How to work with SAP GUI?

[Alexlyblue]

Dear All:

I've already read many posts about SAP and AutoIT v3, even this SAP UDF, Automating SAP using SAP's GUI Scripting COM object .

But my question is I have no right to use SAP GUI Script, so I can't use sean's Library.

Might I ask how to get enough Information of SAP-GUI controls without SAP GUI Script?

Many thanks

Aber

I had to automate the SAP GUI myself - until the problem was solved by exporting the data to a text file yb the SAP Guys.

After doing some research I came to the conclusion that the SAP UDF you mentioned above is the only proper way to automate SAP.

If your company wants you to do the job by automating SAP they have to provide the tools you need (enable SAP scripting etc.)

Hello Aber and Water,

there are a few ways to communicate with an SAP system. SAP GUI Scripting is only one to automate your user input.

My suggestion is the same as Waters: Talk with your admin to enable SAP GUI Scripting on the application server you need. With the TAC RZ11 he must set the value from the parameter sapgui/user_scripting to TRUE. And activate the option Scripting in your local SAP GUI Logon. If it is also not possible, talk with your admin too. There is no way around this security options.

You can use SAP GUI without enabled SAP GUI Scripting, you find a few (older) examples in my knowledge collection - Tips for AutoIt. But it is not comfortable and if there are some changes in the UI, it could be problematically.

With AutoIt you can also use the SAP GUI ActiveX components or the SAP NetWeaver RFC SDK, if you know the RFC function modules or BAPI interfaces.

Cheers

Hello, Stefan

I wonder if it is possible to manipulate the field values ​​of a transaction through the AutoIt, it would be asking too much if you post an example? Or some site that teaches how to do.

Note: Through GuiXT could see that the field names and their values ​​appear on the screen, this is what I ask above.

Thankful.

Use AutoIt's Window Info Tool to check if SAP uses Controls that can be accessed by AutoIt.

Hello Márcio,

sorry for my late answer.

With SAP GUI Scripting you can automatically manipulate nearly all objects of SAP GUI for Windows, also field values.

Here an example how to use the ok-field:

;-Begin-----------------------------------------------------------------

  ;-Variables-----------------------------------------------------------
    Dim $SAPROT, $SapGuiAuto, $application, $connection, $session

  $SAPROT = ObjCreate("SapROTWr.SAPROTWrapper")
  If Not IsObj($SAPROT) Then
    Exit
  EndIf

  $SapGuiAuto = $SAPROT.GetROTEntry("SAPGUI")
  If Not IsObj($SapGuiAuto) Then
    Exit
  EndIf

  $application = $SapGuiAuto.GetScriptingEngine()
  If Not IsObj($application) Then
    Exit
  EndIf

  $connection = $application.Children(0)
  If Not IsObj($connection) Then
    Exit
  EndIf

  $session = $connection.Children(0)
  If Not IsObj($session) Then
    Exit
  EndIf

  $session.findById("wnd[0]/tbar[0]/okcd").text = "/nse16"
  $session.findById("wnd[0]").sendVKey(0)

;-End-------------------------------------------------------------------

To analyze SAP GUI and to find out the IDs and names of the objects look here http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-32728 and here http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-40265 > cool AutoIt analyzer.

Hope it helps a little bit.

Cheers

;-Begin-----------------------------------------------------------------

 

  ;-Variables-----------------------------------------------------------

    Dim $SAPROT, $SapGuiAuto, $application, $connection, $session

 

 

  If Not IsObj($SAPROT) Then

 

  $SAPROT = ObjCreate("SapROTWr.SAPROTWrapper")

  EndIf

 

 

  If Not IsObj($SapGuiAuto) Then

  $SapGuiAuto = $SAPROT.GetROTEntry("SAPGUI")

  EndIf

 

 

  If Not IsObj($application) Then

  $application = $SapGuiAuto.GetScriptingEngine()

  EndIf

 

 

  If Not IsObj($connection) Then

  $connection = $application.OpenConnection("XXXXXXXXX")

  EndIf

 

;  $session = $connection.Children(0)

;  If Not IsObj($session) Then

;    Exit

;  EndIf

 

  $session.findById("wnd[0]/tbar[0]/okcd").text = "/nse16"

  $session.findById("wnd[0]").sendVKey(0)

 

;-End-------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

------ Error Msg ----------

 

"C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Include\SAP_GenFunc.au3" (56) : ==> Variable must be of type "Object".:

Can somebody help me, please.

Hello everyone

I got the resolution.  All I did is launch the SAP Logon pad as "Run as Administrator".  I tried on Windows 8 (Laptop).

Here is the code

Local $sapapp, $sap_connection, $sap_session

Local $sap_connection_url = "XX_XXX_XXXX"

 

If Not IsObj($sapapp) Then

$sapgui = ObjGet("SAPGUI")

$sapapp = $sapgui.GetScriptingEngine

EndIf

 

 

If Not IsObj($sap_connection) Then

$sap_connection = $sapapp.Openconnection($sap_connection_url, True)

EndIf

 

 

If Not IsObj($sap_session) Then

$sap_session = $sap_connection.Children(0)

EndIf
