Creating an SAP Shortcut from your Desktop

...

       1.      Position the cursor anywhere on the desktop, except on an open Windows application, and open the context menu.

       2.      Choose New → Sap GUI Shortcut.

       3.      Enter the required name for the shortcut (remember to keep the .sap file extension) and choose Enter.

You have now created a file for your shortcut.

       4.      To define this file, position the cursor on the icon you just created and choose Edit from the context menu.

A dialog box appears.

       5.      On General tab page, enter data for the following fields:

○       In the Title field, enter the shortcut title.

○       In the Type field, enter whether a transaction, report, or system is to be executed.

○       In the next field, enter the appropriate transaction, report, or system command.

You can obtain the required code by going to the required transaction and choosing System ® Status.

○       In the System Description field, enter the name of the system you require. You can select the system from the dropdown list box.

○       If you want to specify the required system manually, enter SAP GUI command line arguments in the Start parameters field (for example, appServ 00).

You can obtain the command line arguments from your system administrator.

○       If you have specified the required system manually, you must complete the System ID field.

○       In the Client field, enter your client number. If you cannot remember your client, log on to the system using the SAP Logon or SAP Logon Pad.

○       In the User field, enter your user ID. The field already contains your Windows user ID.

○       If the Password field has been activated, you can specify a password. If the field is deactivated for security reasons, only your PC administrator can activate this field.

For security reasons, this is not recommended and a warning appears. You must only include your password in an SAP shortcut if you are certain that no one can access your PC or your disk or folder.

○       In the Language field, select the language for the logon to the SAP system from the dropdown list box.

       6.      On the Options tab page, enter data for the following fields:

○       In the Trace level field, select the required trace level using the dropdown list box.
