Universal Clients for Accessing SAP Systems

SAP GUI is SAP's universal client for accessing SAP functionality in SAP applications such as - SAP ERP, SAP Business Suite (SAP CRM, SAP SCM and SAP PLM), SAP Business Intelligence and so on. SAP GUI functions like a browser. It gets information from the SAP server like what, where, when and how, to display contents in its window. All members of the SAP GUI family have unique attributes that make them especially suited for different user environments. SAP GUI comes in the following three different flavors:

SAP GUI for Windows
SAP GUI for Windows is an implementation especially designed for the Windows operating system, providing a Windows-like user experience and integration with other applications, based on OLE interfaces or ActiveX controls.

SAP GUI for the Java Environment
SAP GUI for the Java environment is a unified SAP frontend for multiple platforms. It is based on a platform-independent architecture and Java implementation. As a major benefit, it provides access to SAP applications that are based on Control-Enabling and therefore used to be reserved for Windows users in the past. Please, note that SAP GUI for Java is also available on Windows.

SAP GUI for HTML
SAP GUI for HTML automatically maps the screen elements in SAP transactions to HTML using HTML Business functions available within the SAP Internet Transaction Server. A web browser is sufficient to access almost all transactions. Please note: Since SAP GUI for HTML is an application running on the ITS, you find corresponding information on the ITS page.

When it comes to SAP GUI Net weaver Handling, There are some points that a beginner should be knowing for a better understanding and handling of the GUI:

• Here is the way your SAP GUI will look like initially when the you start it.

• Now, we will discuss how, we can import all the connections/configurations of the systems in the SAP Logon so that you can logon to any required system of your choice.

To do this, we need "ini" files which are already having all the server/system configurations available or required. We need to copy these ini files to a particular path. To know this path, we can go to settings of the net weaver and check the path of the configuration files as shown below:

Go to options-->SAP Logon Options-->Local Configuration Files.

The above image shows the path of the local configuration files. Copy this path and paste in the address bar of your computer, there you can paste your INI files and restart the Net weaver Logon pad. You can see all the system connections as shown in the first image.

Now you can logon to any landscape system to do the monitoring, check reports and many more.

• If you want to change the language of the SAP logon, then you can go to options-->sap logon options-->general and you can chose any other language you like.

• If you have configuration information of any system, then you may create a new connection.

Just enter the details of the configuration of any server in the SAP Logon as shown below. Remember i could be a application server/Group conneaction depending upon the requirement of the conneaction (that will be specified in the configuration details like application server string, system ID etc.

Click on next and finish. After that a connection will be created Just double click and login to use the system.

Please share and mark it as helpful if you find it good and helpful. Will be coming back with the GUI issues, which are general but cause issues while handling the GUI and BEX Analyzer.

Thank You..!!

As announced earlier this month, SAP Screen Personas 3.0 is now General Available (GA):

http://scn.sap.com/community/gui/blog/2015/07/06/sap-screen-personas-30-is-generally-available-including-service-pack-1.

This undoubtedly represents a great achievement for SAP's overall UX strategy, as SAP Screen Personas 3.0 is an incredibly powerful toolkit that enables organizations to simplify their Dynpro screens (SAP GUI for HTML) and to improve productivity through personalization. The easier-than-ever editing and the very straightforward look and feel will transform the way companies do business. Our primary goal is to run simple, and SAP Screen Personas 3.0 fits smoothly into this framework.

We would never have reached such an important goal without the fundamental contribution from you, our customers and partners, who have accepted to use the product during ramp-up phase and during our usability tests. Your feedback helped us understand the users' needs while having them work with the product first hand. You have given us precious feedback to further improve SAP Screen Personas. This is why we are constantly asking you for your opinions and feedback on our product - your ideas really matter to us, as they allow us to grow mature and be a bit better every single day.

As we had announced a couple of months ago: http://scn.sap.com/community/gui/blog/2015/04/16/3-reasons-why-to-sign-up-now-for-testing-sap-screen-personas-30, we held usability test sessions at ASUG in Orlando, Florida from May 5 to May 7. Now we want to share what we have obtained and the consequent actions that we have taken.

