Installation and Configuration of SAPGUI for Java on Linux

3 Votes Based on many questions in my email inbox, asking how to install and configure SAPGUI for Java on Linux, here Ill explain it briefly. Prepare these stuffs before you can proceed to installation : 1. You have to make sure that your Linux system has been installed with JRE (Java Runtime Environment) from SUN Microsystem (http://java.sun.com). If you don;t have it, just download it from here. Some of linux distros such as Fedora, Ubuntu, OpenSuSE etc using JRE from GNU called GIJ (GNU for Java). We cant use this JRE. We need to replaced it. Ill show you how to changed it later. You also need SAPGUI for Java installer. You can download it freely from ftp://ftp.sap.com.

2.

After you have all prerequisite, you can proceed to next step to extract and change your JRE. This step is valid for Fedora, Ubuntu, and OpenSuSE. Please let me know if these doesnt work for you. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Logon as root Copy your JRE installer file to /opt folder.Please use .bin extention file. Change file permission if needed to executable. Use this command : #chmod 755 jre-1.xxx.bin (xxx = refer to JRE version youre using). Extract JRE files. Use this command : #./jre-1.xxx.bin Install JRE you just extracted inside alternatives system. Use this command : #/update-alternatives install /usr/bin/java java /opt/jre1-xxx/bin/java 2 Update java command configuration on alternatives system. Choose java number 2 because usually GIJ had number 1 position. Use this command : #update-alternatives config java Use this command to verify your JRE configuration. You can use this command : #java -version If you get something like this on your screen then you are succeeded. java version 1.6.0 Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0-b105) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0-b105, mixed mode, sharing)

After you finish this step, you can proceed to SAPGUI for Java installation. 1. 2. 3. Logon as root Use this command (on terminal) to install SAPGUI for Java. #java -jar PlatinGUI-Linux-xxxx.jar (Use the latest version). Installed on /opt folder as default (usually on /opt/SAPClients folder)

Next step is configure your SAPGUI for Java and try to test to SAP R/3 server connection. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Run executable file called guilogon (reside on /opt/SAPClients/SAPGUI700rev1/bin). It willpop up SAPGUI for Java window. Click New button. Fill the Description column as you like. Click Advanced Tab. Give check (V) to Use Expert Configuration Fill the connection string. If your server using load balancing configuration, use this connection stringconn=/M/(IP_Address_Message_Server)/S/36(system_number)/G/(nama_group) and use this connection string configuration if yor SAP R/3 server are not using load balancing system,conn=/H/(IP_Address_server_SAP)/S/32(system_number).

There you go ! Now, you can use your SAPGUI for Java to access your SAP R/3 server. Comments and suggestions are welcome. Ill try to update this tutorial as best as I can.

I have installed SAP Solution Manager 4.0 on SUSE Linux 10 SP1. I am able to connect to SAP system using SAP GUI for Java on the console system only. I use string conn=/H/(IP_Address_server_SAP)/S/3201 in SAP GUI Java expert configuration field. But when I try to connect from a windows PC using SAP GUI for windows, I am not able to connect to SAP system, it displays a message, connection refused. I can login to SAP server at (unix level) using ssh from the windows PC. The /etc/services file has ports starting from 3201 for dispatcher. Can you lead me, how can I resolve this problem.

Hi Ardhian, Turning windows firewall off has not helped me. And I turned off the SUSE Linux firewall as well. Is there any configuration file for SAP GUI for Windows, where I can change the default port on which the SAPGUI sends the request for connection to SAP system. Thanks and regards, Vijay

Hi Vijay, I dont know if you can change your SAP port because it have been decided when you install your SAP Solman. When installing SAP Solman, you have been asked about SAP system number. best regards, ardhian

Hi, I meant configuration file/setting for SAPGUI for windows on the windows client. Because the port number for an SAP application server is by convention 3200 plus the two-digit SAP system number, in my example the system no is 01 hence I used 3201. It is working perfectly with SAPGUI for Java but on the console system only. Thanks for your inputs. Vijay

