SAP GUI for Mac OS X 10.4

I want to upgrade my Macs to Apples current operating system Mac OS X 10.4.1 Tiger. I had read few weeks ago, the JAVA-Implementation doesn't work with any SAP GUI for Java. SAP has recommended, to still work with Mac OS X 10.3.9 and SAP GUI for Java 6.30 Revision 8.
When will be available a working SAP GUI for Mac OS X 10.4.1 Tiger ? Has someone informations ?

Hello all,
I completely understand the impact of the missing Mac support. I try to explain the reason for the current situation and give an outlook.
Starting in summer 2004, the SAPGUI development team and test labs have dedicated a significant amount of time in testing on Mac OS X 10.4 preview versions, reporting bugs and pushing Apple to fix them. We opened more than 20 bug reports, which were not exclusively related to SAP GUI, just plain JFC/Swing issues. Unfortunately two show-stoppers for SAP GUI were left at the time Apple shipped Mac OS X 10.4.
Since April this year we are running more tests on developer preview versions of the Java 1.4.2 Release 2, which is supposed to address these issues.
With developer preview 3, there are no severe open issues left and we are just waiting for Apple to ship the final version of JRE 1.4.2 Release 2.
Apple has not disclosed any shipment schedules in the past and so we have not been able to plan for something. If we would have known in advance, that the final version will be that long after developer preview 3, we would have started a beta seed based on a TEA (test and evaluation agreement) at the time developer preview 3 was available (beginning of August).
Last week Apple has indicated that the final version of Java 1.4.2 Release 2 is expected to become available every day now. I hope Apple is right and this thread will be obsolete soon. SAP GUI for Java 6.40 rev 4 including the Mac OS X version is already waiting on the loading ramp.
If there is no final version of Java 1.4.2 Release 2 by end of September we will provide an unsupported SAPGUI based on a test and evaluation agreement.
Best regards

Need SAP GUI for Mac and process of how to install and configure

Hi Experts,
     I need SAP GUI for Mac. Also please explain the process of how to install, how to configure etc? Please help me.

You can download the SAP Presentation DVD that will have the SAPGUI Java version for OS X. After you install, just run the app from the Application Folder.
For config there are a few options:
1. To connect to a DI directly. After starting the app, click new and under the "Advanced" tab use the following string:
   conn=/H/(hostname)/S/(port / 3200 for instance ID 00)
2. To connect to a login group. After starting the app, open the "Preferences" / Configuration / Messageservers, you need to set a path to a file that has the message servers in the following string
(SID) :     /M/(hostname)/S/(message server port)
Then click "New" and on the first tab you can choose a system and login group.
Hope this helps.
Thank
matt

Hello Harish,
SAP GUI for Java 7.00 and 7.10 are no longer supported and as a result, are not available from SAPs download locations.
You can use SAP GUI for Java 7.20 on Mac OS X 10.5 in case JSE 6 can be installed (requires 64-bit Intel CPU, see [note 1400273|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1400273]).

In need of help going from Windows SAP GUI to Mac/Java SAP GUI 7.20

Hi Everyone, first post...I want to thank you in advance for any assistance you are able to provide.
I got everything working except for 1 out of 6 servers I need to connect to - of course this is the most important one.
It all comes down to the conversion of saplogon.ini to the new file format, instead of using the GUI to make a list I have created 6 individual .sapc files that I run directly. I found some converters but only had so much success with them, nothing solid and 100% full proof.
I'm going to post my windows config files and maybe you can tell me why logging into this system GP8 doesn't work from my mac?
saplogon.ini (I believe it's item 4 that is the full config for the server I'm trying to connect to)

Please tell me from all the info you have here what needs to take place for me to be able to connect to GP8. Can I do it from an sapc file? Do I have to configure other core files and go to my preferences and tell SAP to look at certain configs? I'm sure someone here can help me.
Thanks so much for your time

Hello John,
please try the "SAP GUI for Java Configuration Generator Scripts" available at http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-25456#section9 .
For using the message server to connect to GP8, the information of the port number of the message server for GP8 is missing. For direct connection to GP8, it might work to use the connection string "conn=/H/gp8001.trans.de/S/3288" .

