Logging on to SAP
Since your college is a member of the SAP University Alliance, a University Competency Center (UCC) provides
the SAP server-side software installations needed for course material. However, there is an SAP GUI client-side
software1 that must be installed on the computer you work on. Check with the instructor for download locations if
you want to install this on your own computer.
In order to use ABAP Workbench you'll need the following information:
server name: _______________________
client:

___________

username:

__________

password:

__________ (Typically, this is initially set to '123456')

Open the SAP Front End\SAP Logon.

Select the server name and click Log On.

Enter the client number, your username, and

password. Hit the ENTER key or click the
checkmark.
Note: The checkmark will often
referred to as enter in future instructions.

The first time you log on you will be

prompted to change your password.
The password is case sensitive ('abc' is
NOT the same as 'Abc').

1 There is a web-based alternative to the GUI client-side software but there will be some variations in the screens. Check
with your instructor if you want to try using the web-based interface. Examples shown throughout the lessons will be
based on the client-side SAP GUI. You will have to figure out the variations in screens.

There must be at least 6 characters.

Do not start the password with a number
but after the first character, letters or
numbers are OK.
