Accessing SAP GUI via terminal services

In my current project, it is proposed that all SAP development be done remotely via terminal services login to host machine. Does anuone have experience of this way of working? If so what problems were encountered (performance / response times?) and was this method of development successful?

Paul,
We did this for a short while for off hours development work and had to quit, but the reasons may be specific to us. We are only doing ABAP development.
1. Support. Developers would be disconnected (for what ever reason) then when reconnect the terminal server would open another session, taking another key, and potentially loosing unsaved code.
2. Debugger. The new debugger, as of ECC, really lends itself to a wide display or two screens, we were very limited to what display options we had by the terminal server (again this might be specific to the way the TS was setup here, but you might want to check)
As I mentioned ours was for off hours support, so we setup the developers the ability to remote desktop to their desktops through VPN.
Good Luck.
- Brian.

USB P1505 not printing properly via Terminal Services

I have problem printing to these printers via terminal services. Other pinters print fine but these guys either print intermittently or not at all. I have installed the latest drivers on the TS and the clients. Sometimes sessions will be created and jobs would just remain in the queue or take a very long time to print. They are the USB and not the N models.
Any ideas?
Win2k3 server
Win2k Pro/WinXP clients

The router is Zylex, the printer is an hp deskjet 3512. I first used the disk that came with the printer that did not work, so I uninstalled and downloaded off of this site thinking maybe it would be a more updated version. That did not work either. I have done all of the other troubleshooting that I have found on this site through other forums I unplugged the router, checked countless times to make sure the password and network were correct.
My main issue at this point in time is that it will not print properly at all. I dont know if I need to download something to make it work. I am a full time student, work full time, and have children. I need my printer to work when I hook it up to usb, I dont have time to for all of these problems that I have had with this printer. I am actually in need of something printed at this very moment and my library is closed which is where I have had to go and pay .25 a page to print anything. So Please help!!!!

Starting SAP GUI via Active X

HI,
I'm trying to find an example of starting the SAP GUI via ActiveX / OCX. I'd like the same functionality as provided by the Enterprise Portal but within a normal HTML page. I'd be interested in the HTML code as well as details regarding the passing of transaction code, etc.
Thanks.
Dick

Unfortuantely, the Current User registry key cannot be updated via SMS. From what I've seen& tested the registry settings can be pushed via a login GPO or login script, but due to our environment including contactors and consultants I still cannot get a high coverage rate.
If i do find a magic bullet - I'll report it here.
In the meantime, perhaps a SAP developer would bring this capability to the Installation Server - it allows us to tune & tweak the packages already. <hint hint> - Xmas is coming!

Error "Please use the Latest SAP GUI version" in service admin

Hello everyone,
I have successfully installed ITS 6.20 & We are using ECC 6.0, But when I try to logon to the Admin service. I gives an error message saying <b>"Please use the Latest SAP GUI version"</b>.Please help me solve this problem.
Regards
Subramanya

Hi,
several instances of ITS 6.20 have to be mapped either to
a) different TCP/IP ports or
b) if the same TCP/IP port should be used they have to have an individual hostname.
These settings have to be defined correctly in ItsRegistryWGATE.xml.
Please have a look at this thread for further information:
Re: How to register agates with the ADMIN instance
You could also search within this forum for the keyword "ItsRegistryWGATE.xml" or do a SAP Notes search to get more information.
Also please read the <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/44/211cc811f21a74e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm">ITS Administrator's Guide</a>

SAP Connectivity slow - Terminal Services

Dear ALL,
we have two Locations (A & B) & Main Server is placed at Location (A) and users from Location (B) connect through terminal Server (IBM Server) there are approximatly 6 users who connect at a time to terminal server, so what should be the RAM size of the Terminal Server.
As of now we have given 2GB RAM, But the performance is very Poor
Applications:
SAP 2007B & 4 ADD-ons
Thanks in Advance

Session control via terminal services

I have an application running like a dream using JSP and server side session control. One paricular user has an environment where all PCs are linux based and running a terminal service from a Microsoft SBS server.
These PCs are unable to maintain session when connection to the site.
Has anywone hit this problem before, is the any setting in the Microsoft to help this?
Thanks for your help

