SAP Transaction Link

Links can be created that allows users to launch into SAP transactions, both in the SAP Application and the SAP web-based environment.

Note: SAP integration must be enabled and configured in the Admin Utility to allow SAP links to be linked to objects. Refer to the Administration Guide that is included on the Install Media for more information, or ask your administrator.

3.In the SAP Transaction Link Title box enter a title for the link.

4.In the Transaction Code box enter the SAP transaction code.

Web Server: Launch link in the same browser - select this option to use the same browser to open web-based SAP transaction links when users access the link in the web browser. If this option is not selected then a new browser will be launched.

SAP Information Imported from ARIS

There are two fields of information in the Imported tab that relate to information that is imported from ARIS relating to the status of the transaction in the SAP environment and how often it is used.

Activated is the status of the SAP transaction link in the SAP environment.

Frequency is how often the transaction is used.

5.Click the Advanced tab to select it.

6.If TIBCO Nimbus®  is configured to launch SAP transactions in a SAP web environment then you can choose a SAP base URL to launch from the Base URL drop-down list.

Note: If a SAP base URL is not specified then the system will first check Process Repository\System\SAPSettings for SAPlogon.ini. If it does not exist in the System folder then it will check the user's PC for SAPLogon.ini. If multiple URLs are defined in this file then the user will be prompted to select the URL to launch; if only one URL is defined then it will automatically launch the transaction in that web environment.

7.If TIBCO Nimbus®  is configured to launch SAP transactions in a SAP GUI system then you can choose a SAP system to launch from the SAP system drop-down list, or enter the SAP system name in the SAP system text box (as it appears in the SAPlogon.ini file, that is, the system displayed in the SAP Client Logon window).

Note: If a SAP base URL is not specified then the system will first check Process Repository\System\SAPSettings for SAPlogon.ini. If it does not exist in the System folder then it will check the user's PC for SAPLogon.ini. If multiple systems are defined in this file then the user will be prompted to select the system to launch; if only one system is defined then it will automatically launch the transaction in that system.

8.Click OK to finish.

User Settings and Access Rights

Access Rights

Access rights can be defined for all users and specific users and user groups. By default, all users will be able to launch the SAP transaction link. You can define the default access rights and also assign individual rights to users and user groups.

1.Click the View Rights tab.

2.Select the default access rights for all users.

3.To define specific user or user group access rights click Add to select a user or user group.

Note: Defining specific access rights will override the default access rights for those users or user groups specified. More info on Access Rights...

User Settings

SAP transactions can be launched in either the SAP GUI system, the SAP web interface, or both. If both environments are defined for a single SAP transaction then the user will be given a choice of which environment to launch when the link is accessed in the Web Server.

There are two user settings that affect the launching of SAP transactions. By default, all users can launch in both; however, individual user settings can be set to allow a user to launch in only one or the other - see User Account Details for more information.

There is user preference that will remember the last choice of SAP environment to launch in when a user launches a SAP transaction that has both environments defined for it. Individuals can specify this setting in their user preferences, or an administrator can enable or disable this option in the default user preferences.
