I am interested in using SAP Screen Personas on Windows Tablets for on-line mobile usage within a Maintenance Plant / Manufacturing Plant running ECC.

I assume there would be no problem using a Windows 8 Pro Tablet, but I wonder has anyone tried it ? And can you get a mainly touch rather than keyboard look and feel from the Personas ?

However I wonder if Personas will work on the Metro app based Windows 8 RT Tablets? presumably not.

Please share if you are able, thanks in advance

Hi Experts,

Dear Friends,

We are not able to use the open office functionalities in ECC 6.0

Here is what is happening:

We try to download any output from a standard transaction using "List --> Export --> Spreadsheet and select 'Star office 8 Calc / Openoffice.org 2.0 Calc".

At the pop-up, we store the file at a specific path, with name abc.

Next, we get a pop-up "text-import -abc.ods" where we need to select the character set etc.

Whatever the comibnation of selections we use on this pop-up, we end up with a file opened with html code on it.

Please let us know what could be the problem - version problem or configuration problem or what else. We are using openoffice.org 2.4.

Advance Thanks...

I see the saprfc.ini entries in Informatica server to connect to SAP server are as below:

RFC_TRACE=1

DEST=INFALEFD102

TYPE=R

PROGID=INFALEFD1

GWHOST=nxsdxq03

GWSERV=sapgw01

RFC_TRACE=1

From SAP I see below are the server details:

How could re-check that the above entries are correct or not.

Summary

How to implement the Single-sign on with Kerberos using SAPGUI for JAVA 7.00,

Install Kerberos in OSX

To start to use Single-sign On (SSO) in Mac environments we need install the Kerberos/Seclude library in our system.

If you don’t have installed ,you can download from :   http://db.tt/IclHWMLV

This TAR file have 2 files

• sncgssec.dyld for PowerPC (Secude framework must already be installed!)
• sncgssk5.dyld for Universal

Select the better library for you and rename to sncgss.dyld , then copy to “/usr/local/lib” or “/usr/lib” directory. If you want use another directory, you have to set the SNC_LIB environment variable to the location of the library.

   i.e. export SNC_LIB=/mnt/server/lib/sncgss.dyld (for bash)

or set the user environment via file "~/.MacOSX/environment.plist" (see Developer Connection Technical QA 1067 and Property List Editor Application which comes with the Developer Tools)

Configure Kerberos

If you work like consultant, usually you don’t include your MAC in the client domain, for use SSO you only need type your password the first time when you logon, and then you have SSO until the ticket expire.

You need to setup the krb5.conf file in /etc with the follow lines :

0. [logging]
   default = FILE:/var/log/krb5libs.log
   kdc = FILE:/var/log/krb5kdc.log
1. admin_server = FILE:/var/log/kadmind.log

[libdefaults]

ticket_lifetime = 24000
default_realm = SUB.DOMAIN.NET

default_tkt_enctypes = des-cbc-crc des-cbc-md5

default_tgs_enctypes = des-cbc-crc des-cbc-md5

 

[realms]

SUB.DOMAIN.NET = {
kdc = server_hostname.sub.domain.net

admin_server = server_hostname.sub.domain.net

default_domain = sub.domain.net
}

[domain_realm]
.sub.domain. = SUB.DOMAIN.NET

server_hostname.sub.domain.net = SUB.DOMAIN.NET

 

 

Configure Sap Logon

First of all, you need to configure your SAP Logon, in this example we configure the guimsg.txt in the preference panel with file:/Library/Preferences/SAP/guimsg.txt,

 

ELD : /M/server_hostname/S/3601 

 

Click in New

Click in the drop box of System and select ELD

 

The SAPGUI show the Group/Servers for Load balance, select the right option and click Security

 

 

 

 

In the Security TAB you see the SNC Name of the server, click in “Enable Secure Network Communication” and Save.

 

 

 

When you try to logon, the system ask your DOMAIN password

 

Now you can start to use the SSO

We have some users where the auto-complete(History) is turned on, but now working.  We have tried to reinstall the GUI.  This did not help.

Has anyone experienced this and have a resolution?

SAP GUI Front End Installer terminates during the installation startup from the SAP Installation Server.

If the workstation does not meet the requirements, the frontend installer program terminates when you Install the package from the installation server.   The NwSAPSetup Log does not explain what are the requirements are missing. 

Here's what you can do to find out the problem.

Launch (Double click) the installer file without any parameters on the workstation to see what are the requirements causing the installation program termination.

See the screenshot for inforamtion.

To continue with the installation....take out the components from the Installer/Package that you don't need or fullfil the requirements and proceed with the installation.

Thanks

Hallo,

We are planning to install SAP GUI 7.30 on Windows 7 clients with Office 2010.

Now we have the problem that starting RRMX not connects to BW (BW 7.0; BI_CONT 7.03). We need to logon twice.

Installing an SAP GUI 720 works fine.

An check with SAPBExC (version 40) resulst in two red files: SAP.connector.dll and SAP.connector.RFC.dll

Copying ths files in the BI-Directory on client will result in an green SAPBExC-Check but not in an connected RRMX.

SDN Wiki http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/x/CIENDw and http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/x/d4DwCg describes installing the GUI 720.

