Installation of SAP GUI on MAC OS 10.3.6

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am using an Apple imac machine running on MAC OS 10.3.6. I have installed SAP GUI rev8 in it, but when i tried to connect the SAP Sever it failed. I have a SAP Server running on SUN Solaris Platform.Is there any configurations to be done in the server to accept request from Apple machine. Which version of JRE will GUI rev8 support.

Please let me know how to make connection from GUI to my server.

Regards,

Saravanan

Hi Saravanan,

first there is a update of Java GUI 6.30 rev 10 for MacOS 10.3 (Panther) available or a 6.40 version for MacOS 10.4 (Tiger).

please refere to thread:

or

SAP GUI for Java 6.40 rev 4 is available at

ftp://ftp.sap.com/pub/sapgui/java/640r4/ and

http://service.sap.com/sapgui-java

second:

You have to do no special configuration to connect from a Mac.

If you connect to the server via a JavaGUI on Linux, etc. just use the same configuration and connection string for Mac OS X.

FYI:

Your connection string can look something like:

conn=/H/192.168.1.10/S/3205

where 192.168.1.10 is the server IP adress and 3205 is the portnumber.

For details please refere to the documentation:

9. Technical Background -> Connection Strings

and

6. User Configuration
