SAPGUI scripting via. Excel

We have a inhouse SAPGUI scripting tool (not really sure if it is Inhouse or SAP delivered it) that we currently use to perform Mass updates via. Excel. The person who created this has left the company but now we have a need to update this. I have no idea of how it was developed. It just seems like it was customized from available scripting functions alread yavalable. This was created in 2003 and obviously it is outdated.
How it works:
We install this tool/plugin, and it creates a menu item in the Excel called SAP Scripting and it has Connect to SAP, Play, Record, Stop, Generate Input Sheet as options. Wehn you click connect to SAP, it brings up the Logon pad and allows the user to select a system and logon. Then yo ucan click Record and it will capture all the transcations and when you hit stop and click generate input sheet, the script is ready. The script looks something like the below but below is not complete.
Issue:
The script is converting all the Input Values to UpperCase but when we use this to populate some paramets which are case sensitive, we are having issues. We need to figure out a way so that the script doesn't convert the input values to UpperCase.
have nayone seen this type os scripting tool? Any advice?
IsInput     ID     ScriptCode

EEM: SAPGUI scripting not enabled on server

Hi Gurus,
I have setup SAPGUI EEM monitoring via SOLMAN 7.1 but after deployment there's an error message "SAPGUI scripting not enabled on server()-214722150:disabledByServer=True". I already checked the backend system, and the paramater of sapgui/user_scripting is set to TRUE.
Please advise what else do I need to check in order for the SAPGUI scripting to be working in EEM? Is there any additional parameter that I need to change in the backend system?
Thanks,

SAPGUI Scripting - Connection in Delphi/Lazarus

Hi,
i tried to convert my autoitscript projects to Delphi/Lazarus because i need a few things autoit can´t offer. I have a few scripts written that interact with the SAP GUI that work quite well, e.g. Excel data import, specific label printing (p-touch) automated data change/correction etc.
I thought the simple connection to the SAP-GUI scripting wouldn´t be that difficult to migrate but in fact i´m not able to just do the simple task to connect to the running SAP session in Delphi/Lazarus.
Perhaps anyone has already done this and could share the code in Delphi/Lazarus that does the following that works perfectly well in Visual Studio VBA:
Dim sapgui, sapapp, sap_connection, sap_session As Object
        sapgui = GetObject("SAPGUI")
        sapapp = sapgui.GetScriptingEngine
        sap_connection = sapapp.Children(0)
        sap_session = sap_connection.Children(0)
        MsgBox(sap_session.findById("wnd[0]").Text)
I tried a few things in Lazarus but it always sticks at the "Children(0)" connection with a ole type error
Thanks
Thomas

Hopefully i found the answer
i just referenced the activex file "SAPFEWINSE.OCX"   which is part of the SAPGUI Scripting API project SAPFEWINSELIB
feel free to comment if u have better ideas

SAPGUI Scripting Developer needed

I need someone capable of doing some VB coding for me related to SAPGUI scripting.....I need tight login scripts covering every scenario (user already logged on, max # of sessions, single-signon, etc.) and I need help with the systemfocus statements and understanding how it actually works (see my other post).
I am developing a commercial program and need it to behave as such, and unfortunately my scripting skills and programming skills in general are lacking.
Thanks,

How to increase the number of rows for Entry via Excel in SSM ?

hello
we are facing a scenario where we need to enter the target data for more than 14000 fields.So when we open the excel ad in and trying to upload, it is accepting data for only 500 fields and the rest are not getting displayed.
The condition is that we have to enter data via Entry and Approval and not using a procedure and multiple metric sets is not a feasible option since the number of records is large. How can the number of rows in excel be increased ?
Vijay

Hi Bob
I am facing another problem....
we have designed our model in such a way that we built it using normal procedures but the target values have to be entered using entry and Approval via Excel ad-in..
the problem we are facing is that if we select both the actual and the target measures to load the data via Excel login then the column TARGET is getting greyed out. When we build the same model using cube builder , the column TARGET is not getting greyed out and we are able to enter data there.
Is there any setting changes we need to make inorder to make the Entry and Approval process via Excel behave the same way when the model is built using the Cube builder ? Are there any new notes or a newer version of Excel ad in to resolve this ?

