Web SAPConsole

We are in the process of upgrading from character based to Web SAPConsole. The one issue I am concerned about is bandwidth requirements for browser based RF.
What is a best practice to guide me in allocating and measure how much bandwidth we will need?
Many thanks.

Hello MD,
I think RF Device vendor or network professional are the best sources to answer your query.
Hope this helps.

Web SAPconsole doesn't work from remote host

Hi,
we have a SAPconsole server (Win XP EN, SP2, last windows update). win a full SAPgui 6.40 comp 5 with SP23.
SAPconsole with a telnet server works fine in local and in remote hosts.
Web SAPconsole works fine in local but when I try from a remote host such a PC with IE6 with right url we stay in wait status forever... no error message ora other warning.
Have you have any idea ?

Hello Ganimede Dignan,
although I do not know if XP (which version?) is officially supported it should work, please remember that XP probably has a (crippled: max 10 connections) IIS5 on it and win2003 comes with a IIS6. Since you stated that it works locally it must be something with you IIS, network or firewall security settings.
Please upgrade your web/sapconsole to the latest patch for 640 since there are known concurrency issues for the patches < 25.

Fekke

Web SAPConsole - Enter does not work?

Hi everybody,
hope one can help !
We installed the Web SAPConsole on a Windows Mobile 2005 device. Basicly everything works fine, but when you press <ENTER> in an input field it just goes "beep" and no submit is done.
The application itself works fine if you test it in e.g. the basic Windows XP Internet explorer. If you press ENTER the PAI module is called correctly.
We are using the "webdisplayer.dll" since this is the only one which is compatible with Mobile 2005.
Does anyone know any configuration setting that could fix this?
Thanks in advance for any help!

How did you resolved that?
We have same problem here.
Thanks.

Implementation of Web Enabled RF Transactions (Web SAPConsole)

We are in the process of the SAP ERP implementation supporting RF transactions for Warehouse processes.
SAP's Mobile Data Entry supports both GUI (with graphical user interface) and character-based handheld devices.
Our client is interested in pursuing the GUI based handheld devices and is looking for recommendations, references and implementation experience with particular details on-
1. Guidelines for choosing the RF Handheld device, and hardware partners.
2. Any testimonials involving implementation of Web enables RF Transactions (using Web SAPConsole)
3. The implementation efforts needed (development as well as configuration) and challenges faced for using Web SAPConsole.
4. Detail configuration steps for implementing Web SAPConsole
Thanks

1). Intermec is a successful vendor for RF bar code scanners/barcode label printers
http://www.intermec.com/products/index.aspx
You can also see Teklogix, Telxon, Symbol and LXE devices online
You can also refer to successful barcode printer vedors for Zebra
http://www.zebraprinters.com/
these have almost been a monopoly in successful SAP implementations
There are known problems with other barcode scanners integrated to SAP Webconsoloe
2). Web SAP console implementation references
http://www.erpgenie.com/sapgenie/docs/RFSAPConsoleTips.doc
http://searchsap.techtarget.com/searchSAP/downloads/whitepaper-may06.pdf
3). Effort needed depends on how much customization you are looking for. Its better to use standard SAP transactions rather than going for any custom transactions. Most well know problems in Web console are in the area of mapping function key between RF guns and SAP. You can refer to following thread in this regard.
Re: SAPwebconsole functions keys... urgent!!! .. thanks for tips
4). Configuration steps involved in implementing SAP Web Console
Functional: SPRO->LE/Mobil Data Entry
- Maintain Verification profiles for goods movements for which data to be scanned through RF transactions
- Maintain Barcode Specification and assign barcode types to warehouse
- Define Menus and Screens
- RF queue management for different tasks in warehouse and assign users to queues
Technical: Installation of SAP Web Console Servers and mapping them to devices and SAP. Your BASIS team is responsible for this. They will get the installation/user/RF Mobile Enabling guides with the software.

