Adding text to the SAP logon/login screen

Writing text to the SAP logon screen. This is very handy for identifying which SAP system the user is about to log onto, especially non production boxes. You can also warn them here of pending changes, updates or outages. Because it is up while they are typing in their user id and password, users can’t claim they missed the system message.

SAP icons like the stop sign and warning signs can also be displayed.

Details can be found in OSS note #205487

History in SAP front end

The history tab appears in the options tab under LocalData.

If it didn’t work, find the .mdb file like SAP_local*.mdb, the path of which should be available in the options tab under LocalData (Directory of local data).

It is always possible to delete the file, so that when the SAP frontend is restarted, it creates the file again and history is back again.

Please make sure to uncheck the enable low speed connection as the history won’t work if this was enabled.