But 720 works fine, installing 730 in an similar way leads in an disconnected RRMX.

Any hints on this problem?

Thanx

Gerhard

Over the last few weeks, we have posted a selection of How To guides showing how you can use SAP Screen Personas to solve typical productivity issues. Most of these How To guides target SAP Screen Personas users who already have some experience with the product. Starting out with these advanced scripting tutorials might be overwhelming for some new users.

So, if you are new to Personas, and you want to personalize and simply your own experience with the SAP GUI screen, and you do not know how to get started, this document might be exactly what you were looking for.

Our first recommendation is to start with the first screen that you see when accessing your SAP system - the SAP Easy Access menu. There are several ways to change the screens to meet your needs. When you modify this screen with Personas, we recommend that you list all the transactions that you need to do on the corresponding SAP system and make them easily accessible from the start screen.

For example:

I, as a user on our internal demo system, need a cockpit that helps me to provide support to end-users.

So, I need to support the following main scenarios.

• Somebody needs help with the NWBC integration, so we need to go into PFCG
• A new user is required in cloud demo landscape, so we need to open the Netweaver Cloud Admin UI
• Something is wrong with an existing user, so we go into SU01D and check the user
• We also watch the SAP GUI space on SCN to see if somebody needs help with Personas.
• Last but not least, somebody reaches out to us and ask for help with a flavor in transaction XYZ

The following video shows how to convert the SAP Easy Access Menu into the Personas Support Cockpit.

Step-by-step:

1. create a copy of Basic View
2. Simplify and beautify the existing screen
   1. remove all elements of the screen that are not needed
   2. add a background image
   3. add an additional image as a header
   4. add a label to the execute button
   5. rearrange the transaction code field and images
3. Add additional buttons
   1. add a launch button to jump directly into PFCG (to maintain roles)
   2. add a launch button to open a web page (Admin UI for our demo environment)
   3. add a script button to do a user lookup (leave it empty for now)
4. save and exit
5. populate the script button
   1. switch to basic view to record a script
   2. start the script recorder
   3. execute the sequence of steps that you always execute
   4. stop the script recorder
   5. go back to the flavor and go back into edit-mode
   6. add a custom text field
   7. upload the script and make it dynamic using copy/paste actions
6. finalize the screen
   1. add another launch button to open a menu entry (to logout)
   2. change colors of all buttons
   3. add html viewer showing the latest discussions in SCN in the SAP GUI space
7. save and exit
8. go back into production mode
   1. show the html viewer content
   2. demonstrate the script button
9. switch to other flavors to show other examples

As usual, if you want to learn more or discuss anything related to how to make your SAP GUI screens more functional using SAP Screen Personas, please start a discussion in the SAP GUI space on SCN.

First, what is the recommended version of SAPGUI which will run in Mac OS 10.4.11 (Tiger). Would it be SAPGUI 7.1? And secondly, where can I download a version which will work in Tiger running on an Intel-based Mac?

I would be so grateful for anyone's input  : )

Where can I find the list of descriptions for the new revisions of SAP Gui For Java 7.30? The download section for Windows list a description for each fix for every patch release under info. Where are the ones for SAP for Java?

Thanks Larry

Hi,

We are upgrading our ECC system and going to SAP GUI 7.30. Testing has confirmed that if a user mistyped their password, on the next successful logon the 7.30 GUI automatically issues a "failed logon attempts" message. Applications would like this message disabled before we go live.

I've looked at note 1580875, which is for 7.31. That note appears to talk about options in the Signature Design theme. I can replicate the message on my system, I confirmed that I am not using the Signature Design theme, and the Signature Design theme in 7.30 does not appear to have the referenced options. The note also shows the parameters should be included as of Support Pack SAPKB73102. We are at SAPKB73105.

Is anyone aware of a way to turn off this message?

TIA,

Russ

Hello,

I have an ongoing issue regarding the history data in SAP GUI. First off all, I'm a Windows technician so my knowledge in SAP is very limited.

Our customer reported that the "auto-fill/auto-complete" function in SAP stopped working. It was fully functional for about 10-20 minutes but after some time the data disappears.

In SAP GUI the history-folder is set to C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\SAP\SAP GUI\History

History in SAP GUI is set to "ON"

Low Connection mode is "OFF"

What's interesting is that if we rename "SAP" in registry under HKCU\Software, and rename "History" under C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\SAP\SAP GUI\, it starts working, but only for about 10-20 minutes... after that the history data has disappeard again.

Our setup is:

Windows 7 (32-bit)

SAP GUI 7.20

Does anyone have an idea of what could be the problem here, or any possible solution?

David

Hello all!

I use SAP GUI 7.30 patch 3 installed on Windows 7 32bit and I got problem with history, it doesn`t work.

I see *.mdb file in %user%\AppData\Roaming\SAP\SAP GUI\History . It`s always created after deleting.

In traces I`ve found records about errors:

CSapHistoryDb::GetExitPoint: Microsoft Access Database Engine can`t find table or query "localtabchain".

I`ve already checked all referencing SAP notes about fixing MDAC and so on. But Windows 7 doesn`t have tools for MDAC repair, the file is system and locked.

Please, help!

Sergey.
