Call SAP Transaction from outside SAP GUI

[Former Member]

Hi,

is it possible to call a SAP Transaction from outside SAP GUI?

For example from within an .NET or Java Application. The result should be that SAP GUI pops up and has already the required transaction loaded (maybe even with parameters filled)

Any ideas how to do this?

Best regards,

MS

In the application toolbar., click shortcut icon(besides create session icon) ., and select type as transaction and enter the required transaction and save it. you can use it as per your requirement., like., you can send it as an attachment to email and double click will open sap gui.

Hello Manuel Schlestein ,

You can do this. But you need to find the ITS Transaction URL. this requires the valid user id password for login to the SAP GUI during the time of invoke call.

Also you need to configure the IST Web Gui in your SAP system. this coniguration is the BASIS task.

you can check the below link for more details about the configuration:-

Hope this answers your question.

Thanks,

Not quite... this is not going to open the SAP GUI for Windows. As far as I know there are two possible ways and both don't let you pass parameters:

1. Create a shortcut referencing a transaction as stated above. This will open SAP GUI for Windows. You'll have to create a shortcut for each transaction you wanna reference.

2. Get the HTML GUI Service up and running. Create a Service with the transaction as GUI parameter for each transaction you wanna use. Each service represents a link and will open the defined transaction in HTML GUI.

So far I havent seen any other way to open SAP GUI for Windows and pass the transaction code + parameter...