What is difference between Web Console and Web SAPConsole

Hello,
What is the difference between Web Console and Web SAPConsole.
Thanks,
Milind M.

Hello Milind,
I am not sure that there is any difference between Web console and Web SAP Console.
But of course, there is a lot difference between SAP Console and SAP Webconsole.
Using SAP console you can use mobile data entery with Character support where as with the help of SAP webconsole you can use web supported mobile data entry in which you can use touch screen device.
Hope this helps.

Web SAPConsole - Error: Can't initialize

Hi,
When I start sapcnsl.exe in DOS it works properly.
If I open URL: "http://localhost/Web/isapi_sapcnsl.dll"
in my browser (IE6.0) the following message appears:
"Error: can`t initialize"
He cannot initialize the dll? I'am using a WebAS 6.4-System.
Thx,
Tim

Was this problem every resolved?
We are having a similar problem. Most of the time it responds correctly but several times a day it crashes with the same error. SAP Web console is running on Windows 2003 Server. I usually correct by recycling the worker process in IIS.

SapConsole SAP Note to suppress TO creation std message

Hi All,
We are using SAPCONSOLE not the WEB SAPCONSOLE.
We dont want the standard message that appears after TO creation on console screen.
Kindly suggest any SAPNOTE which can be useful for this purpose.
We want that any further RF tcodes created will not need program changes to perform this operation.
Hence the SAPNote.
Kindly help .Thanks in advance.

sorry, can only log in from work
yes, they can still be tracked. The error_message addition ONLY stops the errors from being displayed. program control returns to you, and you can use the values in the sy-msg* fields to determine what happened. assuming you specify error_message = 99, you would check for sy-subrc = 99, and process the message using sy-msgty, sy-msgno, etc...

Help in RF

Hi everybody.
Please HELP ME.
We have a development for RF. The screen en R/3 is show correctly, but in the movil device is incomplete. Not show all the lines.
Should we do something in R/3 for this or is a trouble in movil device.????
Thanks

It is a common problem on any RF wireless application as is Web console. See following SAP OSS Notes from www.service.sap.com. It can be a problem due to old sessions not being terminated due to various reasons like a user going out of radio frequency range etc., Your support teams can also see transactions SM04, SM12 for terminating such zombie sessions.
Note 730809 - RF user isn't able to cancel own old logon (380399)
This OSS note gives work around for RF locks

Secure Telnet Session...Georgia Softworks Telnet.

Can Web and SapConsole use SSH and stop using Windows Telnet and Goergia Softworks Telnet?
My RF scanners use Georgia Softworks Telnet to connect to Web / SapConsole.

Hi Roberto,
Hopefully not so late...
Note that SAPConsole knows nothing about telnet. SAPConsole is a console application that runs on a PC. It can be started without any telnet (just double click on sapcnsl.exe).
Generally, telnet is just one of some methods to access the SAPConsole machine and run the file sapcnsl.exe. Theoretically, you can use PCanywhere, NetMeeting or any other tool. Telnet is chosen for the connection between RF-devices and SAPConsole machine, because RF-devices have built-in telnet clients and character-cell terminals.
Instead of using telnet servers, there is the web enabled version of SAPconsole called WebSAPconsole, which can use a configured SAP J2EE engine or (Information Internet Services) IIS.
You can have a look at SAP note 1043241 too.

I hope this helps.
All the best,

Visual Composer and Pocket PC

Hi forum,
we have just try to develop a nice model with a bapi for sales order list. We have just deply it and it works fine in Windows PC with IE or Mozzilla.
We have also try with a Microsoft Pocket PC device (Windows Pocket PC 2003 ver 4.21.1088 in EN Language). Into this device we have already installed Adobe Flash Player 8.0.
We try in Pocket PC but...
"I-View is not compatible with your browser, opereting system or device"
(or something like that)
Does SAP support Pocket PC (or other mobile device) with Visual Composer ?
- I think no
Other way ? ... Web SAPconsole ? WebDympro ? other ?
Regards.
Ganimede Dignan.

At least, you can check if the flash file works. Open the iView on an usual PC, right click the iView, open the source code and search for an HTML Tag "Object". in its property "data", you will find the URL for your flash. This URL you can use on your mobile device to access the flash application.
If you want to use your flash application without portal, you can do it this way. But if you can use the Portal or anything in an iView on a mobile device, i don't know.
Best regards,
Christian

SAPConsole can't initialize unexpected exception

I have an intermittent problem with SAPConsole and IIS. Sometimes I can connect fine and other times I get the error u201CError: Canu2019t initializeu201D (version 7.1 patch level 4) or u201CError: Unexpected exceptionu201D (version 6.4 patch 20).
I have installed the two different versions of SAPConsole on two separate servers, both running Windows Server 2003. I first installed 6.4 and tried it with telnet first as I had not installed IIS on this server. SAPCNSL.EXE and Telnet worked well in testing.
I then installed 7.1 on another server where I already had IIS installed. This instance of IIS already had some internal web sites configured, so I followed the installation instructions and added a virtual directory, etc. I connected to the URL per the instructions and it worked. I thought, u201CWow, this is easy.u201D I connected several times both from a Motorola gun with Windows CE and also from my own PC. However, late that afternoon I started getting u201CError: Canu2019t initializeu201D. I stopped and started the web page, the application pool, IIS services, and finally rebooted the server, none of which fixed the problem. Then, after leaving it alone for about 30 minutes, I tried it once more and it worked (for a while). Also, I could run SAPCNSL.EXE at any time and it would always work. Unfortunately, the SAPTrace file only seems to record activity for SAPCNSL.EXE but not ISAPI_SAPCNSL.DLL.
After fighting that server for a day or two, I decided to install IIS on the original server where I had installed SAPConsole 6.4. I hoped a fresh install of IIS with no previous configuration might help. Again, it worked fine at first but soon started giving the error u201CError: Unexpected exceptionu201D intermittently, just like the other server. However, on this version, the SAPTRACE file records activity for both the EXE and the DLL. When I receive the error the trace file looks like this:
17:31:41: This is a trace file for SAPConsole patch 20.2
17:31:41: Fatal Error: Can`t find module "isapi_sapcnsl.dll" in process modules list
17:31:41: Fatal Error: Can`t load Central module "sapcnsl.dll"
17:31:41: Error code: 126
17:31:41: InitApp success: id = 01B03888_15, connection = 00000000, displayer = 00000000, profile = 01B04B30
17:31:41: Error: unexpected exception
17:34:28: Start request for session
17:34:28: Start request for session
17:34:28: Fatal Error: Can`t find module "isapi_sapcnsl.dll" in process modules list
17:34:28: Fatal Error: Can`t load Central module "sapcnsl.dll"
17:34:28: Error code: 126
17:34:28: InitApp success: id = 01B0C3C0_167511, connection = 00000000, displayer = 00000000, profile = 01BD0048
17:34:28: Error: unexpected exception
I have looked in both versions of the ISAPI_SAPCNSL.DDL files and can see that those different error messages are contained in the respective versions, so the error is coming from the DLLs, not IIS. Also, since the EXE file can always connect, I do not believe the problem is from SAP. I have defined various profiles, both by using the SAPLOGON.INI file and by defining the connection manually, to various SAP systems. Once the server starts failing, it does not matter which profile I specify as the default or use as a parameter in the URL, I still get the error. Also, the two servers do not necessarily fail at the same time. That is, one server may start failing while the other continues to connect successfully. The server that has failed will start working again after a varying period time (30 minutes to several hours).
So, from the trace file from the 6.4 version, what do the errors mean? Specifically, u201CCan`t find module "isapi_sapcnsl.dll" in process modules listu201D, u201CCan`t load Central module "sapcnsl.dll"u201D and u201CError code: 126u201D? I have placed entries in the PATH environment variable on both servers.
How can I get the trace file with 7.1 version to work? I suspect I might see similar messages. I read an OSS note about a correction for the trace file not working with the DLL in an early version of the 6.4 version, but was that correction not carried over to the 71 version?
I have tried various configuration changes to IIS, such as selection the options for memory recycling in the application pool. I will make a change and it will seem to have worked and then later it will fail again.
Does any one have any ideas?