Study Goals

As already mentioned, we wanted to get feedback from testers about the usability of the SAP Screen Personas 3.0 HTML with the new Slim Editor version. The new Slim Editor has changes included that we made based on the test feedback we got from the TechEd usability testing in Berlin in Nov 2014.

Test Setup and Preparation

Each test session was one hour long, with one tester, one observer, the moderator and a note taker.

We had a total of 13 testers and 8 observers. They came from very diverse backgrounds and had different business roles. Their knowledge about SAP Screen Personas was also very diverse: some had taken the openSAP course on SAP Screen Personas,

https://open.sap.com/courses/sps1/items/5qylb83IuK9YM8QvWk00O4/quiz_submission/291GF4q7QLywM34fYGXXfZ

some were ramp-up customers and were more familiar with it, while others had barely heard its name. Therefore all testers were asked whether they knew what SAP Screen Personas is, and those who had no experience with the tool got a short verbal description, but no demo was shown.

How the Test worked

We assigned the testers a fictional organizational role to give them context and simulate a real life situation. We explained that their goal was to implement SAP Screen Personas in their organization.

Each tester got 9 test tasks with increasing level of complexity. A description of what to do with the Slim Editor was provided, but no indications on how to do it. The tasks ranged from building a flavor– a specific personalization for a particular SAP transaction in a specific system – and choosing a theme for the flavor, to modifying dashboards and merging tabs.

Testers were asked to “think aloud” as they went through the test and were closely watched as they proceeded step by step. Their reactions to the tasks and their behavior during the test were recorded.

At the end of each test we asked them a few wrap-up questions about what they had liked, what they had not liked or understood, what they would have done differently, what they would have liked to see in the future and whether they were planning to use SAP Screen Personas. We also handed out a post-test survey.

Results

All testers demonstrated great interest in the product, and were enthusiastic to participate in the test. The demand was so high that we offered an additional test session. All testers answered our wrap-up questions and 11 of them filled out the survey.

What is good: the Strengths of SAP Screen Personas

We received extremely positive feedback on SAP Screen Personas, and all testers declared to be very satisfied with the tool:

• They were amazed by the ease of use, even if they had no experience with the product beforehand;
• They all understood that profound knowledge of what to change is required before starting to build flavors, but were pleased with the fact that the tool has everything to modify SAP GUI for HTML transactions;
• They appreciated the possibility to create flavors for specific user groups, for example new employees, leading to a very fast learning curve with less data on the screen.

What is even better: the Weaknesses that no longer exist

What has proved really important for us to grow is critical feedback, as it gives us an idea of what to improve on SAP Screen Personas to make it work even better. Testers raised a few minor usability issues with the tool, together with suggestions on how to solve them. We took their statements and started working from there to improve the product. We took immediate action and solved most difficulties so that they no longer exist. Some examples are:

• There was a confusing and superfluous checkbox when creating a new flavor asking to base it on the original screen, which was the only available option --> we have eliminated the checkbox (see Picture 4);
• There was no tooltip on the “Flavor Gallery” icon and most users did not understand the meaning of the icon --> we have added a tooltip;
• The “Pin” Icon was not intuitive enough --> we made more clear and helpful also for the visually impaired

Constantly working for you

As customer satisfaction with an easy and pleasant user experience is our primary goal, we keep working on improving SAP Screen Personas 3.0. More advancements based on customer feedback are to come in the near future, aiming to an even more powerful and efficient simplification tool.

For example, we are planning to add two important modifications very soon:

• Objects on the screen would no longer overlay each other and will appear as stacked (Picture 5);
• The “Save”, “Exit” and “Save and Exit” icons would be accompanied by explanatory text

We are planning to offer further usability testing sessions in the future and take customers’ suggestions like we have already done. We will keep you posted and you will be informed of any upcoming sessions.

We can be proud of our successes, but we are always ready to learn and grow. This is the best way we can be there for you and allow you to really run simple.

Keep following us!

Problem with SAP GUI for Java

Few days ago I came across an issue, that I couldn't open MS Office files via SAP GUI for Java for Mac OS X. This behavior I caught in SCASE and SCASEPS transactions, but maybe it also applies to other transactions (although I wasn't successful to get the same error in SBWP speaking of attachments).