SAP GUI for JAVA - Search Help ALV display

I need to be able to display search helps in the ALV grid format or the ' Dialog Modal ' option as seen on the Settings for all F4 helps tab under the personalize option for search helps.
Currently when I am using a Macintosh machine the system ignores the system setting and my personal settings and displays all search results in an ABAP List format. Unfortunately the ABAP list format does not work correctly when used to input a field on another ABAP list report.
This behaviour can be found on the Mozilla Firefox browser when SAP GUI for HTML and the SAP GUI for JAVA.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Rolf-Martin,
Thank you for your detailed explanation on how the ALV grid control is implemented for the SAP GUI for Java. This has been pretty insightful. The good news is that I finally figured out a solution to my problem. You see I inherited an old custom program where an ABAP list is used as an interactive data capture screen with input fields. Well a couple of fields had search helps. The program has worked fine with the regular SAP GUI until a MAC OS user tried to use it with the SAP GUI for Java. Whenever they selected a line from the search help it would bring back the entire onto their input screen.
A sample of the code:
form search_help.
 CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST'
 EXPORTING
 TABNAME = 'EKPO'
 FIELDNAME = 'MATNR'
 SEARCHHELP = 'ZMAT1_A'
 SHLPPARAM = 'MATNR'
 TABLES
 RETURN_TAB = RET_TABLE.
IF NOT RET_TABLE-FIELDVAL IS INITIAL.
 LINXX-XMATNR = RET_TABLE-FIELDVAL.
 MODIFY CURRENT LINE FIELD VALUE XMATNR FROM LINXX-XMATNR. " ****
ENDIF.
SET CURSOR 9 SY-CUROW. " ********
endform.
The problem was being caused by the fact that the search help ABAP list was overriding the sy-XXXX values for the current line contents, index, pageno, cursor row for the calling ABAP list. So when a user selected a row from the search help this would now become the current context and be transferred back to the calling program.
The fix was pretty simple; all I had to do was save the current line context and the context prior to calling the search help. After the search help was run I would then replace the current line with the saved one in my local variable. I hope this makes sense. We now have a couple of happy MAC OS users.
Once again I thank you for your patience and support in this matter.
Have a great day,
Edwin.

Hello Sathish,
SAP GUI for Java 7.30 is out of support from 31st of March 2015. SAP recommends to always use the latest available version of SAP GUI when installing new clients. Refer below link for more info.
So, I would suggest you to download 7.40. You could get that from the same link.

Installation of SAP GUI on MAC OS 10.3.6

Hi,
I am using an Apple imac machine running on MAC OS 10.3.6. I have installed SAP GUI rev8 in it, but when i tried to connect the SAP Sever it failed. I have a SAP Server running on SUN Solaris Platform.Is there any configurations to be done in the server to accept request from Apple machine. Which version of JRE will GUI rev8 support.
Please let me know how to make connection from GUI to my server.
Regards,
Saravanan

Hi Saravanan,
first there is a update of Java GUI 6.30 rev 10 for MacOS 10.3 (Panther) available or a 6.40 version for MacOS 10.4 (Tiger).
please refere to thread:
SAP GUI for Java 6.40 rev 4 (no longer) available
or
SAP GUI for Java 6.40 rev 4 is available at
ftp://ftp.sap.com/pub/sapgui/java/640r4/ and
http://service.sap.com/sapgui-java
second:
You have to do no special configuration to connect from a Mac.
If you connect to the server via a JavaGUI on Linux, etc. just use the same configuration and connection string for Mac OS X.
FYI:
Your connection string can look something like:
conn=/H/192.168.1.10/S/3205
where 192.168.1.10 is the server IP adress and 3205 is the portnumber.
For details please refere to the documentation:
9. Technical Background -> Connection Strings
and
6. User Configuration

Dear Rolf-Martin,
I have problem w/ sapgui java that puzzled me all along ...
I've downloaded SAPGUI Java 700r2.1 .. then successfully installed in my PPC ibook G4 ... up and running well ...
one day my colleague with a new MacBook (Intel Core Duo 2GHz) want to have SAPGUI ...
i installed it, run the apps, it works well to the point of SAPLOGON window ...
But it cannot connect to any server defined ...
When I create a new connection, it correctly connected to server and group list can be chosen, but still when I click it to connect nothing happened as if the program not running.
Java -version is 1.5.0_07 .. software update checked, no issue with Java or else ...
I've also try to change the JDK to 1.4.2 to no avail.
I'm stuck. system already re-installed. install sapgui from fresh but problem still persist.
No clue from Googling ... no clue from sapnotes ...
Would you please point me to something so I can dig in ?

Connect to SAP R/3 using SAP GUI for HTML through saprouter

Hello,
I have my system running on my intranet, but I need to connect some support enginners through an Internet connection. Nowadays some users can connect to QAS and PRO systems using SAP GUI for windows and java with the saprouter string, but the support enginners are using SAP GUI for HTML, do I need a special string or configuration so html users can connect to my system from the Internet?
Thanks in advance.

thanks, I can get the data from SAP R/3 to crystal report.
but still dont know how to do the second question mentioned in previous message:
once the table I want to get the data from is a cluster, and have found the mapping data dictionary of this data cluster, which displayed in crystal report connection as well, however, the data is not what I wanted.
