SAP Tips: How to show the system name in your logon pad GUI sessions - Eursap (2024)

You are more than likely going to be using more than one SAP system, or at least you will be logged on to different versions (e.g. development system, test system, live system etc).
The problem here is always how to know, when you toggle between the various systems, how to remember which system each window relates to.
The answer is simple! Open up your SAP GUI options as below:
