Telnet does not start

Hi experts,

I have a new notebook (Win 7/64 bit).

At my old one I had a link in the Easy Access menu (Web address or path) to start a Telnet session directly.

The address is

telnet:\\xxxxxxx.net

This does not work anymore. I already have installed the Telnet client...it's not working.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Michael

hi michael,

on windows 7 you must activate the telnet programm.

to activate telnet, do this:

go to: Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features

and then click on Turn Windows features on or off,

-> now, you see a new window opens, then you scroll down to telnet-client and activate it.

test the telnet program!

Hi Julius,

as I already mentioned - I have installed the telnet-client.

It's working when I run it direkctly in Windows with this link( Win+R), but not from SAP

hi michael,

now i understand, open the sap easy access menue /favorites and click on your telnet-url with option change. check the location of the telnet programm or the syntax of the call.

maybe trry to call the programmsysntax from your browser-url.

I think the problem is something different.

When I try to execute the telnet.exe (C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\telnet.exe) with the execute method from class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES, SAP can't find the file.

I think the problem is that it has to be run in administator mode...but I'm not sure.

Maybe there's a solution 🙂

Hi Michael,

normaly the telnet-client is a feature under windows 7, you can run it under your user account.

maybe test it as admin.

wich version of sapgui/version/patch do you use on your laptop?

maybe: look under SAP GUI Configuration / Security / Security Settings

for som security settings.

hi michael,

maybe you can try to delete the entry for the telnet connection and make a new entry.

you can also check the windows event viewer logfile for some entrys regarding security or. maybe some errors...
