SAP Build Process Automation - SAP GUI SDK missing

Hi everyone,
I currently miss the SAP GUI SDK as I used it before to capture SAP GUI screens on Windows. I currently have the following SDKs installed:


However, SAPUI5 and SAP Web Gui are required for native SAP UI5 apps and SAP GUI web apps, but not for Windows SAP GUI applications. Theoretically, SAP GUI should still be supported: Supported Interface Technologies | SAP Help Portal

In a tutorial, SAP GUI is also displayed as a UI technology:


For me, the SAP GUI application is displayed under UI Automation (which also makes sense, because I understand that I am missing the SAP GUI SDK):


Hence my question: Does the SAP GUI SDK still exist and if so, where can it be found? I didn't find it either in the store or under "Add Dependencies". If it does not exist anymore, how should one capture SAP GUI on Windows?
Thank you!

Kind regards,
Simon

SAP GUI SDK nowadays seems to be part of the irpa_core SDK.

Hi Simon,
You need to enable the server side scripting in SAP GUI.
Refer the url below:

https://help.sap.com/docs/intelligent-robotic-process-automation/desktop-studio-developer-guide/enab...

Keep the sap gui open,(dont minimize it) before start the recording then only it can appear on right side.(As like mentioned in my screenshot)

Hi Savarimuthu,
thanks for your response. Server- as well as client-side scripting is already enabled. I can also already partially automate some SAP GUI screens. However, some screens are only recognized as one big pane, even though they contain multiple input fields and buttons.
From my previous SAP IRPA experience, the SAP GUI SDK of SAP IRPA could solve some of these issues and made it possible to recognize more elements compared to using UIAutomation. As stated in my question, I am currently missing this SDK.
Regards,
Simon
