Hi,
I have recently moved over to a new pc, and I have exported the my SAP GUI settings using the path on the SAP Logon Pad - SAP GUI Options - Restore and Cleanup, and then Export. When I try to import that file on the new PC, I get the error "Could not expand the ZIP Archive file. Process cannot continue".
How do I get past this issue. I noticed that the ZIP file has a Password, but no idea what that password is. I checked the SAP Document Version: 8.00 PL04 – 2023-08-03 - SAP GUI administration document, page 9, and it states "The compressed file is protected by a user-specific password to prevent unintentional transfer to another user and, thus, to guarantee the consistency of the export." What is this password? How do I get the SAP GUI migration file imported?
It's for sure that the manual isn't clear about this option, and the programming choices that SAP made. The "user-specific" password is something internal related with the username you are logged in.
It's not supposed to open the ZIP file by any external program. The ZIP is only to be used to be used with the SAP GUI import functionality.
The SAP manual doesn't say anything about different computers, only says about different users. Do you use the same username on this new machine that you used on the old one?
I never used this option, my preferred way to migrate profiles is to copy the XML files directly using the file system tools.