So, returning to SCASE and SCASEPS transactions - when I tried to open MS Word file, attached to Case, I received error message (SBDV 071) "No temporary directory available for temporary storage".

Firstly, I thought that the trouble is in SAP GUI Preferences for Applications, where Download and Upload directories are defined. But any changes is these settings did no effect to the problem. Seems, that this setting has no impact on my issue.

So, secondly, I started debugging source code to get the place, where I receive message mentioned above (SBDV 071). I found that the problem was in results of CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES. It tried to get the value for parameter TEMP and it returned "space". Looking through SAP manuals (Link), I discovered, that requested by system variable would receive "space" value only if Operating System didn't have such variable.

My third step was to look through MAC OS X 10.11 environment variables. To do it one needs to start terminal and use "env" command to list defined variables.

I found that there was no TEMP variable, although there was TMPDIR variable, which is the same, as it seems to me. After discovery I decided to add TEMP variable to my Mac OS X configuration and see the results. To skip few details I need to say that the results were positive - I was able to open MS Word document from SAP as it was downloaded in background to specified folder and opened by MS Word for Mac without any additions clicks from me.

How To Set Environment Variables in Mac OS X

As many people are using different versions of Mac OS X, I'm writing down information for 10.6 - 10.11 versions.

OS X 10.6, 10.7

To set an environment variable, enter the following command:

• defaults write ~/.MacOSX/environment variable "value"

To find out which environment variables have been set, enter the following command:

• defaults read ~/.MacOSX/environment

OS X 10.8, 10.9, 10.10

To set an environment variable, enter the following command:

• launchctl setenv variable "value"

To find out if an environment variable is set, use the following command:

• launchctl getenv variable

To clear an environment variable, use the following command:

• launchctl unsetenv variable

Issue:

SAP GUI History (backspace) for fields is not getting saved.

Pre-Requisites:

• - Close all your SAP sessions including your SAP logon pad

Resolution/Procedure:

• Go to Windows Start > All Programs > SAP Front End > SAP GUI Configuration (1)
• In your GUI Configuration options click on ‘Local Data’ folder (2) and then ‘History’ (3)
• Change history status to ‘OFF’ (4) and click on ‘Apply’ (7)
• Click on history status back to ‘ON’ (5) and click on ‘Apply’ (7)
• Click ‘Clear History’ (6) button and finally click ‘OK ’ (8) to close this window

• Now navigate to C:\users\<User name>\AppData\Roaming\SAP\SAP GUI\History (9)
  • If you do not see AppData folder then you will have to enable show hidden folders in the windows folder option menu (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hidden-files#show-hidden-files=windows-7)
• Here you will find MDB file which is usually named ‘SAPHistory<username>.mdb (10)
• Delete this file

Now this should take care of the history not getting saved. Reopen SAP GUI and try it out!

Special Thanks to my friend Amritpal Flora

Hi all,

SAP GUI for Java 7.40 rev 5 is now available for download.

Enhancements and New Features

• Support for New OS Versions:
  • OS X 10.11 (El Capitan)
• Blue Chrystal Theme:
  • The background colors of tabstrip and other containers have been changed to better visualize the grouping of the screen.
• Input History:
  • The values of the history list are now sorted by "last used". (Due to technical reasons, this is limited only to values used while running this new version.)

  Bugfixes

• Blue Chrystal Theme:
  • DropDown ListBoxes with highlight property set have been displayed using wrong colors.
• Corbu Theme:
  • There has been an issue with the disabled state of the "new session" icon in the toolbar in 7.40 rev 4. This caused broken logon screen for back-ends supporting the "new session" button when not using SNC. This also affected Signature Design or High Contrast theme, in case the "Use Corbu-style icons" option was active.
• Signature Design:
  • When using a non-default scheme, several components did not adjust their colors appropriately.
  • The toolbar in modal dialogs has been rendered incorrectly.
• DataProvider:
  • Downloading files with mass data including encoded characters in their file name did not work properly. Function module GUI_DOWNLOAD was affected.
• Scripting:
  • Pressing a toggle button in the toolbar control by scripting did not work.

