SAP Login

In the Advanced Command Editor, search for the SAP Login command and drag it into your steps. Then, follow the steps below for configuration:

1. Enter the SAP Logon path if you installed SAP in a non-default location. The executable format is similar to this: C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP\FrontEnd\SAPgui\saplogon.exe. The actual path may vary based on the SAP GUI version and installation preferences. For the default location, it is detected automatically.

2. Enter the Connection name using text or with a variable. To use a variable in this field, type its name between $ signs (for example $MyVar$). When the wizard is run, the variable name is replaced with its value. This is the name of the SAP connection you create in the SAP Logon application. In this example, it is "IDE."

   

3. Choose a method to input your SAP credentials:

   • Manually

   • From credentials vault

   • By variable

4. If you choose Manually, provide your SAP login credentials following the format of the SAP Logon screen:

   

   1. Username: Enter the SAP logon user ID.

   2. Password: Enter the SAP logon password.

   3. Client: Enter the SAP client number using text or with a variable. To use a variable in this field, type its name between $ signs (for example $MyVar$). When the wizard is run, the variable name is replaced with its value. You can leave this blank, and a default number will be used.

   4. Language: Enter the language for displaying screens, menus, and fields by using text or with a variable. To use a variable in this field, type its name between $ signs (e.g., $MyVar$). When the wizard is run, the variable name is replaced with its value. This field can be left blank, and the default language is EN (English). Use the two-letter format; it is not case-sensitive.

      To view the available languages and your default logon language, click the menu (≡) on the left side of the SAP Logon screen, then click on Options > SAP Logon Options > General. The list of available languages can be found in a drop-down under SAP Logon Options.

5. If you choose From credentials vault, select from your available credentials in the Credentials Vault:

   

   1. Choose from the list of available authorized credentials in the Credentials Vault, ensuring that it is the correct one for SAP.

      If there are no SAP credentials available and you want to add one, go to the Nintex Studio, click on Tools, select Credentials Vault, and click Add to add your SAP user credentials in the General users tab. Additionally, the Credentials Vault can be accessed through the Console Plus, Admin Tool, and the Robot.

6. If you choose By variable,

   

   1. Enter the Display name of the credential from the General users section of the Credentials Vault. Make sure that the username and password details are up to date. The Credentials By variable allows you to create a dynamic connection to the Credentials Vault. Since credential variables are dynamic, if you export a wizard to another environment, ensure the credentials associated with the variable are defined in the new environment's Credential Vault. You can find the Display name in Credential's Vault of the Console Plus, Admin Tool, and the Robot.

After providing the necessary details in the SAP Login command fields and clicking OK, running Do it successfully logs into the SAP Win GUI application.
