EP6.0 connection to R/3 system without SapGui for Windows

Hi all !
I have installed "SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Portal on SQL server - Developer Edition Sneak Preview"
     - SAP Web Application Server Java 6.40 SP7 and SQL Server 8.0
     - SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio SP7
     - SAP Enterprise Portal 6.0 SP6
It works fine.
My colleague installed a MiniSAP R/3 on SapDB with WAS 6.20. It works also fine!
Now I want to connect my portal to the R/3 system of my colleague, but it works only if I install a SapGui for windows on my PC. I don't want that! If I uninstall SapGui, the portal ask me to download "com.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap ".
I would only like to access his transactions and databases without anything installed on the client pc. What is the solution? Should I implement WebServices? Or is there a simpler way?
Thanks for your help.
Anne

"For the ITS, I thought I had already that with "SAP Web Application Server Java 6.40 SP7"
Only true if you installed the portal on a 'true' WebAS and not just the J2EE part. Not sure what the latest status is, but not too long ago a EP6 SP3 or higher was not supported on a full WebAS.
So development with the developer studio is the way to go indeed. On the other hand, the Visual Composer is a great tool for showing and changing data from SAP in a table form in a matter of minutes. Maybe this is all you need.
Maybe somebody can explain to me how the integrated ITS on WAS640 really works. I was under the impression that you still need ITS to connect to SAP systems that run on WebAS < 6.40

Strange: SAPgui for Windows cannot run without SAPlogon installed.

We find out that if there is no SAPlogon installed on a PC, then we CANNOT
run SAPgui for Windows at EP7.
We need a fix for this. That is :
How to run SAPgui for Windows at EP7 on a PC without SAPlogon
installed?
Points guaranteed. Thanks!

For a Transaction iView based on SAP GUI for Windows, SAP GUI for Windows must be installed locally on the client machine.
The other options are GUI for HTML & GUI for Java.
For GUI for HTML you need to enter the details (Host & Path) of the ITS server in the system object.
In ERP 2005 the ITS is integrated with the ERP system.
For GUI for Java you would need to place the SAP GUI for Java installation files at the server and enter its http location in the "com.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap" Service.
This link will give you information about the 3 GUIs.

SAPGUI for Windows via Portal - problem with frame

We are launching SAPGUI for Windows via Portal to drive single sign-on via AD. Our problem is that when SAPGUI launches, it is contained within an IE browser frame that causes some of the SAPGUI screens to not fit on the screen well. Those same screens fit just fine if we launch SAPGUI directly.
Is there any way to launch SAPGUI from Portal, with SSO enabled, but without the IE frame around it?

Lonny,
The best way to authenticate users when they logon using SAP GUI for Windows, is to use SNC authentication in SAP GUi. Then, the browser iview will launch the GUI and the GUI will authenticate the user using their AD credentials issued during the Windows logon. You will need to setup an SNC library on both the ABAP system which the user is logged onto, and the workstation where SAP GUI is installed.
If you don't use SNC, and you just launch SAP GUI for Windows from browser, then an SSO2 ticket is used to authenticate the user to the ABAP stack, and this is not secure due to the fact that the SAP GUI session which is used to pass the SSO2 ticket is not protected - anybody can intercept the SAP GUI session, take the SSO2 ticket from this traffic and logon as that user - clearly this is bad security and needs SNC to make it secure.
Thanks,
Tim

Did favorites get replaced by shortcuts in SAPGUI for windows?

Hi all,
We just upgraded SAPGUI for Windows on several workstations from (going from 640 to 710) and noticed that users lost the list of favorites they created. So my first question is: were favorites replaced by shortcuts? My second question is: were the original favorites stored in saplogon.ini (which we replaced as part of our upgrade)?
Thank you for your time. Pointers to helpful documentation appreciated.

Hi Joe,
the favorites are stored within the SAP-system (table SMEN_BUFFC). That's why you have to download them to your client and import them into another system. Could it be, that you're testing your new GUI with a new system...
Only the connection parameters are stored in SAPLOGON.INI
And finally, shortcuts aren't new to 7.10 - they exist since 6.20...

SAPGui for Windows Multiple Logon with Portal

Hi,
We are using SAPGUI for Windows in Portal in the external window, we are also using it the SAPConsole form the desktop. While using from desktop, the multiple logon (within same client) complains / comes with the pop-up with two standard options.
We would like achieve the same functionality of popup (Restricting multiple logons for the same client) within the portal, any ideas?
I came across certain threads and also notes but none seem to provide a solution....

WinGUI vs. SAPGUI for Windows.