Apparently resolved intermittent problem with SAPConsole. Changed IIS configuration on to have no worker process recycling or shutdown of idle worker processes or pinging of worker processes. This was a problem since the guns go to sleep and are then not connected to the network. There is still a connection timeout which I have set to one hour. Also I unselected the enable session state option of the virtual web page which means there is no session timeout. Later found OSS note (1221578) under IIS (not SAPConsole) that recommended the same things but until I knew it was an IIS issue I would not have searched for IIS.

WebSAPConosole and SAPConsole Transactions

I have a question regarding the SAPConsole transactions. I need to develop Good Movement (Non-WM) transactions for SAPConsole using MB_GOODS_MOVEMENT_CREATE. Does anyone know SAP Best Practice for doing this? Is it to copy the R/3 transactions (MB1B, MB1C, MB01, etc.) and modify them for the SAP Console screens or would it be to build the user interface from scratch and call the function based the user input into the newly developed screens. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Sorry, I could not find a better forum for this topic.
Scott

Hi Scott!
Unfortunately you cannot copy MB*(Goods movement txns) or any std R/3 txns and convert it directly to SAP Console Txns OR Web SAP Console Txns.First of all when you convert to SAP Console Txns, SAP Console is Character Based so the copy doesnot workout.For Webconsole the controls are limitied so you cannot convert the SAP GUI Screen to a Console Txn Screen.Also the screen sizes are different and you cannot fit in all the screen elements you see in the SAP GUI.
The best way is first make sure what fields you have to populate when you post the Goods Movement.Make sure for the console txns, you make the UI design accordingly(For SAP Console / Web Console transactions the screen size is 16x20 OR 8x40).Collect the data reqd for the Function Module OR BAPI via the SAP Console Transaction Screens you design and then you call the BAPI or FM to post the data.
I am not sure in which SAP version you are.I would recommend you to use BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE instead of MB_GOODS_MOVEMENT_CREATE.
Let me know if you have any additional questions.Hope this answers for now.
Thx

SAPWebConsole - dropdown field works in ABAP but does not work on Web

Hi All,
I am writing an RF transaction in ABAP using regular dialog programming. My transaction works fine in the GUI. But it does not work OK when I access the transaction over the web (using IE) via SAPWebConsole.
My issue is that on the SAPGUI I have a dropdown box that is populated with entries and I can choose an entry but on the same transaction on IE I cannot choose any entries in the same field as it does not have a dropdown option.
Am I doing something wrong here in the ABAP? Am I assuming incorrectly that SAPWebConsole can have dropdown lists?
Thanks,
N.
I know that this is stictlynotan ABAP issue but it does have possible overlap.

Hi Niall!
WebSAPConsole has in it's own limitations with regards to Dialog Programming Development, but a much better version than SAPConsole(Text Based).You cannot have drop down on WebSAPConsole on RF Transaction,pl suppress it in you dialog programming, both F1 & F4.Pl look at the Supported Features in the WebSAPConsole USers Guide.
Let me know if you have any additional questions regarding this?
Thanks

Are WebSAPConsole and Web Console are two different offerings from SAP ?

We have been using SAP Console based on Telnet to provide RF functionality and I know that SAP is now delivering WebSAPConsole which is an enhanced SAPConsole
to support web-equipped devices.
With Mobile Infrasturture, SAP is delivering WebConsole with 6.40 WAS standard and If I understand correctly, role of this webconsole is to help deploy ME clients on the handhelds...etc.
Please comment and correct me if I am wrong ?
Thanks,
Raja

SAP WebConsole is base on WAS architecture.
