Configuration SAPGUI/Java for Eclipse

[ralf_wenzel_heuristika]

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?

Hi Ralf

Did you get this to work?

Regards

[ralf_wenzel_heuristika]

No, I am still searching vor a solution :-///

[Former Member]

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.

[ralf_wenzel_heuristika]

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...

[Former Member]

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

[ralf_wenzel_heuristika]

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

[Former Member]

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.

[ralf_wenzel_heuristika]

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

[Former Member]

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

[ThFiedler]

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.

[Former Member]

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

Felix

[Former Member]

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

With old ADT 2.24.1 systems without sap router work again.

[Former Member]

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

[Former Member]

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

[Former Member]

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

[joerg_mann]

Hi Andreas

answered also via CSS requesting support information collector file.

In your recent posting you state that the debugger is not working, so I assume the connection the backend via router now works (at least)?

Best regards

Jörg

[Former Member]

Hi Jörg,

I am sorry but it does not work. The router value appears now at the screen but there is no connection.

The debugger problem occurs (New with 2.24.3 only) with a different system without a router spec. if you create new project without using &systemName=XXX. Then the system name is equal to connection name and the debugger has name mismatch!.

Best regards

Andreas

[rainer_schuler5]

Hi Andreas,

what if you don't use "&systemName=XXX" but rename your connection in a way that the first three letters are the system ID.

Hi Felix,

the problem about ignoring the router string does not effect solely the ABAP tools but also others.

For instance, if I try to connect to a SAP repository via Team->Share in order to get the current state of an UI5 project, eclipse is ignoring the router string.

This is even more irritating than the bug in the ABAP tools! While I can develop ABAP using the JAVA GUI but there is no way to develop UI5 outside the SE80.

System that need a router string cannot be used in eclipse by now.

BR,

[Former Member]

Hi Rainer,

this could work but I have up to 15 system with my customers, some with up to 5 clients. This is not my preferred solution!

Best regards

Andreas

[rainer_schuler5]

I updated to ADT 2.24.5 and now it's working.

Moreover I updated the UI5 tools to the new version 1.20.7 and now it's possible to connect to the repository.

So I'm happy.

Sorry to bring this old post up. But im not getting my eclipse to get connected to my SAP Netweaver ABAP system.

In eclipse it just shows an empty window like this:

is here any expert who can guide me how to get the fields filled up correctly? Because when i now try to logon to this system it says "Parameter ("ashost") is missing".

Thanks for your Help!

[rainer_schuler5]

Hi Sascha,

in your screenshot the field for application server (ashost) is empty.

Please enter the IP or the name of the server. have a look at your SAPLogon.

Good luck,
Rainer

[Former Member]

Well,

actually there is my Problem.. i connect through SAPGUI Java via Expert Mode, the Connection String looks like this:

conn=/H/saprouterIP/H/applicationserverIP&systemName=E01

When i try to fill the connection via the normal Settings my System-Tab is empty. And i don't really get it how to fill this correct.

Can you guide me how to achieve this? I switched from Windows to Mac and on Windows it was so easy but on Mac this configuration blows my mind.

Thanks for your fast response!

Sascha

[rainer_schuler5]

Hi,

if conn=/H/saprouterIP/H/applicationserverIP&systemName=E01 is your router string, then enter the following into the fields:

- SAProuter-String: /H/saprouterIP/H/

- Anwendungsserver: applicationserverIP

You must enter something into "Instanznummer". Try 00.

Isn't there anything in your router string like/S/32xx...? Then xx is your instance number.

Good luck,

Rainer

[Former Member]

The Fields are not ready for input. The fields are just coming from the SAPLogon Settings.

I know all the Details for the Server (Router IP, Application Server IP, Ports, Instance Numbers, etc.) but im unable to fill them correctly in the SAPGUI for Java. And Eclipse is reading this settings. 😕

[sebastian_wolf]

Hi Sascha,

basically, the manual ABAP Project creation should normally enable you to start developing without having a proper SAP GUI system entry. However, the screenshot looks like you are using another functionality (header "Share Project") - maybe this re-use feature (UI5?) doesn't support this yet and you really need a SAP GUI entry.

Anyway, does the manual SAP GUI entry work if you try to logon to the backend directly? I'm asking because the manual string /H/saprouterIP/H/appServerIP&systemName=ABC looks like that the /S/ sections are missing (Rainer already mentioned it).

Please try to create the string in expert mode as follows:

conn=/H/<router_address>/S/<router_port>/H/<app_server_address>/S/<app_server_port>

Example:

conn=/H/my-router.company.de/S/3299/H/my-app-server.company.de/3200

If you don't need a router, just use a single combination of /H/ and /S/ entries. Please also refer to the SAP GUI for Java manual for the connection string.

As I don't need/have a router here, I could just test the single app server/port combination on my Mac here - ABAP Project creation was working fine with a single /H/-/S/ combination.

Best regards, Sebastian

[Former Member]

Yes you are right, this window comes from UI5.

If I create an ABAP Project and maintain the entry manually it works perfect. But for an UI5 Project unfortunately i need the correct configuration in SAPLogon.

I tried your settings but after that i got Route Permission denied Error from the SAPRouter, with my Setting it works just fine in SAPGUI for Java.

Hm,.. to bad that no one has an idea

Best regards,

Sascha

[sebastian_wolf]

Hi Sascha,

in this case, please open an OSS ticket to UI5 with an explanation of your issues - I'm sure they can help you out.

Best regards, Sebastian

[rainer_schuler5]

Hi,

I just checked on my Linux system.

SAPLogon entry is "conn=/H/rz3.mycompany.com/S/3299/H/10.2.2.117/S/3280"

When I create a new ABAP-project the entries are imported correctly:

Application Server 10.2.2.117

Instance number 80

Router-String: /H/rz3.mycompany.com/S/3299

I use SAPGui 7.40 and Eclipse Luna

Maybe this helps.

Good luck!
