Script recording in SAP HANA

[former_member1011800]

Our company is upgrading from SAP R/3 to S/4 HANA, and the general business community will be accessing S/4 HANA through the Fiori browser interface, while GUI logins will only be allowed to IT and a short list of super/power users. The preferred access will be via Chrome. I understand that our former recordings and automations based on them written with VBScript will be working on GUI after the upgrade based on

https://answers.sap.com/questions/12247454/sap-hana-script-recordings-and-playback-changes.html

However, we wonder if there are any feature similar to Script Recording and Playback working for the browser access in HANA.

Also can our old recordings from GUI R/3 be somehow applied when using a browser access? Thank you very much in advance for your help in this matter.

Hello

For S/4HANA scripting, SAP now sell process automation software, this might be too much for your requirements, but is worth a look - https://www.sap.com/uk/products/robotic-process-automation.html.

Thank you very much for the advice, Michael.

With "... browser access in HANA ..." you mean using the SAP Fiori Applications on S/4HANA I think (that this is really directly related to the DB system itself).

Regarding your questions:

• No, your GUI scripts cannot be applied here.
• There are lot of (free) browser automation tools available, which can be used for automation. As you are using Chrome, such tools are available as Chrome Extensions too. For instance I use the "UI.Vision RPA" Chrome Extension (just search in the Chrome web store) to record and replay specific tasks. If you search a little bit, you will find a lot of such tools and you can choose what fits best for you depending on your needs.

Thank you very much for your response and sharing your experience, Florian. Is there any tool within SAP S/4 HANA itself that enables recording? Or is this feature abandoned in this version completely? Thank you.

For GUI things (GUI can still be used for some things) you can use the available scripting tool. For Fiori things I don't know any solution offered directly by SAP.

Hope we will have a chance to test "UI.Vision RPA" Chrome Extension. Thank you very much for your expertise!
