NWBC Side Panel and SAP GUI Scripting

Hi,
I was hoping someone might be able to clarify the SAP GUI scripting requirements for using the NWBC side panels. In the help documentation it states:
As of NWBC 3.5 patch level 6 or NWBC 4.0 and SAP GUI 7.20 patch level 13 or 7.30 final release, it is no longer necessary to enable SAP GUI Scripting on the client PC, except if you are using Property Collector. That means, it is no longer necessary to enable front-end scripting through registry key (HKLM and HKCU) for using side panels in NWBC. However, it is still necessary to install SAP GUI Scripting and to enable it for the server (at least read-only).
Some of our users are getting pop up messages that say "The scripting support is not installed"... interestingly they don't actually appear to be opening a side panel when they get this message.
I noticed that these users don't actually have SAP GUI scripting installed at all, so not that it is just not enabled, it is not installed in these cases. So does the above section from the help documentation mean that SAP GUI scripting must be installed on the client PC but it does not actually have to be enabled?
That's how I am currently reading it... but perhaps someone can clarify for me, or someone else has had a similar experience.
Thanks,
Simon

Hi Simon,

Meaning: SAP GUI Scripting need to be installed on the client PC, although it is not required to activate it:

Difference between SAP GUI scripting and eCATT

HI,
What is difference between SAP GUI Script and eCATT.
I know that SAP GUI Script can be used for transaction that have activex controls but can we use these script in eCATT also.
If yes, how?
Thanks,
Priya

Hi Priya,
SAPGUI script will only work from an external program, may be VB or vbScript. ECATT can only execute a fixed set of commands e.g. (TCD, SAPGUI etc) or a block of ABAP code. ECATT can both work in foreground and background mode.
In foreground mode you would be able to see the script running on your frontend whereas background mode will create a job in the SAP system.
You can convert your SAPGUI scripts to SAPGUI commands and execute. If you strictly want to execute SAPGUI script from ECATT then you would have to save the script somewhere on your desktop computer and call it from an ABAP block in ECATT.

SAP GUI Scripting Wizzard Windows7 does not work

Dear Experts,
I am quite a novice when it comes to SAP GUI scripting (let alone any other development), therefore my question might be rather stupid. After my PC was migrated from XP to Windows 7 it is no longer possible to use the SAP GUI scripting wizzard. When you select it from the menue, simply nothing happens.
Does anyone have an idea what I need to do to have this useful tool back on my PC?
We are running SAP GUi 7.1
Thanks for your help

Here is SAP GUI wizard replacement tool...its in auto IT - enjoy
http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/149540-sapwizardudf/
I had the tech guys here install , the latest GUI patch level 15,
and the script development tools not working issue has been fixed
They (SAP?) removed the 'script development tools' menu option!?
I have not installed the MS hotfix, but
My question is, it true the 'Script development tools' is gone?
Other methods
a) This (free) non SAP solution seems to work however...any other ideas?
Scripting Tracker Lite
http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-32728
b) The Activate GuiXT tool in SAP GUI also does give you some clues in the element window
and could be an alternative way , to get control names.
eg a radio button is R[P_CONTROL_ID] when it should be radP_CONTROL_ID
c) The SAP script recording and playback , to a vbs script will give you the control names also, if you edit the script.
You must of course have GUI scripting on in rz11

SAP GUI Scripting: Script Is Running.....Help!

Hello all,
I'm new to the forums and have an SAP question problem. I'm an end user of SAP and have been using it since 2002. A couple of weeks ago when I logged into SAP I noticed a red/white icon in the lower right corner of my screen. When I hover over it it says "SAP GUI Scripting: Script Is Running". The problem is, I have never created a script. When I start working in SAP I have noticed a lot of the screens have a different format now and I get a lot of ABAP errors.
After doing some research I found under "Customize Local Layout", "Options" I can uncheck the box "Enable Scripting". I click "Apply" and "OK". Now the red/white icon goes away in the lower right corner and all my screens go back to normal with no ABAP errors.
The problem now is that every minute or two I get a pop up window that says "Scripting support is disabled by the user".
Has anyone else had this problem?
1. I've never created a script. Why is one running now?
2. Is there a way to stop the pop up message "Scripting support is disabled...." if I uncheck "Enable Scripting"?
Thanks for any feedback

I agree, I'm stumped. I even tried looking through the SAP entries in my registry to see if I could find anything. It's a bit confusing but I didn't see anything out of place.

Executing SAP GUI Script From a Web Page

I have an issue when trying to execute some javascript (sap gui script) from a webpage.
When the javascript is executed I get the message:
automation server unable to create object.
However, this exact same javascript when placed in a text file and double-clicked executes just fine through the windows scripting host.
Does anyone have an example of gui script code executing from a webpage? Or any ideas on why it isn't working from the webpage? Both scenarios should be executing the code on the local machine through WSH.
Below is the javascript as well as the webpage executing the javascript:
SAPGUI SCRIPT
if (typeof(application) == "undefined")
   sapgui      = GetObject("SAPGUI");
   application = sapgui.GetScriptingEngine;
if (typeof(connection) == "undefined")
   connection = application.children(0);
if (typeof(session) == "undefined")
   session = connection.children(0);
if (typeof(WScript) != "undefined")
   WScript.connectObject(session, "on");
   WScript.connectObject(application, "on");
session.findById("wnd[0]").maximize();
session.findById("wnd[0]/tbar[0]/okcd").text = "/nzsd1067";
session.findById("wnd[0]").sendVKey(0);
session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/ctxtVBAK-KUNNR").text = "6343";

