Record SAP GUI scripts
The following steps describe some prerequisites to recording a SAP GUI script.
Configure the application server for scripting
As a security precaution, scripting is disabled by default. In order to record, you need to enable scripting on the application server. From the RZ11 transaction, set the following profile parameters as follows:
- sapgui/user_scripting TRUE
- sapgui/user_scripting_force_notification FALSE
- sapgui/user_scripting_set_readonly FALSE
- sapgui/user_scripting_disable_recording FALSE
