How to start a SAP GUI window with the Easy Access menu

Hi all,

one thing I can't figure out in AiE is how to start a SAP GUI window with the Easy Access menu available. When I open a SAP GUI window from using the SAP Logon the Easy Access menu is always the first thing that is swon. When I open a SAP GUI window in AiE (<ctrl>+<6>) i only get a blank screen.

Does anyone know how to also start the Easy Access menu automatically in AiE?

Hi Christian,

Normally, navigating to SMEN takes you to the easy access menu but when I try to navigate SMEN from the blank gui window in Eclipse it first opens an "Transaction start for eclipse embeeded java window" screen and after skipping this screen with "Enter" I can reach to the easy access menu.

This can be a workaround solution if you can't find an easier way.

Cheers,

Abdul.

Christian,

you could create a Run Configuration that starts the transaction SMEN. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear to be possible to mark ABAP application run configurations as favorites at the moment.

Hi Abdul, Volker,

thanks for the responses. I dried your suggestions. No matter which approch I try (run config, <ctrl>+<F8> followed by SMEN, <ctrl>+<g> followed by SMEN) I also always get the "Transaction start for eclipse embedded java window" screen.

So I guess for me the new workaround will be to use <ctrl>+<F8> followed by SMEN and then skip the next screen. It's not perfect but at least works.

Hi Christian,

if you type '/nsmen' in the command line, you get directly to the easy access menu.

Happy coding

Hi Christian,

I did not find a configuration for that either. But if I want to have the menue I just do a simple right click and chose "Open Easy Access" or F5.