Hi Bernd,
the following code works in VBS. If you run saplogon.exe you'll get a message box saying '/app'.
Set Wrp = CreateObject ("SapROTWr.SapROTWrapper")
Set SapGui = Wrp.GetROTEntry ("SAPGUI")
Set application = sapgui.GetScriptingEngine
MsgBox application.id
I haven't tried it on a web page, but I don't see why it shouldn't work there. Ok, maybe the MsgBox is command is not available.
Best regards,
Christian

Difference between using the Enterprise Portal and SAP GUI

Hi Gurus,
Could one of you please send me a document that lists the differences between the Enterprise Portal and SAP GUI?
thanks in advance

Hi,
For groups, managedBy is an administrative convenience to designate “group admins”. Whatever principal listed in
managedBy gets permission to update a group’s membership (the actual security is updated on the group’s AD object to allow this).
In Win2008 and later managedBy also became the way you delegated local administration on an RODC, allowing branch admins to install patches, manage shares, etc. (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc755310(WS.10).aspx).
On the RODC, this is updating the RepairAdmin registry value within RODCRoles.
So the difference between them should be only the way they do the same thing.
For more details, please refer to the below article:

Variables in a SAP GUI Script

Hi All,                                                                                -
Can somebody tell me, how can I use a variable instead of hardcoded value into a SAP GUI script?
Because the recorded file is a vbs-file, I have tried to declare a variable as usual:
Dim Count As Integer
Count = 58
But when I try to execute the updated script, even without assigning the Count variable to any places from the script, an error occurs u2013 u2018expected end of statementu2019 (the same error also occurs if I use Count instead of 58). Actually I want to replace all occurrences of number 58 in the script below. Can anybody help me?
Thanks,

SSO E-Sourcing and SAP GUI for HTML

Hi,
We are trying to provide integration between SAP E-Sourcing and SAP ECC via the SAP GUI for HTML. From an E-Sourcing project, we should define a link which will link us to the report via SAP GUI for HTML. Some parameters are automatically transferred via the URL so that the report will be prefiltered.
The problem arises that we cannot create a SSO mechanism between SAP E-Sourcing and SAP GUI for HTML. The only documentation we can find is how to setup this SSO between the Portal and ESO (only included going from the EP to ESO). We need to find a way to do the opposite, i.e. SSO from ESO to SAP / EP.
Thnx,
Bram

Dear Chong,
I have came across the following information about SAP GUI For HTML
With the version 7.02 / 7.20 of the NW Application Server
the SAP GUI for HTML has been completely
reworked.
1.The rendering is now based on Unified
Rendering which is also used by many other
SAP UI technologies.
2.Similar Look & Feel as other UI technologies
3.Better Portal integration
4.Full Theme support
5.Unified client requirements
But have not came across any note which converts the SAP GUI for HTML to SAP GUI for Windows in appearacne. I think the point 2 mentioned about says that in this version the SAP GUI for HTML will have appearnce like the other UI.
Pls refer the [link|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d06db80d-ebf4-2a10-6b99-faa652c69d5c?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true]
Hope it helps.

WebDynpro proxy page with Webdynpro iView and SAP Gui for html iView

Hello,
I have a requirement to have a page that has at the top of it a webdynpro for java iView screen with several links that when pressed pop-up various data pulled from the back-end. This part is fine and presents no problem. Beneath this the requirement calls for a SAP Gui for HTML iView to be displayed. Which is no problem either. The problem occurs when one of the links in the java webdynpro application at the top of the screen is pressed it causes the SAP Gui for HTML portion to refresh and come back to the beginning. So for example you first navigate to this screen and you go into the sap gui for html portion and drill into 2 or 3 screens in the sap gui for html transaction. If you then press one of the webdynpro links the sap gui for html (which is a separate iView) refreshes and you are taken back to the initial screen. This only occurs when using a web dynpro proxy page. If I use a standard page the SAP Gi for html does not refresh. Unfortunately there are other things not mentioned here that require us to use the webdynpro proxy page.
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Bert

Use System admin -> System Config and find your system in the PCD (under portal content). Right click and open -> permissions. Find a user or group or role and give it the end user permission. I'd suggest the group Everyone.
Cheers

ECATT and SAP GUI

Hi Friends
I am new to this forum and would request to help me solving the following problem
Requirement is as follows.
Development of screen mapping utility - which would likely use the eCATT/SAPGUI library.
Depending on how the eCATT/SAPGUI interface works, probably some infrastructure code to connect, etc.
How should i go about this.

Hello Sunder,
I think that you should post this question in the SAP GUI.

Paralell sesions ITS moble and SAP GUI

Hi All,
Is it possible to restrict ITS mobile users to access the backend only via ITS?
Right now they can use ITS mobile screens and at the same time logon to the system via SAP GUI.
Could you please advise is it possible to block SAP GUI?
Best regards,
Adam

Hi Adam,
You can try to change the user type to Communication. With this user type, the user cannot logon to system via sapgui but can via http.

SAP GUI Scripting bug?

Hi there,
I developed a custom transaction with only one very simple screen. I disabled the application toolbar in the screen settings (checked "Without Application Toolbar"). But when I start SAP GUI via Scripting API, the application toolbar is always shown. I wonder is this a bug or by design?
Does anyone know the work around for this? It's a real show stopper for me
