The sapgui_open_connection_ex function opens a connection to the server defined by the connection_string. The function sets the output parameter connection_id. This parameter is used in sapgui_select_active_connection.

sapgui_open_connection_ex should be followed by sapgui_logon.

## Return Values

This function returns LR_PASS (0) on success or LR_FAIL (1) on failure.

Note: If a logon or connection in a script fails, the script replay is aborted. You can allow the script replay to continue despite a failed logon or connection by enabling the following setting in the runtime settings: SAPGUI > General > Advanced > Disable abort on logon/connection.

## Parameterization

You can parameterize all string (char type) arguments.
