Manual 2 · Chapter 3

Connecting KoonScan to SAP (the wizard)

Applies to KoonScan version 1.1.1Download this manual (PDF)

The setup wizard opens by itself after the installation. It has eight steps; at the top you see where you are (for example "2 / 8"). Nothing is saved until the last step.

Setup code (only if it is asked for)#

The wizard asks for a setup code if you open it in another way, for example through KoonScan administration or in another browser. You do not have to type the code:

Do you want to type the code yourself after all? The code is in C:\KoonScan\setup-code.txt. That file is for administrators only: double-clicking does not work ("Access is denied").

1. Type the 6 digits in the box 1.
2. Click Continue 2.

Step 1 · Welcome#

1. Click Set up with SAP 1.

Step 2 · SAP#

1. At Service Layer address 1 type the address from your data sheet. Often the right address is already there.
2. Click Fetch certificate 2.

3. A fingerprint 3 appears: a long series of letters and numbers. Ask your SAP partner whether it is correct.
4. Is it correct? Switch on the toggle Fingerprint checked: trust this certificate 4.

5. At Company database (CompanyDB) 5 type the database name from your data sheet. Mind the upper and lower case.
6. At 6 fill in the SAP user and the Password.
7. Click Test connection 7. After a few seconds it says in green "Connected to …" with the name of your company.
8. Click Next 8.

Step 3 · Companies#

1. Do you use one SAP company (usually the case)? Then click Next 1. (If you work with more companies, add them with Add company; each company is tested.)

Step 4 · Database#

1. Leave Database file 1 selected. KoonScan then keeps its data in one file per company in C:\KoonScan\data; no SQL Server needed.
2. At Database file 2 it says KScan. Leave it as it is: the file becomes C:\KoonScan\data\KScan.db. (With more companies, each company gets its own name, for example KScan_NL.)

3. Click Test 3.
4. It says "Database KScan.db will be created when saving" 4 (or "already exists"). That is fine.
5. Click Next 5.

Step 5 · HTTPS (for handheld scanners and phones)#

1. Click Create certificate 1. (After that the button is called "Create again".)

2. You see the Address for the devices and a QR code 2. Write the address down; you need it in chapter 7.
3. Do you use phones with a browser (not the Android app)? Then click Download scan-ca.crt 3 and save the file.
4. Click Next 4.

Step 6 · First administrator (you)#

1. At Employee 1 choose your own name from the list (the list comes from SAP).
2. At PIN 2 type your PIN (4 to 8 digits).
3. Type the same PIN again at Repeat PIN 3.
4. Click Next 4.

Step 7 · Licence#

1. Do you have a licence key? Paste it in the box 1 (right-click → Paste).
2. Click Check 2: you see who the key is for and until when. Then click Next.
3. No key yet? Click Later 3. KoonScan then works as the free version (only Stock); you enter the key later (chapter 6).

Step 8 · Save#

1. Read the summary and click Save and start 1.
2. Wait. It says "KoonScan is restarting". After about half a minute the login screen appears by itself.
