Java SAPGUI on Mac OS X questions

Hi,
I use SAPGUI 6.40r6 for Java on Mac OS 10.4.4, and there are some missing features / bugs which prevent me to work efficiently:
- Input History is missing, and it's THE FEATURE it should have to work more efficiently! How do guys at Apple computer work without it? Is it planned in a next SAPGUI release?
- Copy/Paste in ALV Grids, doesn't seem to work.
The only solution I've found is to launch Virtual PC to run SAPGUI for Windows!! It's heavy as SAPGUI is the only app I use on Windows!!!
I know that SAP is quite busy with the migration to Intel Macs but would really appreciate some improvements.
Any answer?
Best Regards,
Nicolas
ps: thanks to SAP and Apple for making great products!

Hello Nicolas,
to summarize:
It works to select text and copy using cmd-c in cells which are ready for user input.
It does not work to copy the cell content of a read only field using cmd-c, it only works with the context menu.
It does not work to select columns/rows and fill the clipboard with the selection.
I'll talk with the developer of the grid control about this. In case you want to be kept in the loop, you should file a bug report on component BC-FES-JAV.
Best regards

SAPGUI for Java Support on Mac 10.4

Hi,
I am using Mac OS 10.4 Tiger version with SAP GUI 6.4 rev6.
when I use SAPGUI 6.4 for eCATT Scripts, I am not able to append or insert new rows in the Parameter list.
Although, all the commands/pushbuttons are working as they should. On pressing the Append button, a line is inserted in the parameter list, I can add new parameter also. But the problem comes while saving the changes. The system message shows that test script saved successfully, but the changes are not reflected in the parameter list.
The details about the hardware/ software am using are:
Hardware:
Machine Name:     iMac
Machine Model:     PowerMac6,1
CPU Type:     PowerPC G4 (3.3)
Software:
System Version:     Mac OS X 10.4 (8A428)
Kernel Version:     Darwin 8.0.0
SAPGUI for JAVA:
SAPGUI for Java 6.40 rev 6
(Version ID 064000040600)
Build: Wed Dec 21 13:01:37 MET 2005 on uw1059
Java VM: Apple Computer, Inc. Version 1.4.2-54
OS: Mac OS X(ppc) Version 10.4
I would like to know if anyone else has faced the same problem with this configuration?
Do I need to change my configuration?
I am currently using SAPGUI for Java 6.3 rev8 for my eCATT scripting without the above problem.
One more problem is that am no more able to do recording through SAPGUI command in eCATT. OSS note 454939 says that SAPGUI for Java does not support eCATT. Use SAPGUI for windows for SAPGUI recordings.
Does that mean SAPGUI recording in eCATT will not be supported for SAPGUI for Java any further?

Hi,
I am also need this Software.

Downloading and Installing SAPGUI for Mac OSX

First of all I want to say, that this site has the most un-intuitive interface and complicated navigation system I have ever encountered. Was it so difficult to create an easy to access download area for all the GUI's to be accessed and downloaded along with detailed instructions on how to install them?
Sigh.
That being said, I would like some help downloading the SAPGUI for Mac. I know its the java, which can be installed Platform independent. When I go to the download site, and I get to the basket portion it doesnt let me download it. It asks me for my credentials (the same ones I had to use to post in here) and then it knocks out my connection and doesnt let me download.
Secondly I would like also the steps I need to do to install the .jar file on a Mac running 10.6.8. I found a .jar file elsewhere but it runs with errors and doesnt let me get to the familiar interface for configuring SAP.
When I run the .jar file on the mac I get the following error:

I am not a SAP expert, and no one in my company knows how to work the technical side of SAP on this platform, so I am trying to install and configure this for them so they are able to work.
Thanks!