How to call a shell script via ODI

Hi,
I need suggestion on following issues:
1) How to call a shell script via ODI?.. I tried using OSCommand utility .inspite of the execution being successful the data is not written into the new file in the desired format. After processing new file is created in the mentioned location but its empty.
2) I'm calling a procedure in ODI to load data into my fact. But once the fact gets loaded i want to update the log details (num of rows processed,num of rows inserted,num of rows rejected etc) in my log table. I'm planning to use a proc for updating but need to know from where can i find these details. Is there a table in work rep which gives me these info like how we get if we execute an interface.?
Please help me out.. Its urgent
Regards
Surabhi

Hello,
Question 1 appears a little vague, please elaborate. If you're looking to capture a return value from the command execution, you will need to pipe the return value to a file, then read from there.
The execution information is stored in the SNP_STEP_LOG table in the Work Repository. You will need to do a series of joins to retrieve the exact table that was updated. Good luck with this...

How to change maintenance powershell script via GPO?

Per suggestion reposted from here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/6eece9d6-a524-48aa-8e64-7554f0ec9b31/how-to-change-maintenance-powershell-script-via-gpo?forum=winserverGP
Posted at http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-desktop/desktop-shortcuts-to-items-on-network-drives/94eddb27-342b-40fc-9ad4-677ff4ee8ebe?page=9&tm=1403700614489 originally.
There is a very annoying "feature" in Windows 7 called BrokenShortcuts.ps1 which is being called out weekly via maintenance task and if it finds more than 4 "broken" network shortcuts it removes them all. So it means if a user at this
moment is disconnected from the network he will lose all links to shares, network applications sitting on his desktop. Funny that there was no such script on Vista and i don't see this on Win8. On the post i have attached one user suggested to edit this script
and change 4 to 500 or whatever high number. That's fine for one time fix. But i need to do this for 200+ users. This file cannot be simply replaced by a script, so i'm wondering is there any way to do it via GPO?
I have already tried various startup scripts, but i'm not sure which user to put into commands.
I need to run this on startup:
takeown /F C:\Windows\diagnostics\scheduled\Maintenance\TS_BrokenShortcuts.ps1
icacls c:\windows\diagnostics\scheduled\maintenance\TS_BrokenShortcuts.ps1 /grant "some user":F
copy \\share\folder$\TS_BrokenShortcuts.ps1 C:\Windows\diagnostics\scheduled\Maintenance\ /Y

You need to take time to study how Windows does these things. You can control them with GP which is what you asked. The article shows you how to disable elements of the tasks. Each task controls a script. If you disable the task the
script that deletes shortcuts will be stopped. Other maintenance tasks will continue to run.
Most of your problem is that you seem to want someone to provide a magical solution. In technology it is necessary to fully research your issues until you understand all aspects. After fully studying the issue you should understand the possible
solutions if they exist.
You claim to have deployed the patch that Microsoft released to fix the issue. You claim it didn't work. If that is the case then you need to call MS and \p[en a support incident. If Microsoft determines that you are right about the
patch not working you will not be charged for the call.
I know that learning how to support technology is hard and frustrating for newcomers. In time, by using these incidents to learn, you will become a seasoned technician and all of this will seem trivial. Until then we can only suggest that you
do things that most of us are familiar with. We cannot fix your network for you.
I think you haven't really posted in the GP forum but posted a question about GP in the server forum. Try posting in the GP forum.

Edit Cluster Start-stop- and Monitor-Scripts via Bash?

Hi,
is there a way to edit (and sync!) the Cluster-Scripts via CLI?
Regards
Bernd

The short answer is no. The scripts are stored in eDir, and NCS keeps revisions of them internally. The best place to edit them is iManager. Alternatively, you can directly change the eDir attributes for those scripts while cluster is down.
That said, everything that iManager does comes in through a file interface. If you goal is to script resource modification, you can always access the file interface directly.

