SAPGUI 7.00rev4 for MacOS X

[Former Member]

Hi,

I'm trying to run my SAP GUI on a Macbook Pro so as to connect to the SAP IDES system. I have downloaded the latest GUI 7.00rev4 and have successfully installed it. I notice that I do need a configuration file for this to run. The Help on the GUI says you need three files for this which may look something like this:

config.ini

1. central config file

@MESSAGESERVER = http://acme.com/msg.ini

@ROUTER = http://acme.com/rout.ini

Accounting : conn=/R/PRD/G/Finance

Sales : conn=/R/PRD/G/Logistics

msg.ini

1. message server list

PRD : /M/srv1.acme.com/S/3601

DEV : /M/srv2.acme.com/S/3602

TST : /M/srv3.acme.com/S/3602

rout.ini

1. saprouter list

Partners : /H/gate.acme.com/S/3299

Ok, till now I understand that I should create these three (.ini) files and give their location instead of the URL. What do these letters R, M, G, S stand for? Router, Message, ...., Server?? And what do the numbers 3601, 3602 mean?...Ports or something?

I have the following SAP IDES information:

Server number

System Id

System No.

UserID

Password

I'm stuck at this point, so any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Jay.

Hello Jay,

your questions are not really Mac specific and should go to the , which is discussing similar questions.

The "magic" with the R, M, S etc. is explained in chapter 9.1 "Technical Background - Connection Strings" included in the manual which is coming as part of SAP GUI for Java.

For your specific case making a direct connection to an application server without using load balancing (message server), the connection string could look like

conn=/H/appserver.acme.com/S/3200

(replace appserver.acme.com and 3200 with your name of the WebAS and port number, portnumber usually is 3200 + system number)

You can enter this in the "new connection" dialog using the "Advanced" tab.
