Configuring Your SAP Environment

In order for Worksoft Certify to work with your SAP environment, you need to configure the following:

  • SAP GUI
  • SAP Application Server

Configuring the SAP GUI

You need to configure SAP GUI to support the script recording and playback feature in the Certify SAP Learn tool.

This procedure assumes that the SAP GUI is configured to use the Classic theme.

To configure the SAP GUI to support script recording and playback:

  1. Sign in to SAP.

  2. From the SAP GUI interface, click the Customizing of Local Layout button from the SAP toolbar.

    The Settings menu opens.

  3. Click Options.

    The Options dialog opens.

  4. Click the Scripting tab.

    The Scripting tab opens.

  5. Under the User Settings field, select the Enable Scripting option.

  6. Cancel all other options.

  7. Click Apply.

  8. Click OK.

    The Options dialog closes.

To set your modal properties:

  1. Sign in to SAP.

  2. From the SAP GUI toolbar, select Help > Settings.

    The Personal Settings dialog opens.

  3. Click the F4 Help tab.

  4. In the Display section, select Dialog (modal).

  5. Click the Save button.

Enabling SAP GUI High Speed Connection

The SAP GUI Logon Pad needs to be configured to use the high speed connection for your SAP system to use with Certify.

To configure the SAP GUI to use the high speed connection:

  1. Open the SAP Logon Pad.

  2. Select the SAP system that you will be using with Certify.

  3. Right-click on the SAP system and select Properties.

    If you do not see either option on the SAP Logon Pad, then you do not have the appropriate permissions to change this setting. You will need your SAP System Logon administrator's help to complete this setup.

    The System Properties dialog opens.

  4. Click the Network tab.

  5. In the Network Settings section, select the High Speed Connection (LAN) option.

  6. Click OK.

Configuring the SAP Application Server

Once you have configured the SAP GUI interface to support script recording and playback, the SAP Application Server(s) must be configured to support scripting. Worksoft Certify interacts with the SAP interface through user scripting. Scripting must be enabled in the active SAP application server to use Certify on the server.

You must enable scripting in the permanent SAP configuration for the SAP application server to ensure that scripting support remains enabled when the server restarts. Transaction rz11 enables scripting in the active SAP application server. Transaction rz10 permanently enables scripting in the SAP application server configuration. You can use either transaction code to enable scripting.

You must have administrator rights to the SAP Application Server to make these changes.

To enable scripting with transaction rz11:

  1. From the SAP GUI interface, enter rz11 in the Command field of the SAP toolbar.

  2. Press <Enter>.

    The Maintain Profile Parameter screen opens.

  3. In the Param Name field, enter the following: sapgui/user_scripting.

  4. Click Display.

    The Display Profile Parameter Attributes screen opens.

  5. Click the Change Value button.

    The Change Parameter Value screen opens.

  6. In the New Value field, enter TRUE.

  7. Click the Save button.

  8. Change these additional parameters:

    Parameter

    Value

    sapgui/user_scripting_disable_recording

    FALSE

    sapgui/user_scripting_force_notification

    FALSE

    sapgui/user_scripting_set_readonly

    FALSE

Your SAP system can now interact with Certify.

To enable scripting with transaction rz10:

  1. From the SAP GUI interface, enter rz10 in the Command field of the SAP toolbar.

  2. Press <Enter>.

    The Edit Profiles screen opens.

  3. In the Profile field, select the name of the profile you want to update.

  4. In the Edit Profile section, select the Extended Maintenance option.

  5. Click Change.

    The Maintain Profile screen opens.

  6. In the Parameter Name column, select the sapgui/user_scripting parameter. If it does not exist, create the parameter.

  7. In the Parameter Value column, the parameter value should be set to TRUE. If it is not set to TRUE, edit the value by double-clicking on the parameter or pressing <F2> to open the parameter’s properties.

  8. After you have completed your edits, a change confirmation message opens.

  9. Click Yes.

  10. If you created the parameter or changed the value, restart the instance to update the new value.

    Your SAP system can now interact with Certify.
