SAPGUI scripting for JavaGUI on Mac/Linux w/ Eclipse

590 Views Last edit May 08, 2018 at 06:19 AM 3 rev

I would like to create/edit SAPGUI scripts in Eclipse as part of a Java/JavaScript project. Then I want to run the script against an SAP System Connection (defined in Eclipse).

How can I connect to SAP GUI from Java (without Windows dlls!)

We can launch scripts against JavaGUI with guistart -f /pathto/testscript

  • this launches a new (2nd/3rd...) instance of JavaGUI logon pad and does not kill it

Is there any API/documentation for an already-running instance of JavaGUI on Mac/Linux? How can we attach to this process from a Java process to control the GUI?

Stuff I already tried/read:

Any guidance would be appreciated!
