Enabling SAPGUI Scripting on the Server

Silk Performer’s SAPGUI record/replay technology is based on the SAPGUI scripting API, which needs to be enabled on the server and client side. SAP servers of version 620 and higher offer SAPGUI scripting support. Earlier versions require certain patch levels.

A user with administrative privileges needs to change the sapgui/user_scripting parameter in order to enable scripting. The value needs to be changed to TRUE.

  1. Logon to your SAP server.
  2. Run transaction RZ11. Specify the parameter name sapgui/user_scripting and click Display. If Parameter name is unknown appears in the status bar, this indicates that you are missing the current support package. Check your installed packages.
  3. Change the value to TRUE.
  4. Click Save.
  5. Restart the application server, since this change only takes effect when you log onto the system.