PythonWin and SAPGUI Scripting

I was hoping that somebody else might have posted some examples of SAPGUI scripting and Python(Win) - but I couldn't find any.
Here is a very small example of SAPGUI Scripting with PythonWin. It might serve as a quick start for others who might also share an interest in Python and GUIscripting.
In short - I've got so far as to get basic manipulation working.
import win32com.client
False, True = 0 , -1
app = win32com.client.Dispatch("Sapgui.ScriptingCtrl.1")
conn = app.OpenConnection("D47", True)
At this point the SAPGUI opens with the initial logon screen of the system. A connection has been created. I enter my user ID and password
>>> print conn.Id
returns /app/con[0]
>>> ses = app.FindById("ses[0]")
>>> ses.CreateSession() "opens up a new session Good!
>>> ses.SendCommand(Command="/nIW31") "starts Tx IW31
>>> ses.StartTransaction(Transaction="IW31") "start IW31 also
>>> window = ses.activeWindow
>>> print window.Id
/app/con[0]/ses[0]/wnd[0]
start SE38...
>>> field = window.FindByName(Name="RS38M-PROGRAMM", Type="GuiCTextField")
>>> print field.Id
/app/con[0]/ses[0]/wnd[0]/usr/ctxtRS38M-PROGRAMM
So - it seems that basic manipulation works OK
Next step is to try some useful...
I'll let you know how it goes..

Incorporated successful code and removed some questions which I've now solved myself. (The successful code covers the questions!).

Further to the above, I've now been able to translate and run VBS recordings within Python with only a few minor changes:
Here is the approach I've taken:
"// Some introductory setup..
import win32com.client
False, True = 0, -1
app = win32com.client.Dispatch("Sapgui.ScriptingCtrl.1")
con = app.OpenConnection("D47", True)
session = app.FindById("ses[0]")
"// Some input steps (reading from CSV files or other sources...
"// Then the actual GUI scripting steps..
Some "translation" hints:
(1) A VBS recording writes session.findById. In Python it is more accurately written as session.FindById
(2) A VBS statement such as session.findById("wnd[0]").resizeWorkingPane 132,25,false
would be written as session.FindById("wnd[0]").resizeWorkingPane( 132, 25, False)
similarly:
session.findById("wnd[0]").sendVKey 0 from VBS would be written session.FindById("wnd[0]").sendVKey( 0 )
Other than that - all seems pretty straight forward..

Is it possible to execute SAPGUI scripts from java program?

Hi everyone..
     I need to develop an java applications that executes the SAPGUI script or any technique that execute set of transaction as client.
     Is it possible to execute SAPGUI scripts from java program? if so, how it can be achieved? is there any other technique to achieve above mention scenario?.
     it will be more helpful, if docs related to that are shared..
     Thanks in advance

Oh, bummer. Would be much more convenient if I could just use iTunes for everything. Can't stand WMP. I wonder if WinAmp might be a good compromise?
Thanks for this answer . . .

Sapgui scripting

Happy to meet Mr Cohr here.
Let me tell you some comments on Sapgui scripting.
a) The code generated is really different depending if your are using a slow or a regular lan connection. It is not that fun, I made some developments to use indexed fields instead of using names.
schnick.schnack.scnock
/1/2/0
where schnick was the second control available
schnack the third son of schnick
schnock the first son of schnack
it remains valid in any case.
b) the management of session number and connnection is not easy.
how do you do that on your own?
regards
Didier

Hi Didier,
the problem with the low-speed-connection is a documented 'feature'. Unfortunately during a low-speed- connection the server does not send us the field names that we use to identify objects. I think according to the documentation Scripting doesn't work at all in low-speed-connection. As you noticed it's not quite that bad. The Scripting will work, but you get different Ids for your elements. These Ids follow the same concept as your solution: We use an index to identify objects on the same level of the hierarchy.
Session and connection numbers are meaningless most of the time. They depend so much on what else you are or were doing in SAP GUI that a script relying on them will fail most of the time.
The sample recorder generates code that will always access the first session of the first connection using app.children(0).children(0). All Ids in the scripts are then relative to this session and do not contain a session or connection number. That's ok if you work with one open session most of the time.
We also have a property app.ActiveSession, which will return the session that is currently the topmost.
If you need to access several sessions then it becomes difficult. You can distinguish sessions by checking the connection information in session.info or the window title, but that requires some code writing.
Best regards,
Christian
