Installing the Bot

Installing the Bot

A link to the bot software should have already been supplied so you can simply download the folder on to the machine where you want to install the bot. The contents should be as per the example below:

The config file can now be maintained as per the Config File Maintenance section.

Example Screen-shot

*Because SAPGUI needs to know the location of the bot executable (see here) it is important that you don’t create “version-specific” folders for the bot software. Instead, create a central folder on each local machine for the bot software. When upgrading the bot software, if you want to keep the old version then you can copy it to another folder before upgrading the files in the central folder.

Setup for Internet Explorer

The following setup is required to ensure that the bot is trusted in Internet Explorer with the settings required as below:

1. Go into IE, go to Settings -> Internet options
2. Go to Security tab
3. Trusted Sites
4. Click on Sites
5. Add new entry “about:security_saplogon.exe”
6. Untick checkbox “Require https for this zone”
