Defining Direct Logon Options

Direct options set up a direct connection between the client and the R/3 application server. A direct connection is a client/server connection, where the client contains the DDO libraries, and the server is the SAP R/3 application server.

Define direct options only when the server is R/3, the server is an external application server, and you are not using load balancing.

*  To define direct options:

  1. In the Logon dialog box, click Direct.

  2. Enter the requested information, and click OK.
