Script Recording & Playback for Dummies (intelligence)

[marianoc]

In the previous document Script Recording & Playback for Dummies we learnt how to create a simple script in order to execute steps automatically in SAP.

Now, let´s introduce two new concepts to make this tool more powerful.

1- Collect ion of SAP Message

Let´s suppose that you create a script to create documents in SAP. In this case you probably need to get the document number generated by the system when Save button is pressed.

In this case, we need to add the following sentence:

     objExcel.Cells(i, 6).Value = session.findById("wnd[0]/sbar").Text

     where 6 is the number of the column where the message will be collected.

For example, suppose that we create a script to create planner orders, where the information that we introduce is:

Column1 = Order Type = LA

Column2 = Material

Column3 = MRP Area or Plant

Column4 = Quantity

Column5 = End Basic Date

The script will be the following:

If Not IsObject(application) Then

   Set SapGuiAuto  = GetObject("SAPGUI")

   Set application = SapGuiAuto.GetScriptingEngine

End If

If Not IsObject(connection) Then

   Set connection = application.Children(0)

End If

If Not IsObject(session) Then

   Set session    = connection.Children(0)

End If

If IsObject(WScript) Then

   WScript.ConnectObject session,     "on"

   WScript.ConnectObject application, "on"

End If

session.findById("wnd[0]").maximize

Set objSheet = objExcel.ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet

cOL3 = Trim(CStr(objSheet.Cells(i, 3).Value)) 'MRP Area

session.findById("wnd[0]").sendVKey 0

session.findById("wnd[0]/tbar[0]/btn[11]").press

objExcel.Cells(i, 6).Value = session.findById("wnd[0]/sbar").Text

NEXT

2- Add IF logic in the script

Suppose that we need to execute some steps only if we achieve certain condition. In this case, we can add if logic in the script.

For example, we can enter in one column an X to indicate that the condition was achieved. Then in the script we have to add the IF and END IF:

IF COL10 = "X" THEN

END IF

where 6 is the number of the column where the message will be collected.

As an example, here you can see a script that createnew BINs in WM (LS01N) and execute the stock transfer (LT10) from the old to the new BIN only if there was stock in the old BIN:

If Not IsObject(application) Then

   Set SapGuiAuto  = GetObject("SAPGUI")

   Set application = SapGuiAuto.GetScriptingEngine

End If

If Not IsObject(connection) Then

   Set connection = application.Children(0)

End If

If Not IsObject(session) Then

   Set session    = connection.Children(0)

End If

If IsObject(WScript) Then

   WScript.ConnectObject session,     "on"

   WScript.ConnectObject application, "on"

End If

session.findById("wnd[0]").maximize
