SAP GUI protocol

The SAP GUI Vuser script typically contains several SAP transactions which make up a business process. A business process consists of functions that emulate user actions. Open the Step Navigator to see each user action as a Vuser script step.

In a typical recording of an SAP GUI client, include the opening of the connection and login in the first section, vuser_init This section is not repeated.

Note: The Open Connection step uses one of the connection names in the SAP Logon Descriptions list. If the specified connection name is not in the list, the Vuser looks for a server with that name.

 

In the Actions section, the recorded API functions represent typical user operations such as menu selection and the setting of a checkbox.

In a typical recording, the final section, vuser_end, contains the logging off steps.

When recording a multi-protocol script for both SAP GUI and Web, VuGen generates steps for both protocols. In the Script view, you can view both sapgui and web functions.

The following example illustrates a multi-protocol recording in which the SAP GUI client opens a web control. Note the switch from sapgui to web functions.

Example:  

sapgui_tree_double_click_item("Use as general WWW browser, REPTITLE", 
    "shellcont/shell", 
    "000732", 
    "REPTITLE", 
    BEGIN_OPTIONAL, 
        "AdditionalInfo=sapgui1020", 
    END_OPTIONAL);
...
sapgui_set_text("", 
    "http:\\\\yahoo.com", 
    "usr/txtEDURL", 
    BEGIN_OPTIONAL, 
        "AdditionalInfo=sapgui1021", 
    END_OPTIONAL);
...
web_add_cookie("B=7pt5cisv1p3m2=;b=2; DOMAIN=www.yahoo.com");
