Cause

The software is not reading the saplogon.ini / SAPGUILandscape.xml file, which contains the SAP systems that the software will read to populate your systems list.

1) Launch your SAP Logon Pad.
2) Click the button in the top left corner, and then click Options.

3) Select SAP Logon Options from the menu.

4) Select Configuration Files or Local Configuration Files, which ever is populated in your system

You will find the path to your saplogon.ini file or SAPGUILandscape.xml in the Connection string, depending on your SAP GUI Version
For SAP GUI 720 and SAP GUI 730 and SAP GUI 740 you should expect an saplogon.ini file
For SAP GUI 740 with NWBC or higher you should expect to see an SAPGUILandscape.xml

Next, direct the Winshuttle software to the logon file:

Winshuttle Version 11.x / 12.x / 20.x
1) Open up the Winshuttle software and click Options.
2) Select SAP Settings
3) Paste file path including file name and extension Logon file, or browse for file using the Browse button.

You should now be able to see your list of SAP systems.
