Hi folks,

I researched the task and share my experience: there are principally two steps required to successfully install SAP GUI 7.3 for Java on macOS (10.12).


Note Before You Start decide between SAP GUI 7.3 or 7.4 Java

If you have numerous systems listed in a typical saplogon.ini file you usually want to leverage this to import such settings into your SAP GUI 7.3 Java. Similarly as in Windows installations, you would point to the saplogon.ini file in the SAP GUI preferences (in Windows under »Options > SAP Logon > configurations«) as illustrated below. Since the saplogin.ini file comprises the system access data it will thus automatically set the correct SAP system connections.

  • MORE HERE: NOTICE: If your MacOs version is Sierra, please download SAPGUI 7.5. The SAPGUI 7.30 wont work in that MacOs ver.
  • University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee SAP UCC. Installation Guide: SAP GUI 7.50 Java for Mac OS. Note s: -This document si based on the Mac OS Sierra (10.12.6) operating system with Java JDK 8 – Update 144 installed.The filenames of the Java JDK and SAP GUI may differ than those shown in the screenshots.The Java JDK is.
  • MORE HERE: NOTICE: If your MacOs version is Sierra, please download SAPGUI 7.5. The SAPGUI 7.30 wont work in that MacOs ver.
  • Install SAP GUI 7.40 for Mac 1) Download the SAP GUI installation file PlatinGUI740#-MacOSX.jar. When the download has finished, double-click this file.

You even might insert a file link to a server where the most current version of the saplogon.ini file resides. This comes in handy if system access data like IP addresses change frequently and are updated to reflect the most recent changes. If your technical department gives you a file link that points to a server, it is highly recommended to use it in lieu of a file on your local machine.

With the new version SAP GUI 7.4 Java this changed, in that a file link is not supported anymore.

Unfortunately, to run SAP GUI 7.3 Java you will need to install legacy Java version 6 according to Download Java for OS X 2015-001

Recommendation: Should you plan to use a saplogon.ini file use 7.3 not 7.4.



  • SAP GUI 7.3 for Java installation file.
  • Legacy Java 6 kit installation.
  • The Java conversion program SapGuiIniToSapcConverter.jar

Step 1: Conversion of saplogon.ini from Windows to macOS

In an SAP environment you typically face the behemoth Windows installations, at least from a file size perspective. Thus the saplogon.ini file is targeted towards Windows OS. In order to use it on macOS it needs conversion. Luckily, there is a conversion program out there that is doing this for you. An excerpt from the corresponding thread authored by Mike Schernbeck (mike.schernbeck@googlemail.com) is pasted below:


To keep things short: I implemented a small tool, that is able to convert a saplogon.ini file in a way, that the information stored in it can be used by a SAPGUI for Java environments. It is implemented in Java. Here the link to JAR file: SapGuiIniToSapcConverter.jar. The tool can be used on Windows or Linux platforms, thanks to Java. Here is how to use it: Open your favorite command line (terminal on Linux / UNIX environments or command prompt in Windows environments) and type in the following command:



The Java program for converting saplogon.ini from Windows to macOS.

Result: a macOS ready saplogon.ini file.

Step 2: Point to saplogon.ini file

In the SAP GUI 7.3 Java preferences go to Logon and insert the file path to the saplogon.ini file in the configuration file as illustrated in the figure above.


Hope this helps.

Universal Clients for Accessing SAP Systems

SAP GUI is SAP's universal client for accessing SAP functionality in SAP applications such as - SAP ERP, SAP Business Suite (SAP CRM, SAP SCM and SAP PLM), SAP Business Intelligence and so on. SAP GUI functions like a browser. It gets information from the SAP server like what, where, when and how, to display contents in its window. All members of the SAP GUI family have unique attributes that make them especially suited for different user environments. SAP GUI comes in the following three different flavors:

SAP GUI for Windows
SAP GUI for Windows is an implementation especially designed for the Windows operating system, providing a Windows-like user experience and integration with other applications, based on OLE interfaces or ActiveX controls.


SAP GUI for the Java Environment

SAP GUI for the Java environment is a unified SAP frontend for multiple platforms. It is based on a platform-independent architecture and Java implementation. As a major benefit, it provides access to SAP applications that are based on Control-Enabling and therefore used to be reserved for Windows users in the past. Please, note that SAP GUI for Java is also available on Windows.

SAP GUI for HTML
SAP GUI for HTML automatically maps the screen elements in SAP transactions to HTML using HTML Business functions available within the SAP Internet Transaction Server. A web browser is sufficient to access almost all transactions. Please note: Since SAP GUI for HTML is an application running on the ITS, you find corresponding information on the ITS Wiki page. The SAP Screen Personas 3.0 editor is run in the SAP GUI for HTML after you install the SAP Screen Personas add-on.

You can find detailed information on the different SAP GUI types under the following links:

Literature

General Information
Frontend Network Requirements (SAP Support Portal Login required!)
Distributed landscapes today lead to the fact that an increasing number of users connect to a central system from dispersed sites with varying degrees of available bandwidth. As a consequence, user access is through local area network (LAN) and wide area network WAN (dial-up, frame relay, Internet, etc.). This paper contains a description of SAP's frontend characteristics from both a LAN and a WAN perspective.
Please note that this paper does not discuss server-to-server traffic or printing.
SAP GUI Technical Infrastructure
The purpose of this guide is to give you an understanding of the different SAP GUI types, their specific properties and how they communicate with the SAP system. Also, it explains the performance requirements of the infrastructure and describes trouble-shooting options.
