JAVAGUI Web Install Question

[Former Member]

Hello,

We are pushing the JAVA GUI through Portal to run some of the ECC Transactions through JAVA GUI. The performance with HTML GUI is really bad in our situation.

But we do not want the users access the ECC directly without Portal.

Question:

1. How do we disable the "Desktop shortcut" when we push the Java GUI through Portal?

2. How do we install a silent Install?. If possible we not not want any user interaction.

3. Is there arny Optional componentsin the JAVAGUI libraries which can be removed so that what is being pushed from the Portal is kept to the minimum for Transaction rendering and printing locally. No fancy features.

We looked at the help documents - there are options for the manual command line istall but no info on customizing the Web Install.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Sorry. Stll not clear where to add the customizing installation parameters mentioned in the help documents.

The following parameters seems to fix our issue.

disableui

silent

noshortcuts

We are using the standard SAP Transaction iView in Portal. This Transaction iView uses the JavaGUI. When this iView is invoked in the Portal the JAVAGUI installation is started.

Do we have to add something in the iView or something in the JNLP file in the JAVAGUI installtion library?

Appreciate your response.

Thanks.

The customization parameters need to be added as parmeters to the <applet> tag in the HTML file. The install of the GUI provides demo.htm. Within this file add parameters:

<applet codebase = "."
	    archive  = "GuiStartS.jar"
	    code     = "com.sap.platin.GuiApplet2"
	    width    = "100%"
	    height   = "100%"
	    alt      = "Your browser understands the &lt;APPLET&gt; tag ...

      <param name = "scriptable"     value = "false">
      <param name = "disableui"       value = "true">
      <param name = "noshortcuts" value = "true">
      <param name = "jnlp"           value = "platin.jnlp">
      <param name = "trace"	     value = "">
      <param name = "tracefile"      value = "">
      <param name = "connectionData" value ="conn=/H/YOUR SERVER HERE/S/3200&amp;clnt=100">

I believe instead of using a transaction iView you can point the iView to this modified HTML file. This should launch the SAPGUI as an applet, and the jnlp will do version checking/push of current version on the server with no shortcuts on the desktop/menu and without user interaction. The only action the user would have to take is to accept the certificate to allow installation.

This works for SAPGUI Java 7.2 rev 1 and 2. The demo.html file does not launch correctly as an applet in revision 3. Hopefully this is just a but and will be fixed in the next revision.

Hello,

please have a look at the manual coming with SAP GUI for Java. [Chapter 8.3 Web Server Administration - Applet HTML Reference|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/user-interface-technology/sap-gui-family/sap-gui-java-documentation/sap%20gui%20for%20java%20environment%20-%20documentation/doc/applet/htmlref.htm] should give an answer to 1. and 2.

The size of SAP GUI for Java 7.20 has already been reduced significantly compared to the 7.10 version be removing obsolete components.

Messing around with the installed components might caused unexpected behavior or failure and is not supported. Sorry about that. So the answer to 3. is "no".

Best regards
