automating SAP GUI tasks with Java

[Former Member]

Hi,

I've been using vbScript and vba to automate tasks in the SAP GUI for some time now. But due to the introduction of Macs with several of my customers, we'd like to explore the option of doing the same through Java. Unfortunately, I've had no luck finding the necessary libraries or examples to connect and move through the GUI screens properly or even a backend that I'd have access to read and compare properly. Is there a good way to get started? Many thanks in advance for any tips.

Hello Roman,

you can use JavaScript for that.

On page > Related Topics, you can find the link to the SAP GUI Scripting | SCN page with the relevant documentation.

Hi Rolf,

thanks for your reply. If I understand it correctly, I'd use javascript to do the main navigation through the SAP session and call on Java only if I want to do something outside of JS capabilities. Is this correct?
