Appendix D: Bell Signal Reception/Processing by SAPConsole 

This section describes bell signal reception and processing by the SAPConsole:

 

...

       1.      If the variable NOTIFY_BELL_SIGNAL = 3, then SAPConsole will create three beeps:

○       In the telnet mode (sapcnsl.exe), you can hear three beeps.

○       In the Web mode, we use the tag <bgsound src="sounds/alert.wav"/> in order to send a beep and, therefore, cannot send the wav file three times. However, you can send other wav files, for example, <bgsound src="sounds/beeps.wav"/>.

 

Therefore, the following new registry key is created:

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SAP\Ofek\SapConsole\Profiles\<profile_name>\WebBeepNotify

 

 Example:

WebBeepNotify = sounds/beeps.wav

Thus, if NOTIFY_BELL_SIGNAL=n exists in SAP screen and n>0, then the name of a wav file is taken from WebBeepNotify.

 

       2.      Determine different message types.

 

Available message types are:

¡        X (EXIT)

¡        A (Abend)

¡        I (Information)

¡        E (Error)

¡        W (Warning)

¡        S (Status)

 

The following new registry keys are created:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SAP\Ofek\SapConsole\Profiles\<profile_name>\WebBeepMessageA

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SAP\Ofek\SapConsole\Profiles\<profile_name>\WebBeepMessageE

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SAP\Ofek\SapConsole\Profiles\<profile_name>\WebBeepMessageI

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SAP\Ofek\SapConsole\Profiles\<profile_name>\WebBeepMessageS

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SAP\Ofek\SapConsole\Profiles\<profile_name>\WebBeepMessageW

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SAP\Ofek\SapConsole\Profiles\<profile_name>\WebBeepMessageX

 

Messages of type A and I have the same properties and cannot be separated. Thus, they have the same sound. Similarly, messages of type W have the same sound as messages of type E.

The default values are as follows:

WebBeepMessageA = sounds/alert.wav

WebBeepMessageE = sounds/alert.wav

WebBeepMessageI = sounds/alert.wav

WebBeepMessageS = sounds/alert.wav

WebBeepMessageW = sounds/alert.wav

WebBeepMessageX = sounds/alert.wav

WebBeepNotify = sounds/alert.wav

 

You can create your own wav file for each message type and send it.
