SAP GUI for JAVA in EP

[PradeepBondla]

Dear All,

I am working on Transactional iView (GUI for JAVA). for this I am following the blog

I am working on Windows operating system. my Questions are

1) this has to be done on server or on client machine? I mean downloading and installing PlatinGUI-Win32-640r4.jar tobe done on WEB AS or on my local system? right now I am doing on my local system.

2) Will this blog work in Windows Environment?

3) I could do the steps upto 4 but in step 5 of installation "Execute demo.htm and you are all set to use SAP GUI for JAVA (Same as WinGui)" I am getting applet error. page is blank with java icon and in task bar i could see applet error.

4) in the step Making JAVA GUI accessible via Web when i open the IIS i could find a blank default website. I am not able to see the sub folders as shown in the blog.

If any one worked on the above topic... please answer above questions and guide me.

Hi PradipP,

QStn:what do you mean by needs to be done on the IIS machine. what is IIS machine?

Ans: IIS m/c means the machine where the internet interaction service is installed properly,most of the time it has to be in server machine.so if your server machine is on windows then you need to install /download as per the blog in your server machine.

hope it will help you.let me know if you have more qstn

Hi GLM and Roy,

Thanks for your helpful answers.

Need more clarifications on this. Please give inputs if you have....

now I have one basic doubt......

1) where I have to install PlatinGUI-Win32-640r4.jar ?????? its on Portal server or r/3 server?

2) we have portal and r/3 on different servers? and this server dont have IIS (those are not web servers)

3) what if my Portal server is on linux? because PlatinGUI-Win32-640r4.jar is for WINDOWS. right?

till now I was looking at the blog and http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/b7/17c43b6312210fe10000000a11402f/content.htm.

what do you suggest.

Hi Pradeep,

I guess you haven't understood the blog in totality. "PlatinGUI-Win32-640r4.jar" is like the setup for SAP GUI for Java which will work on Windows and Linux both (since jar files are platform independent).

If you want only for test purposes then do it on one single machine i.e. a local desktop (not the portal or R/3) and execute the demo.html after doing the modification for the server parameters.

Now if you want to distribute the SAP GUI to various users (read as various PC's over a network) then you will have to go the IIS way.

Hope it helps.

Thanks,

GLM

Hi,

As I understood I have to install the jar file in the IIS machine ( where IIS is there). so it means on web server? here we have all the servers in different platforms. we have portal server, r/3 server and web as servers on different platforms.

for some reasons I could not use the server where IIS is installed.

I try to do it in my portal server which is linux 64 bit.

and I found that

"There is no 64-bit version of SAP GUI for Java available. The technology behind SAP GUI for the Java Environment is a combination of Java and

C/C+ , running with the same codebase on all platforms. At the moment the parts that are native for each platform are 32-bit only for technical+

reasons. This applies to the JPlatin library as well as the graphics, file transfer and network components. Therefore these parts cannot be loaded

by 64-bit Java runtime environments. Attempts to do so will result in a message like the following:

"Cannot load shared library 'JPlatin' or some dependent library: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no JPlatin in java.library.path"

SAP GUI for Java can be run on 64-bit hardware provided there is a 32-bit Java runtime environment available for that hardware and operating

system. For updates see SAP note 1018530.

"

from https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/208be3bf-ebf4-2a10-3aa1-c42e9bb5...

whats your response on this? my portal server is linux 64 bit when I followed above blog i couldnt acheive it.and other way I can not install sap gui for java on IIS server for some reasons.

what to do next????? any idea?

install IIS on a 32 BIT machine with either Windows XP (test systems) or Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition (PROD systems) and then install the SAP GUI 4 JAVA on this machine for distribution to various clients....

thanks,

Hi,

Thanks for your response,

Will it work even my portal server is on 64 bit hardware?

I am going to try the same... i.e installing sap gui for java on IIS machine, keeping my portal on 64 bit (ofcourse I can not change even I want)...

let me know Will it work even my portal server is on 64 bit hardware?

any way I will update the result of this in this thread.

yes it should work

[PradeepBondla · Accepted solution]

nope.... its not working.

I have installed SAP GUI for JAVA (platinxxxxx.jar) in IIS server as given in this blog

I am able to view run the demo.htm from all other other system by using http://servername/JavaGui I given the required information in portal (System Administration -> System Configuration -> Service Configuration) now its loading Java applet but not SAP GUI for JAVA.

Here I need to remind you that my portal server is 64 bit.

do you say even portal server is 64 bit, will the iView work?

because when I am trying with http://iisServer/JavaGui I could see the demo.htm and I can use the logon pad using SAP GUI for java, but when created an iView for SAP GUI for java in portal, its not showing the screen, its loading applet then a blank screen. ( I have given all required information in System Administration -> System Configuration -> Service Configuration)

Is it because of 64 bit portal server?????????

What do you say??????????

Hi,

As said in above post, I did all the things...

i created an iView for SAP GUI for Java, and when I run its installing JAVA plug in and SAP GUI for JAVA and showing blank screen.

The message in task bar is "com.sap.platin.GuiApplet2 Started" and its showing nothing. just a blank screen.

1) this has to be done on server or on client machine? I mean downloading and installing PlatinGUI-Win32-640r4.jar tobe done on WEB AS or on my local system? right now I am doing on my local system.

needs to be done on the IIS machine

2) Will this blog work in Windows Environment?

Will work in WIN environment also

3) I could do the steps upto 4 but in step 5 of installation "Execute demo.htm and you are all set to use SAP GUI for JAVA (Same as WinGui)" I am getting applet error. page is blank with java icon and in task bar i could see applet error.

Make sure the right version of JRE is installed

4) in the step Making JAVA GUI accessible via Web when i open the IIS i could find a blank default website. I am not able to see the sub folders as shown in the blog.

this happens if the settings on IIS arent correct

[PradeepBondla]

Hi,

Thanks for your quick response

need some clarification on your answers

what do you mean by needs to be done on the IIS machine. what is IIS machine? do you mean server / web as? or ?

Make sure the right version of JRE is installed

I am using the same JRE as shown in the blog. but still no use

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/b7/17c43b6312210fe10000000a11402f/content.htm

they asked to do the installation on web server....

then what about this way

Please respond if any one has previously worked on it