For details please refer to the manual (chapter "6.2 Release Notes and System Requirements" and "2. Installation") of the PlatinManual and SAP note 2059424.

Please use Java 8 Update 40 or newer, because some known issues related to the Html control component have been addressed.

Planning information

SAP GUI for Java 7.30 is no longer supported. Therefore please upgrade to SAP GUI for Java 7.40.

For migrating your landscape configuration, please refer to the SAP UI Landscape Configuration Guide.

Best regards

Rolf-Martin Wörsinger

P.S. For feedback and questions, please post a new thread.

In case you want to report an issue, preferably create a support message on component BC-FES-JAV.

Hi all,

SAP GUI for Java 7.40 rev 4 is now available for download.

Enhancements and New Features

• Support for New OS Versions:
  • Fedora 22
  • Windows 10
• Localization: Texts in dialogs coming from the Java runtime like confirmation and options dialogs are now translated the supported languages.
• Modal Dialogs:
  • Sometimes the buttons in the toolbar of modal dialogs do not fit into the modal dialog with the size set by the backend. As a result buttons are cut off. Now the width of the dialog is increased to no longer truncate the toolbar content (except in those cases, where changing the dialog size would cause side effects).
• Table Control:
  • It is now possible to open a context menu on the title and header area.

  Bugfixes

• Rendering:
  • The usage of a faster drawing API of Java introduced in 7.40 rev 3 has caused some artefacts in various environments depending on the OS resp. Linux distribution, graphics card and driver. A workaround has been implemented without falling back to the slower performance of previous releases.
• Enhanced Search:
  • While using the enhanced search, it could happen that the same text typed before was filled into another input field as well.
• Signature Design:
  • Highlighted text in some places was hard to read because of using a wrong foreground color when a scheme other then the default was used.
• TextEdit Control:
  • The sequence of ABAP calls SET_TEXT_AS_R3TABLE, GET_TEXT_AS_R3TABLE and again SET_TEXT_AS_R3TABLE in DEFINE code for the control CL_GUI_TEXTEDIT resulted in displaying an empty text.
• Tree Control:
  • In a special situation, an exception has caused the control to no longer repaint and react to user input.
• Blue Crystal:
  • Checkmark icons in menues have not been displayed.
  • Menu separators have been missing.

For details please refer to the manual (chapter "6.2 Release Notes and System Requirements" and "2. Installation") of the PlatinManual and SAP note 2059424.

Please use Java 8 Update 40 or newer, because some known issues related to the Html control component have been addressed.

SAP GUI for Java 7.30 is no longer supported. Therefore please upgrade to SAP GUI for Java 7.40.

SAP GUI for Windows is an implementation especially designed for the Windows operating system, providing a Windows-like user experience and integration with other applications, based on OLE interfaces or ActiveX controls.

SAP GUI for the Java Environment
SAP GUI for the Java environment is a unified SAP frontend for multiple platforms. It is based on a platform-independent architecture and Java implementation. As a major benefit, it provides access to SAP applications that are based on Control-Enabling and therefore used to be reserved for Windows users in the past. Please, note that SAP GUI for Java is also available on Windows.

SAP GUI for HTML
SAP GUI for HTML automatically maps the screen elements in SAP transactions to HTML using HTML Business functions available within the SAP Internet Transaction Server. A web browser is sufficient to access almost all transactions. Please note: Since SAP GUI for HTML is an application running on the ITS, you find corresponding information on the ITS page.

General Information
Frontend Network Requirements (SMP Login required!)
Distributed landscapes today lead to the fact that an increasing number of users connect to a central system from dispersed sites with varying degrees of available bandwidth. As a consequence, user access is through local area network (LAN) and wide area network WAN (dial-up, frame relay, Internet, etc.). This paper contains a description of SAP's frontend characteristics from both a LAN and a WAN perspective.
Please note that this paper does not discuss server-to-server traffic or printing.
SAP GUI Technical Infrastructure
The purpose of this guide is to give you an understanding of the different SAP GUI types, their specific properties and how they communicate with the SAP system. Also, it explains the performance requirements of the infrastructure and describes trouble-shooting options.
