%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\SAP\Common), making it easier for each user to have their own tailored connection configurations without affecting others.
  2. SAPUILandscapeGlobal.xml:

    •  SAPUILandscapeGlobal.xml is by default in the same directory of SAPUILandscape.xml file and contains other necessary data, typically information for <Messageservers> and <Routers>, as local configuration files. Check SAP Note 2075150 - "SAP Logon (Pad) 740: New format of configuration files as of SAP GUI for Windows 7.40" for further information. 
  3. SAPUILandscapeCore.xml:

    •  This file is used when the admin want to provide an administrative core configuration file that can be supplied and set only by an administrator instead of your users. Check SAP Note 2175351 - SAP Logon (Pad): Create/distribute the administrative core configuration file in the SAP UI landscape format.

In summary, the SAPUILandscape.xml and SAPUILandscapeGlobal.xml automatically created under the user profile. In case it is desired to distribute it to multiple users, SAPUILandscape.xml is generally the one to be shared across the organization. The SAP Note 2075073 described all the process to distribute the file on server. Last but not least, the SAPUILandscapeCore.xml is also used as a server configuration file, however it can be set  only by administrator.
