Executing SAP GUI Script From a Web Page

Go to solution

I have an issue when trying to execute some javascript (sap gui script) from a webpage.

When the javascript is executed I get the message:

automation server unable to create object.

However, this exact same javascript when placed in a text file and double-clicked executes just fine through the windows scripting host.

Does anyone have an example of gui script code executing from a webpage? Or any ideas on why it isn't working from the webpage? Both scenarios should be executing the code on the local machine through WSH.

Below is the javascript as well as the webpage executing the javascript:

SAPGUI SCRIPT

if (typeof(application) == "undefined")

{

sapgui = GetObject("SAPGUI");

application = sapgui.GetScriptingEngine;

}

if (typeof(connection) == "undefined")

{

connection = application.children(0);

}

if (typeof(session) == "undefined")

{

session = connection.children(0);

}

if (typeof(WScript) != "undefined")

{

WScript.connectObject(session, "on");

WScript.connectObject(application, "on");

}

session.findById("wnd[0]").maximize();

session.findById("wnd[0]/tbar[0]/okcd").text = "/nzsd1067";

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

session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/ctxtVBAK-KUNNR").text = "6343";

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

Hi Shaun,

the SAP GUI Scripting API adds a reference to SAP GUI to the Running Object Table. Unfortunately GetObject will not access the Running Object Table when you call it from inside IE. This only works in the Windows Script Host.

In SAP GUI 6.40 there is a way to work around this:

Set Wrp = CreateObject ("SapROTWr.SapROTWrapper")

Set SapGui = Wrp.GetROTEntry ("SAPGUI")

Best regards,

Christian

Hello,

I think it is a browser security issue. In what Zone is the Website you call? Internet/Intranet/Trusted Sites? And what Security settings are made for the appropiate Zone?

Regards

Gregor

Hi Christian,

How exactly does the syntax in the JavaSript coding need to be changed then, e.g. the following doesn't seemed to work:

if (typeof(application) == "undefined")

{

Set Wrp = CreateObject ("SapROTWr.SapROTWrapper");

Set SapGui = Wrp.GetROTEntry ("SAPGUI");

application = sapgui.GetScriptingEngine;

}

Thanks, Bernd

Hi Bernd,

the following code works in VBS. If you run saplogon.exe you'll get a message box saying '/app'.

Set Wrp = CreateObject ("SapROTWr.SapROTWrapper")

Set SapGui = Wrp.GetROTEntry ("SAPGUI")

Set application = sapgui.GetScriptingEngine

MsgBox application.id

I haven't tried it on a web page, but I don't see why it shouldn't work there. Ok, maybe the MsgBox is command is not available.

Best regards,

Christian

Hi Stefaan,

there is no way to do this with a true HTML web page. However it should work if you use an HTML application file (HTA extension). It depends on your use case whether this is applicable.

Best regards,

Christian

Thanks,

I was not aware of the existance of .hta html applications.

By just renaming the .htm file to .hta, the script indeed worked fine!
