Pre-requisite for SAP GUI Protocol scripting in Loadrunner

The fundamental requirement of Loadrunner to record and run SAP GUI scripts requires few settings at client and server side. Here are the main settings you need to incorporate:

1. Enable scripting at client side:

• Install SAP GUI client on Vugen
• To ensure that scripting is available on the client-end, check that there is a Scripting directory located in the SAP GUI installation directory.  If this directory does not exist, then the SAP Scripting API is not installed and you must reinstall SAP GUI with the SAP Scripting API option.
• Once you have script SAP GUI complete package installed, configure all the required systems in SAP GUI, You will require the details of servers like server name, system number etc.
• Ensure you have connectivity between SAP GUI and SAP server, if not then request for necessary ports to be opened.
• You need to enable Scripting as circled in the red colour in the screen shot below and disable all check boxes as shown in the screen shot shown below. In order to do this, log on to SAP server, select the “Rainbow” Icon and select “Options”. And you must disable the remaining two check boxes

  - Notify When a Script attaches to a Running GUI

  - Notify When a Script Opens a Connection

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Enable scripting at server side:

• Logon to SAP with a user with required privileges, User ID need to have proper privilege to enable scripting at server side. Basis should be able to provide you administrative privilege to do the same.
• Logon to SAP using SAP GUI, run the transaction rz11, and enter parameter name sapgui/user_script.
• Enable the parameter with the Current value changed to TRUE.  Save it and enable the changes on all the servers and scripting will be enabled the next time you log on.