Hello,
doing a search for "SAPGUI for Java" with your favorite search engine should include the site SAP GUI Family in the top ten of the result list.
This site includes links to navigate directly to the [downloads|SAP GUI Family#section31] of both SAP GUI for Windows and SAP GUI for Java.
On the [same page|SAP GUI Family#section16], there is a [link|SAP GUI Family?rid=/library/uuid/f0dcf725-6b0e-2d10-da9a-96eb3474bdd3] to the online version of the manual which is included with SAP GUI for Java.
Your problem downloading the installer might be related to permissions, please refer to [note 1037574|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1037574] .
Regarding your problem running SAP GUI for Java
I do not understand "When I run the .jar file". From the stack of the Java console, it looks like your are trying to start it in the browser and the version on the web server and the one installed on your Mac do not match (see "Incompatible Certificates" in the known issues section of the manual coming with SAP GUI for Java).
Once you have downloaded a current SAP GUI for Java version and still have issues using it, please provide more information about your scenario.
Best regards

How to launch java files on Mac OS

Hey! I got a question: how to wrap a java file into Mac OS executable file? Analog for Windows is exe4j . It creates a jre in a exe file , so a person dont need to install runtime env. So any way to do like that? I need to launch program on Mac OS without terminal & installed jre. Just double-click on icon. Thanx for response.

won't work. The question is how to execute a Java source file as a Mac executable.I don't think that's what the OP wants. To quote him:
I need to launch program on Mac OS without terminal & installed jre. Just double-click on icon.Sounds exactly as if he'd like to have an executable jar file. And since Mac OS X comes with a JRE preinstalled, there is no more magic necessary to make it easily usable.

To Java Devs on Mac: is it wise to migrate to Mac for a Java/J2EE dev?

Cheers to all java devs on Mac,
I am considering moving to the Mac platform. I like the HW a lot, I like OS X a lot. I have browsed through various blogs, forums and articles on Java on Mac and from what I've read it seems that the future of Java on Mac is somehow unsure... at least in compare with Win and Linux.
So, my question is: given I'm a web developer who works with Java EE, you know, Eclipse, Tomcat/Jetty, Spring and the stuff, is it wise and practical to get a Mac? I mean, am I going to have to sell it in a few years simply because Apple will became virtually ignorant of the Java platform... or am I too pesimistic? :) And is Java 6 on Mac in a condition suitable for Java EE development?
Thanks for all your thoughts...
Dan

kajbj wrote:
And is Java 6 on Mac in a condition suitable for Java EE development?That's one of the drawbacks. New JDK releases are lagging behind the other platforms.Out of curiosity I google if there is any work for getting the OpenJDK to run on Mac OS X and [indeed there is|http://landonf.bikemonkey.org/code/macosx/FreeBSD_Java_16_Status_Update.20071112.html]. So it seems that at least for development up-to-date JDKs will no longer be as rare as they used to be for those Macs.

Running a Java Applet on Mac OS browser

I'm having trouble getting my Java Applet to work properly on the Mac OS version of IE5. Basicaly, the app fails to appear. Are there any do's and don'ts regarding the running of Java Applets on Mac Browsers?
I read somewhere that you can't send parameters through to the Applet. Is that true? I'm not trying to do this and it's still doesn't work.
Any help would be appreciated.

If anyone can help me with this problem I would be greatful.

Alternating mac face and question mark after i tried to install OS X 10.3

I have a Powerbook G4 and I tried to update my operating sytem from 10.2.8 to 10.3 but it froze. After I restarted it I got an alternating mac face and question mark. It just ejects the CDs I try to put into it except for the installation disk for OS X 10.1.3. When I put that one in a smiling mac computer come up then all this type comes across the screen, something about kernels and panic.
Please help me, I've got a project due soon.

Could someone please help me,
when i open my power book g4, an alternating Mac face and question mark appears, and no matter what I do it is still there.
it only changes when I insert the installtion CD of MAC OS X 10.3, but after the Apple logo appears, the screen went white and sometimes just blue, and it just won't work. Then after restarting, the alternating Mac face and question mark still appear.
i also tried the hardware test, after doing both of the tests, the result is consistently "passed". But after restarting, the same problem happens.
what should i do?
please help me
thanx in advanced

If you can run it under chrome, you have java installed.
There was some malware that exploited an older version of Java (not javascript) running in a Browser. Since few people use it Apple turned off Java by default in the Safari Browser.
If you need it for something, just turn it back on in Safari preferences (inside Safari). After a few months of non-use, you may find it has turned itself off again.

I heard there was a security breach in Java installed in Macs and that there is a patch to fix it. But that's all I know. Is there more info available?

the output of the AboutBox is indicating that you are trying to run SAP GUI for Java on Solaris 10 with x86 CPU. Unfortunately, the library required to be loaded is complied for SPARC.
