Feature Request: Open SAP GUI with transaction code

Former Member
0 Kudos

Hi all,

it would be very nice if there is the possiblity to open the SAP GUI inside eclipse with a specific transaction code. By now the transaction SESS or S000 is triggered opening the SAP GUI. To support starting another transaction, the popup selecting the project could be enhanced by a new input field for the transaction, which should be started immediatly.

What do you think about?

Regards,

Armin

Hi Armin,

please use the shortcut ALT-F8 to start arbitrary SAP GUI transactions in eclipse.

Hi Thomas,

thank you very much for the hint. I didn't recognize this feature till now, although it is good in sight.

The magic Ctrl-Shift-A also allows to search and start transactions. And basically everything else

Ctrl-Shift+A opens the transaction for editing first and you have to run it manually. Using Alt+F8 runs the transation imediately. "Running" a table with Alt+F8 brings you directly to the data preview/content of the table (as long as the backend supports this feature).

So for these uses cases Alt+F8 saves some clicks/time.
