SAPGui for Java Configuration - How to ?

[Former Member]

Hi,

just downloaded SAPGui for Java 7.20 rev4 and installed it on a local solaris box to quickly show the solaris guys what they are supporting on their machine. Unfortunately configuration (adding a sessions) seems to be quite complicated. Reading the docs i noted that i have to prepare several configuration files to be able to add a new session to the gui.

Isn't there any convenient way like the SAPlogon on windows where you just specify the location of your SAP message server, select the logon group and that's it ?

On windows it's like 10 seconds to configure a new session but using the Platingui i cancelled the demo after 15 minutes not been able to add a session.

Any hints for a quick configuration ?

Thx.

Hello,

the connection strings to be entered when not using the configuration files are described in chapter 9.1 Technical Background - Connection Strings of the manual of SAP GUI for Java.

In your case, you need to know the message server, its port-number and the group name.

Then you will have a connection string like

conn=/M/messageserver.company.com/S/4253/G/GROUPNAME

on the "advanced" tab of the "new connection" dialog.