I have checked that cookies are enabled. I can
implement URL rewiting but I was hoping for a simple
solution without needing to change the software. As
all other users are not having a problem.Maintaining a session involves passing an identifier between the client and the server. The identifier can be maintained on the client as a cookie, or the web component can include the identifier in every URL that is returned to the client. So clearly for whatever reason this is not happening. You need to either fix your application so URL rewriting is supported or find out why cookies are not working properly for these clients.
I am not skilled in ternminal services and was hoping
there was some configuration that coulod be tweeked.Try a Microsoft forum

Accessing my website via Terminal

I need to access some files in my website via a SSH to change permissions on some files. I have a wee bit of experience playing with UNIX and the Terminal on my own machine but haven't done this sort of thing before. I don't even know how to begin to aim the Terminal at my website so I could put in an ID and password. Even direction to websites telling me how would be appreciated.

The system that supports your website would also have to be running a SSH server. One can also change permissions with ftp if a ftp server is being run.

Roles / rights for a technical ABAP user to access SAP Tables via code

Hy @all,
does anybody know which roles / rights a technical user must have to acess SAP Tables and read / write from or into it?
Are tey any basic roles?
kind regards
Micha

Please see note [382318|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/382318] for further information.
Additionally, if you would use it nevertheless at your own risk, be careful with granting read permissions to whole tables as you might easily end up there with disclosing confidential or privacy data.
In general, function modules of this type that read arbitrary SAP tables are regarded as a security threat by a responsible administrator and you might not get the permission for it at all.
In my personal opinion, I would classify most software that require the availability of the function module RFC_READ_TABLE to have a major design bug. At least I would not bet on that the developer for this really understood the difference between a database and an ERP system. It is always the recommended way to use specialized function modules for reading data from and even more for storing data into an ERP. Specialized modules normally do not go around fine-grained authorization checks and/or destroy the consistency of the stored data.

Hello Rich,
the sap gui from the NW2004s SneakPreview page is on patchlevel 8. The problem is when i use the latest sap gui from the service marketplace (full install!) i cant event call the gui. Getting a error when doubleclicking on the SAP Gui icon.
'The procedure entry point 'RfcResetTraceDir' could not be located in the dynamic link library 'LIBRFC32.dll' .'
So actually since i installed the NW2004s on my local notebook the only sap gui "working" (at least i can call it) is the one from the NW2004s Sneakpreview page but im getting this error mentioned here on all systems! not only on the NW2004s system

Terminal Services (TS) or Remote Desktop Services (RDS) scenario clarifications

Dear Support,
Question:
Do I still need to purchase RDS CALS license? or can use MSDN CALs in the Terminal Server?
Due to MSDN subscribers are End users, do not use Production Data and have to demo their developed applications to other End users group.
Scenario:
1. Use only Remote Desktop Session.
2. End users are MSDN Subscribers. (Although stated by Microsoft End users are non MSDN subscribers)
3. End users demo applications to End users.
4. End users develop their applications and have to demo to other End users group.
From MSDN link:
Client Access Licenses for Terminal Services
With an MSDN subscription, you are allowed to provide end users access to Internet demonstrations of your programs via Terminal Services (Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008) or Remote Desktop Services (Windows Server 2008 R2). Up to 200 anonymous
users can simultaneously access your demonstration this way. Your demonstration must not use production data. MSDN subscribers are licensed to demonstrate their applications to end users,
but Terminal Services (TS) or Remote Desktop Services (RDS) is the only scenario where end users without an MSDN subscription can interact with the demonstration application while the software is licensed through MSDN subscriptions.
Accessing CALs
MSDN subscribers can access CALs for demonstration purposes through the
Product keys page of MSDN Subscriber Downloads. Please access the documentation resources online for assistance with the
Terminal Server activation process. If you have any questions, please visit the Microsoft
Terminal Services forum.