Hi,
the terms "WinGUI" and "SAPGUI for Windows" are frequently used as synonyms in these forums, yet they seem to be different.
When I start a "WinGUI"-based iView in my Portal (EP6) in a separate window, what I see is definitely not "SAPGUI for Windows" (the Win32 application, that we all know), but rather another instance of my browser (MS internet explorer) with "something" that looks quite similar to "SAPGUI for Windows".
So, that is "WinGUI" then? is it a java applet? a component that comes with ITS? another "trick" running SAPGUI in a web browser window?
If I use the "View/Source code" menu command in IE on that "WinGUI" window, I don't see anything. Usually, notepad would open and display the HTML source code of the current page. Not so with "WinGUI"
Puzzled.
Does anyone know what the difference is?
regards
Lothar

Hi Lothar,
There are three types of GUI.
Win Gui or SAP Gui: Win32 Fat client
SAP Web Gui: Gui via ITS
SAP Java Gui: Gui that uses java render fat client
What you are seeing is Win Gui or SAP Gui running inside internet explorer. Kind of like Acrobrat reader, microsoft excel embedded withing IE. You can make the win Gui popup outside the IE by changing the iview properties to SSF.

RSBBS Receiver in SapGUI for Windows

I have a jump target defined as an R3 transaction. When I execute the jump, the transaction opens in a browser windows. I guess it is SapGUI for HTML using ITS on the R3 system. I want the transaction to open in a SapGUI for Windows session. Where is the config/setting that controls if the session is SapGUI for HTML or for Windows?
Thanks

Hello Dave,
When jump from a web application (web report) to transaction, you can only jump to HTML Gui, not possible to SAPGui. This is the design. Is this your case too ? Please refer to following help files.

What is happening about Java System Identity Synchronization for Windows

I have been playing with "Java System Identity Synchronization for Windows" for a while now. I am about to swich over to is 100%, but I am worried that the latest version is "Windows 1 2004Q3".
Has any one got any ideas about this. The product sort of works, and is much smaller that going for the whole "Java System Identity Management Suite 2005Q4" which is way to big and complicated for our and I think many people.
Don't forget Microsoft have now release its own tools to do this in the latest Windows 2003 SP.

Hi..
You are accessing Tcode in browser, it means we have to use sap gui for html only not windows.
The display is restricted only to a small of the IE screen
Do you mean, tcode opens in minimize window mode? if yes, then in create_external_window method , try to maximize the window by default.

Launching SAPGUI for Windows from WD application

Hi,
I have managed to launch an SAPGUI transaction "BRF+" at the click of a link on my Web Dynpro application. For this, I used the sample code from Reg calling Transaction code in Webdynpro ABAP
However, this opens the SAPGUI for HTML, where the transaction is not rendered correctly. The display is restricted only to a small of the IE screen, and no button clicks are working.
Is there any way to fix this? Or, is it possible to launch SAPGUI for Windows from a WD application?
Thanks, Rohan.

Get System Identity Synchronization for Windows working in relication mode

I have got ISW running on DS 5.2 it is all working correctly.
What I want to do is set up a relica DS server with ISW on it as well.
What I have done:
Install DS5.2 on another machine and start replication and it works all data is in the new LDAP server, but I am having problems install the ISW software on the new server.
Steps:
1) On original master with ISW installed and tell ISW of a secondery server. It tell me to install connector an that machine.
2) On my replica server I run "runInstaller.sh" and it all seems to work except when I stop and restart the server I get the followowing errors:
# /etc/init.d/directory start

/etc/init.d/directory: unable to start the Directory Server 5.2
I have checked and the above files are not installed well SUNWxrcsj and SUNWiswcm have not be installed.
Question:
How do I install ISW on a secondery server. I thought I was following the online docs, but I guess I am missing something.

Hello All,

Some time it hangs at 97% while installing core and some time it giving error the installer cannot upload some entries in the template this error comes when i restore my directory server zone.
Can some please give me idea why it giving these error on solaris zone.
Thanks in Advance,

No system restore support for Windows 8.1?

Last week I purchased a Satellite E45t-A4300. It came with Windows 8. Soon after booting it up I received a message from Microsoft saying that I could update to Windows 8.1 for free. So, I did.   The next day I called Toshiba's customer support in order to learn how to make back-up/recovery media. I was told that since I had updated to Windows 8.1, Toshiba would take no responsibility, since the Recovery Media Center software supplied with the computer is meant for Windows 8.0. Is this indeed the case?   What can I do? Thanks for any replies.

Your upgrade to Windows 8.1 from the Windows Store did not disturb the recovery partition. Consequently, refreshing or resetting your PC will restore Windows 8. Recovery media created from that partition also has the factory-new image. After restoring from either, you would then need to upgrade to Windows 8.1 again.
That works out fine for me, since I use restore to out-of-box only to test the hardware. I rely on a current (last night's) backup image to restore the hard drive.
If you don't want to obtain a third-party imaging application, Windows 7 full-disk imaging is still available in Windows 8.1. Paul Thurrott describes it here.

For data files, File History is very good.
