Important Sap Gui Key Shortcuts That Will Increase Your Productivity

The area in which you enter an SAP transaction code is called Command-field or "OK Code". The shortcut to select this command field is CTRL+/

Use SAP GUI like a pro


Here are some entry options for OK codes:
  • /n - The /n option terminates the current transaction
  • /n<TXNCODE> - The /n option terminates the current transaction and TXNCODE followed by /n calls transaction TXNCODE
  • /nend - This option terminates all the sessions from the current PC and logs the user off.
  • /nex - This option terminates all the sessions from the current PC and logs the user off immediately without issuing warnings
  • /o - The option /o lists existing sessions and allows deletion or opening of a new session.
  • /o<TXNCODE> - The option /o followed by a transaction code TXNCODE opens a new session and starts transaction TXNCODE in the new session. If the maximum number of sessions per user are breached, an error is displayed.
  • /i - The option /i terminates the current session
  • /i1 - The option /i1 terminates session 1. Similarly /i<N> terminates session N.
  • .xyz - While navigating menus, each menu item you click has a character that is underlined. These can be navigated using . followed by the underlined characters. For example all the click through Goto > Overview > System can be accessed using .Gvs. One more example is illustrated in the pic at the beginning.
  • /h - Switched to debugging mode.
  • /hs - This switches into debugging mode and activates the debugging of system functions
  • /$SYNC - Resets all the buffers on the currently logged on application server
  • /$CUA - Resets the CUA buffer on the currently logged on application server
  • /$TAB - Resets the table buffers on the currently logged on application server
  • /$NAM - Resets the nametab buffer on the currently logged on application server
  • /$DYN - Resets the screen buffer on the currently logged on application server
  • &sap_edit is a bit tricky with SAP placing few restrictions on it.

Copy-Pasta

Copy-paste between SAP screen and other application (like excel, notepad, word etc) works a little bit differently. First you have to activate mark option using CTRL+Y. This activates a cross-hair cursor with which you can select all the data you wish to select. Then copy the selected data to OS's clipboard using CTRL+C (copy) or CTRL+X (cut). Now you can paste into non-SAP application using the normal paste (CTRL+V)

You can also activate automatic copy by selection of text.

OS/DB Migration - CMD. STR, TOC, EXT, R3load, DDLDBS.TPL and more

Image
With increasing need to improve performance or reduce costs or vanishing support for operating systems/databases it becomes inevitable to migrate to a better OS or DB. We feel take a quick look at the primary ingredients of the tools for OS/DB migration handled by R3SETUP. Tools - R3load, R3ldctl and R3szchk R3ldctl creates STRucture files, TemPLate files by reading the technical settings for table/indexes in SAP data dictionary. R3szchk calculates the database size object sizes (EXTent files) for the target system based on the STR files created by R3ldctl. The EXT and STR files can be later split into smaller groups. The most crucial tool R3load is responsible for unloading and loading data from the database. R3load uses the files created by R3ldctl and R3szchk and dumps the data into compressed binary format as .001, .002 .. files. It uses cmd files to achieve the task. If the cmd files are not present, it creates on its own. Files Command files*.cmd  are created i

Fixing Inconsistent Table - Table activation fails due to inconsistency between DD and DB

If you find a table to be available on the database, but not active in ABAP dictionary, try calling SE14 as DDIC user, enter the table name and choose Table > Reconstruct, Execute. If this method fails follow these steps: Call transaction code SE37 and execute the function module  DD_TABL_ACTM with single test On the next screen, do not change any other field except the following and set them as shown below: MODE: 12 NTAB_PUTSTATE: N TABNAME: <enter the correct table name> Click on Execute The export parameter ACT_RESULT should show 0. To verify if the inconsistency is fixed, call transaction SE14 > Extras > Database Object > Check and  SE14 > Extras > Runtime object > Check.

301 Redirect Using SAP Web Dispatcher

301 redirects are typically used to redirect accesses that include www to non-www or vice-versa. Example, when you call http://blogger.com, the call is redirected to www.blogger.com. An end-user may prefer to call a URL in any manner. You must ensure that all these calls are redirected to relevant URLs with content. SAP web dispatcher can be configured to send a redirect (301) to the client. To enable redirection add icm/HTTP/redirect_<xx> to the web dispatcher's profile file. The parameter uses the following syntax: icm/HTTP/redirect_<xx> = PREFIX=<URL prefix>[, FROM=<pattern for URL>, FROMPROT=<incoming protocol>, FOR=<pattern for host name:port>,TO=<new URL prefix>, PROT=<protocol>, HOST=<host>, PORT=<port number/name>] Let's say you want to redirect all the HTTP requests on mysource.com on 80 port to mytarget.com on HTTPS 443 port icm/HTTP/redirect_0 = PREFIX=/, FROM=*, FROMPROT=http, FOR=mysource.com:80,
