SAPGUI Java 7.20 Rev 1 for Mac - unable to create new connections

Former Member

Greetings,

I am on Snow Leopard, I just installed SAPGUI 7.20 Rev 1. When I try to create a new connection, the "System" tab has a Red X and I am unable to type anything into it.

Also, when I change the Description, the "Save" and "Save As" buttons are still greyed out and I am unable to click them.

I tried going through the documentation and made sure that I have Apple's latest Java updates etc.

Obviously I am doing something wrong somewhere. If someone will point me in the right direction I would be much obliged.

Thank you and cheers

Mohan

You can try these steps. I am also using a Mac (OSX Lion).

1) Create a new connection in SAPGUI for Java 7.20 rev 7

2) Type a description and go to the Advanced-tab

3) Enable the Expert Mode

4) Type: conn=/H/YourServer/S/3200

5) Save your settings

6) Click on Connect and have fun!

You can follow this steps by a direct connection with the server (e.g. IDES) or with the virtual machine (e.g. VMware).

Hello,

you might want to read chapters "7. Administration" and "9.1 Connection Strings" of the manual coming with the SAP GUI for Java installation.

In case you want to reuse the configuration of SAP GUI for Windows, there are conversion scripts available on the [SAP GUI family page|] or directly [here|?rid=/library/uuid/c00de625-24e8-2d10-67b3-f79dad1a27c7].

Best regards

P.S. The latest version currently available is SAP GUI for Java 7.20 rev 5
