Synchronize your SAP account passwords

Synchronize your SAP account passwords

Do you have SAP accounts across multiple Clients within the same environment? This program will save a lot of hassle within a development or test environment. It copies the password for a nominated user account, i.e. from the current client, to all other clients that account resides in. The program was written in v.4.0B.

* clients in the same environment.
