In SAP R/3, for example, you make these settings under Customizing of local layout ® Options and Local Data.
  1. Start all the applications needed during recording.
  2. Start the Recorder. In the Windows start menu, choose Start à Programs à SAP Tutor à Recorder.
  3. Select the Ask for tutorial properties option.
  4. In the Running Applications window, select the applications you want to record (including those that are started automatically during recording) and move them to the Applications to be recorded window.

    5. Note

    Applications in the Applications to be recorded window are marked with a square:

    Blue square: application is open and ready for recording.

    White square: application is not open. The application is recorded as soon as it is opened.

    Note

    If you want to record an R/3 System, select the SAP Logon application. If you use an older SAP GUI version (4.6D and below), select instead the FRONT application.

  5. The Applications to be recorded window might still contain applications from an earlier recording. Select the applications with a blue square that you do not want to record and move them to the Running Applications window with This graphic is explained in the accompanying text.
  6. To close the Recorder, choose Exit.
