#ABAP_Trial #GUI

wj_mcdermott — Sun, 19 Jul 2020 10:22:30 GMT

I have successfully installed Athe SAP Netweaver 7.52 Trial on a new OpenSuse VM. I can use npladm to start and stop sap and have I have both the java GUI and the eclipse ADT tools installed within Linux. However I cannot figure out how to let both eclipse and the GUI know where there instances are. I have seen references to creating configuration files with SLMT but can't find where to run that, any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Start SAP GUI, create a system entry manually, with the coordinates of your Trial system (for instance: IP 127.0.0.1, system number 00, name NPL)

Start Eclipse ADT, choose New ABAP Project, it will propose all the systems defined in the SAP GUI, choose the one you defined previously.

(or if you don't want to use SAP GUI directly, you may directly define the ABAP project within Eclipse ADT by same menu New ABAP Project)

Hi Sandra, thanks for your reply but I can't seem to map any of those elements to the SAP GUI connection Properties dialog.

There are 4 tabs on the dialog, System, Logon, Security, Language and Advanced. On the system tag the fields are System: Message Server: Group Server: (with a big red cross beside it), Router and Speed.

The system field is a drop down but it is empty and will not accept any manual entry, I've tried 00, 01, D00 but as soon as you tab out of it the field clears. That's as far as I can get. Any tips? I'm sure it's going to be something simple. Thanks in advance.
