Configuration SAPGUI/Java for Eclipse

ralf_wenzel_heuristika — Sat, 09 Nov 2013 12:20:25 GMT

Hi,

Mac OS X (Lion), Java GUI 7.30, Eclipse Kepler with ADT. I do have a properly working entry in SAPGUI / Java for my HANA Trial but when I want to connect with Eclipse I have to choose one of the entries in my Java GUI and Eclipse does complain that there is no message server. But for HANA trial I don't need a message server (and - for good reasons - I don't have one ).

Why does that work in JAVAGUI and not in Eclipse?

I have used your suggestions re adding the @include and have managed to get to a point where I can connect to the Application Server through the Java client and i can browse the SAP GUi Java connections in Eclipse. Trouble is that it is not pulling the correct / all fields into the connection properties.

i.e. Instance number, SAPRouter, Server are blank.

could you send me your connections- and settings-file? I can not input a server name in field "System".... you can anonymize ip addresses, of course.

mail address ralf.wenzel@heuristika.de

Thanks in advance

Edit: The problem ist still UNSOLVED..... I know, what a message server does, but I need a configuration for the Cloud-Appliance-Thing, where I only have one server - the application server.

Please! I cannot believe that there is noone other with a mac, trying to run JavaGUI on (HANA) Cloud Appliance Server....

I have had the same problem that Eclipse was not showing up my connections (Mac OS X 10.9.2 with Kepler). After inserting a message server and router include like this

@MESSAGESERVER = /Users/$HOME/Library/Preferences/SAP/messageservers.txt

@ROUTER = /Users/$HOME/Library/Preferences/SAP/routers.txt

and some editing back and force it works finally 🙂 The message server include has my hosts entries. I have found at least one system with a message server port 36xx. After this I have created an new entry within the SAPGUI and suddenly all my many connections (without message server and defined with conn=-String) were available within Eclipse.

Now I am facing the next problem that the SAPGUI Java is not found by Eclipse! 😞 It is needed for Dictionary access and debugging...

It is even more simple, described in OSS note 1953375. An empty file messageserver.txt will help.

Re: Configuration SAPGUI/Java for Eclipse

ralf_wenzel_heuristika — Thu, 27 Mar 2014 18:30:10 GMT

OMG - I have:

* An empty messageserver.txt

* an empty routers.txt

* a settings-file like this:

@GLF_showDetailCol = "1"

@GLF_ColumnState = "0 / 75"

@logonFrame_2_X = "185"

@logonFrame_2_Y = "44"

@frameWidth = "1082"

@frameHeight = "749"

@overwrite = "false"

@INCLUDE = "file:///Users/ralf/Library/Preferences/SAP/connections"

@MESSAGESERVER = file:///Users/ralf/Library/Preferences/SAP/messageserver.txt

* a connections-file like this:

A4H:conn=/H/xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/S/3299&clnt=001&user=DEVELOPER&pass=zzzzzzzzz&lang=DE&system_name=A4H

NPL:conn=/H/xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/S/3200&clnt=001&user=DEVELOPER&pass=zzzzzzzzz&lang=DE0&expert=true

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx = IP-Adress of my SAP Cloud Appliance

zzzzzzzzzz = password

This does not work and I don't know why.... :-(((

JavaGUI: Works

Eclipse: "Logon to system NPL failed (Connection to system "NPL" is currently not available)" - even if I logged in via JavaGUI

Hi Ralf,

now I have the same problem with a different system . I seems that actually the sap router info is ignored by ADT. It doesn't matter how it is specified (directly with conn= and/or a separate router entry).

We should open an OSS note.

Unfortunately, I can't, I do not have an S-User.....

I have opened an OSS message. We will see what happen...

Hi Andreas,

I just discussed the topic with the Development Team. Issue is known and will be fixed with the next patch of ADT version 2.24.

Short outlook: We are working on a solution to define the SAP System connection directly in eclipse so that we don't have the dependency to the SAP GUI anymore. Hope this will overcome all the issues we have especially with Java GUI.

Sorry for that,

Regards,

Thomas.

HI @all,

I'm facing the same issue but I have a work a round for this...

here my files:

Connections:

XYZ CRM:conn=/H/<IP>/S/32<Instancenumber>&clnt=<client>&user=<user>&lang=DE&systemName=XYZ

Message.txt

XYZ:/M/<IP>/S/36<Instancenumber>

make sure that the settings - file points the message.txt ( SAP GUI -> Preferences -> Configuration - logon )

@INCLUDE = "/Users/<USER>/Library/Preferences/SAP/connections"

@MESSAGESERVER = "file:///Users/<USER>/Library/Preferences/SAP/message.txt"

The message.txt I have to create manually.

Now it works for me....

kind regards

Micha

Hi Micha,

this will not work if your connection is depending to a sap router! (port 3299) Simple connections will work if a dummy message server file is existing.

Hi Thomas,

is it possible to get a hot fix in the near future? Without the sap router parameter "ABAP in Eclipse" is unusable for many systems.

Best regards

Hi Andreas,

the patch (2.24.2) providing the required correction has been release on the Service Market Place on Monday. We are about the release it on the Update Site too.

Best Regards

Hello Felix,

many thanks for the quick response. I have updated to 2.24.2 now. But after that the ADT does not work any more (even the systems without sap router). I have tried than to remove all ADT stuff and reinstall it again without any positive affect. Then I have removed the previously working projects. The problem persists without any existing project. I will now go back to 2.24.1 losing my working project settings. Please advice.

Regards

Andreas

Hi Andreas,

it looks like the Plug-in containing the actual correction has been marked/packaged with a wrong version number, which leads to an inconsistent installation. We are about to correct that and release a new patch.

We will inform you, once the new patch is available.

Update: April 25th

Patch 2.24.3 is available and solves the inconsistent packaging issue. So you can test the correction for the a router in the connection string.

Best Regards

Felix

Hi Felix,

Patch 2.24.3 is working again like 2.24.1. Now a router string like /H/xx.xx.xx.xx/S/3299 is shown in config screen but it is not working at all. The SAPGUI JAVA works with this entry without any problems. I am sorry but the problem is not solved .

Best regards

Andreas

Hi Felix,

It seems that Patch 2.24.3 has a new bug. The connection entry name ist now used for system ID too. Because of this mismatch the debugger is not working any more.

Update:

There is a workaround using &systemName=XXX

New Bug: Connections with specified message server does not work any more. Value is ignored (field is empty).

Best regards

Andreas