Hi Vijay, Im sure that you have configured your SAPGUI for Windows correctly, right ? Make sure that your PC was connected to your network and SAP Solman server correctly. Try to ping your SAP Solman server and make sure its replies. Hope that help you. If it doesnt work, then i have no ideas anymore. ardhian

HI, Ive installed the SAPGUI over SLED 10.1 SP2, i change the type of font of the SAPGUI (Options Preferences Design Fonts). But, the SAPGUI displays allways a kind of font that is not good to read. I allways get a bold font very ugly. I want to change the font in such a way that the SAPGUI could be readable for the user. Thanks on advance.

Comment by Javier | September 3, 2008 | Reply

Hi Javier, It seems that you missed little configuration. When youre using SAProuter, you need to mention your SAProuter port, by default 3299. So, your connection string should be : conn=/H/(SAProuter_Public_IP)/S/3299/H/(Your_SAP_Server_Local_IP)/S/3200 Make sure that your SAPGUI port is correct, 3200. For other people may be different. I hope this config could help you. Best Regards, Ardhian Please consider donation through my paypal account : devratt@yahoo.com

hi ashit, If youre using SAP R/3 4.7 and has Basis patch level 52 or above, you can use SAPGUI for Java version 7.10 and using G access method to print.

G access method can print directly on frontend printing printer. Just as Windows based type (F access method) ardhian

Let me get clearly. Do you install your SAP server using public IP address ? If not, then you cannot connect directly to your SAP server from internet. To connect to SAP server (which is usually reside on internal network), SAP has provide SAProuter.

hi, although your Linux distro is not specifically mentioned to be supported, it is still possible to install SAPGUI for Java. I am sure that fedora 10 is supported. first check whether java is already installed on fedora by typing command : #java -version if this command gives you info about java from SUN then you are ready to install SAPGUI for Java. To install SAPGUI for Java just follow my step by step tutorial on this posting. ardhian

Hi Mikko, It seems that youre experiencing SAPLogon Codepage problem. Although SAPGUI for Java was support Unicode but some function still wont work properly. Check this link (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_40b/helpdata/de/93/e6415d4ba811d189510000e829fbbd/content.h tm) I think this is because of your Windows codepage. Maybe youre using non standard codepage.

@silvia : I havent tried yet for Java Runtime from IBM. But SAPGUI help noticed that for Linux client, youll need at least SUN Java and C++ standard library. Here are full notice from SAPGUI help : Linux Hardware * IBM x86 compatible PC * CPU: Intel Pentium 4 * RAM: 1GB required, 2GB recommended for better performance Software * Sun Java SE 6 32-bit or 64-bit Make sure that the Java Plugin is properly installed. * C++ runtime: libstdc++.so.6 This library is generally included with current distributions, at least they all have packages with gcc 4.1 which include this library. For information where to find the packages required to install, please refer to SAP Note 909250. Please try to user Java from SUN. Hope this could help. ardhian

Hi, I have installed SAPGui for java 720 on MAC OSX I am able to connect, via saprouter, to two different servers, while I receive a timeout on a third. All the server are reached through saprouter. The difference is only that the third server is on a different network whit respect to the first two. From the same lan, I am able to connect to all three servers using Win sapgui, with the same connection string. Any hint? One working connection string is (java): conn=/H/94.x.y.z/S/3299/H/10.150.0.10/S/3210;wan=true the non-working one is (java): conn=/H/94.x.y.z/S/3299/H/156.k.l.m/S/3200;wan=true the above connection is configured on window with the following parameters: Saprouter:/H/94.x.y.z/S/3299/H/ Appl. server: 156.k.l.m System number: 00

hello Shailesh, i have searched for "SAPGUI 7.2 Linux" via google and found an installation file on the site of an german university. It could be worth a try:
