Authorizations for SAP-Users​

Your SAP administrator must ensure that you have all the necessary authorisations.

Server-Side​

  • Open the transaction RZ11
    link_scripting_4

  • Search for the parameter sapgui/user_scripting
    link_scripting_5

  • Make sure this value is TRUE
    link_scripting_6

  • If necessary, change this value to TRUE
    link_scripting_7

Note

If you have more than one SAP instance and want to use dab Link on al instances, activate the checkbox Switch on all servers.

Also make sure that the following parameters are set to FALSE:

  • sapgui/nwbc_scripting
  • sapgui/user_scripting_disable_recording
  • sapgui/user_scripting_force_notification
  • sapgui/user_scripting_per_user
  • sapgui/user_scripting_set_readonly

Authorisation rights​

Authorisation rights need only be checked or set if the sapgui/user_scripting_per_user parameter is set to TRUE. SAP GUI Scripting is only available to users who have the authorisation S_SCR in the class BC_A.

It must be ensured that the link https://dab.link/redirect.html can be called, otherwise the links cannot be opened. Test this by clicking on the link https://dab.link/redirect.html. Now your browser should open and display the following:
link_scripting_8

If the screen is red, the link is always accessible and is not blocked by a firewall. However, if a firewall window opens and the link cannot be opened, then you should add https://dab.link/redirect.html as an exception for your firewall, preferably together with IT.
