Start a Script

Johannes3 — Tue, 09 Jul 2024 05:48:01 GMT

Hello,
I created a SAP Script with the recording function.
To start the script I can use the playback function or click directly on the saved vbs file. Both work for me. For a colleague, however, the script only works completely if he uses the playback function. If he selects the same vbs file directly, via file explorer, the script starts but does not finish. However, there is also no error message.
I wonder if this is a setting problem. I have already searched through various SAP and operating system settings but have not yet found anything.
And no, using the playback function is not an option.
Thank you!

I found the solution. Here for everybody with the same Problem:

check your Windows Script Host settings.
You can find these settings here:
Start -> Run -> Wscript

My colleague had a check mark at 'Stop script after specified number of seconds'. Remove that check mark and it works fine.

Hello @Johannes3,

as tiny addendum here a link to post which describes how an SAP GUI Script is executed.

Best regards