Webdynpro Vs SAP GUI

Hi,
Our requirement is to make SAP transactions available over internet.We are considering below two options.
1) SAP GUI using VPN
2) Portal with java webdynpro
If we are not really interested in initutive UI , whay do we need to consider weebDypro as SAP GUI is the proven technology.
WebDynpro is considerably slower than SAP GUI, What is the need for using webDynpro over SAP GUI.
We have requirements for RF enabled trasactions.How simple to develop weebdypro applications for RF enabled devices.
Please explain How webdynpro is better than SAP GUI via VPN considering the above scenario ?
Thanks,

Hi,
1)The SAP GUI for HTML is used in combination with the ITS technology. It runs inplace in the browser. The contents are generated by the Internet Transaction Server (ITS). The SAP GUI for HTML need not be installed separately on the client computers.
2)SAP GUI for JAVA: This GUI runs as Java applet inplace in the browser
You must provide users with the SAP GUI for Java on the Web server and edit the properties in service file Transaction_Configuration. To do so follow this link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/b7/17c43b6312210fe10000000a11402f/content.htm
3)SAP gui for windows: SAP GUI for Windows must be installed locally on the client. It is started in the browser
refer this link for more details

Cisco 4400 WLC - Accessing web gui remotely

I know how to access the GUI from the service port. However, I am not able to access from Port 0. IPs have all been properly set. We have a management VLAN in our enterprise. I have configured the WLC management interface for an ip on that subnet. Port 0 is connected to a 3560G switch. I have set the switch port to be an access port to the management vlan and I have tried to set the switch port as a trunk, with the native vlan set to the management vlan. I am not able to ping nor access the web GUI remotely via the management vlan. Is this by design?
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
plz try to configure 0 as vlan on managment interface on WLC after configuring native vlan on the switch. if you havent tried it yet.
command - config interface vlan management 0
NOTe - you need to disabl all wlan that r mapped with management interface before doing any changes from CLI.
hope it will solve your prob.
Thanks

Crystal Report and Terminal Service 2008 (registry trouble ?)

Hi to everyone,
I develop an account software that use Crystal Report to obtain reporting capabilities. My software supports three runtimes of Crystal Reports: release 8, release 9 and release XI.
The user can configure the application and choose which to use.
Some installations (of our customers) use Terminal Server features: the application is installed on the host pc (usually Windows Server 2003), and the clients (running XP) connect to the host and use the software via Terminal Service, and all works fine.
Recently one customer of ours has set up a Windows Server 2008, and troubles began ! ... the Crystal Reports runtime failed to function. Let me try to explain the scenarioes:
- Host PC with Terminal Service 2008
- User A on a PC with Windows XP
- User B on a PC with Windows XP
scenario 1, my application uses Cristal Report Runtimes XI
User A and B can correctly install the runtimes.
Both of the user cannot print reports due to a failure instantiatìing the COM components of Crystal Report.
scenario 2, my application uses Cristal Report Runtimes 9 ... the most funny
User A connect to the host, install the runtimes and start to use the application. All works fine.
User B connect to the host, install the runtimes and start to use the application. User B can use the application (and print reports) but suddenly the User A failed to print (failure instantiatìing the COM components of Crystal Report).
Well ... User A reinstall Crystal Reports library and newly register COM components, and the application newly works fine (and print reports correctly) ... but User B suddenly stop printing reports (the same error).
User B reinstall Crystal Reports library and newly register COM components, and the application newly works fine (and print reports correctly) ... but User A suddenly stop printing reports (the same error) ... and so on.
scenario 3, my application uses Cristal Report Runtimes 8
User A and User B can correctly install the runtimes and the software works fine !
Very funny beacuse ver. 8 of Crystal Reports Runtime are quite old, but they works properly instead of rel. XI (more recent) that doesn't work at all !
Crystal Report runtimes use heavily Windows Registry, and setting up those runtimes require a lot of registry update (due to COM interfaces); maybe there is some registry issue/trouble that scramble Crystal Report runtimes configuration ... the scenario 2 is quite bizarre and counfuse me !
Shall I need to configure some setting on Terminal Service 2008 ?
any idea ? thank you very much.

Installing Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.5 and PhotoShop 5.5 on windows 2008 R2 SP1 using Terminal services

Hi All,
Is it possible to install Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.5 and PhotoShop 5.5 on windows 2008 R2 SP1 using Terminal services. We are planning to use xenapp to publish these application.
Please let me know if this is a supported environment.

As far as I know you will NOT be able to access OpenGL functionality through Terminal Services. as the OpenGL implementation provided in that environment is software, version 1.1 - not GPU-accelerated.
I seem to recall there was a thread about a year ago here where someone was trying to do what you are asking. I vaguely remember they were able to make it work, but I'm not sure. You might try doing a search of this forum.
