Bot Maintenance

When installing for the first time or changing the Central system where Testimony is operating, each bot’s main config file will need to be updated.

To build the config file that allows the Bot to connect to the SAP central system where Testimony is deployed, most of the information will be on the sap logon pad but you will also require the bot users logon and password and the client where Testimony is being operated from. Each element for the bot is as below:

To access the config file go to the bot folder as below and right click on the config file selecting the option to edit.

The config file should appear as below:

Bot Configuration – Specialisations

SAP GUI Location

The bot may be running in an environment where SAP’s SAPGui.exe files are not in the standard location. The logfile on startup will report it as:

A new entry in the config.xml will allow an alternative path to be specified.
<SAPGuiPath>C:\Programme\SAP\FrontEnd\SapGui</SAPGuiPath>

Passwords

If your organisation’s internal policy will not allow the password to be saved into the config file then you can remove the line below in the config file and this will prompt the password to be entered each time the Bot is started.

<Password>password</Password>

Message Server and logon Groups

If the central system uses a message server and logon group then the config file can be updated with these three elements below:

<MessageServerService>MessageServer</MessageServerService>
<MessageServerHost>MessageServerHost</MessageServerHost>
<LogonGroup>LogonGroup</LogonGroup>

*Note if you use the Message Server and logon group the Gateway Host and Service below must be removed

<GatewayHost>GatewayHost</GatewayHost>
<GatewayService>sapgwxx</GatewayService>
