SAP Outlook Connectivity

Hi Experts,

We've  been asked to design a soln that enables connectivity between SAP and MSOutlook.

The requirement is to send an email to the outlook mailbox of a particular user that has a link embedded in the mail. Upon clicking this link SAP GUI should pop up and take the user to a particular TCode in SAP.

The issue is we run SAP through Citrix terminal server.

We are able to meet the requirements if the user has SAPGUI installed at the desktop.

However, launching SAP through Citrix terminal server remains a challenge.

Any ideas on that?

Thanks and Regards,

Ravi Bhatnagar

Hi, to pop up with SAP GUI, to a specific TCODE, it's really a big challenge, you'd better choose Web Dynpro for your requirement.

Hi Chun,

Actually we've managed to popup the SAP GUI. However, the problem is that this process would need the SAPGUI.ini to be on the desktop of the user.

We need a soln for users who log on to Citrix and then connect to SAP.

By the way, can you explain the WebDynpro soln a bit?

Thanks and Regards,

Ravi Bhatnagar

Hi Ravi,

  With webdynpro, you can just put the link to the webdynpro application, and put your function into the WD application. If it's SAP standard Tcode, you can use ITS, which run on SAP WebAS. To the end user, have SAP user account is enough.

Google -> transaction shortcut Citrix site:scn.sap.com finds this post (and many others): http://scn.sap.com/thread/473543

Unfortunately it looks like this is not feasible.
