SAP GUI Scripting Wizzard Windows7 does not work

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

I am quite a novice when it comes to SAP GUI scripting (let alone any other development), therefore my question might be rather stupid. After my PC was migrated from XP to Windows 7 it is no longer possible to use the SAP GUI scripting wizzard. When you select it from the menue, simply nothing happens.

Does anyone have an idea what I need to do to have this useful tool back on my PC?

We are running SAP GUi 7.1

Thanks for your help

Theo

Hello Theo,

I had the same problem and solve it with the installing of the MS Agents - look [here|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/969168/en] and [here|http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms695784.aspx].

Hope it helps.

Cheers

Hello,

in my case, the menu item Script Development Tools was not available at all.

SAP note 1633639 (Script Development Tool disabled from Windows 7 - https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1633639) suggests to wait for SAP GUI 7.20 patch level 10 which is expected to be shipped in week 02/2012 (no other patch levels are planned for SAP GUI versions older than 7.20 according to SAP note 1053737).

Of course, you can still install the Microsoft Agent to your computer (MS Hotfix 969168 - http://support.microsoft.com/hotfix/KBHotfix.aspx?kbnum=969168), as Stefan has already mentioned.

Best regards

  Here is SAP GUI wizard replacement tool...its in auto IT - enjoy

http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/149540-sapwizardudf/

I had the tech guys here install ,  the latest GUI patch level 15,

and the script development tools not working issue has been fixed

They (SAP?) removed the 'script development tools' menu option!?

I have not installed the MS hotfix, but

My question is,  it true the 'Script development tools' is gone?

Other methods

a) This (free) non SAP solution seems to work however...any other ideas?

Scripting Tracker Lite

http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-32728

b) The Activate GuiXT tool in SAP GUI also does give you some clues in the element window

and could be an alternative way , to get control names.

eg a radio button is R[P_CONTROL_ID] when it should be radP_CONTROL_ID

c) The SAP script recording and playback ,  to a vbs script will give you the control names also, if you edit the script.

You must of course have GUI scripting on in rz11
