When
Silk4J cannot record actions against an SAP control, you can record the actions with the recorder that is available in SAP and then
dynamically invoke the recorded methods in a
Silk4J script. By doing so, you can replay actions against SAP controls that you cannot record.
-
To record the actions that you want to perform against the control, use the
SAP GUI Scripting tool that is available in SAP.
For additional information on the
SAP GUI Scripting tool, refer to the SAP documentation.
-
Open the recorded actions from the location to which the
SAP GUI Scripting tool has saved them and see what methods were recorded.
-
In
Silk4J, dynamically invoke the recorded methods from your script.
Examples
For example, if you want to replay pressing a special control in the SAP UI, which is labeled
Test and which is a combination of a button and a list box, and selecting the sub-menu
subsub2 of the control, you can record the action with the recorder that is available in SAP. The resulting code will look like the
following:
session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/cntlCONTAINER/shellcont/shell").pressContextButton "TEST"
session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/cntlCONTAINER/shellcont/shell").selectContextMenuItem "subsub2"Now you can use the following code to dynamically invoke the methods
pressContextButton and
selectContextMenuItem in your script in
Silk4J:
.SapToolbarControl("shell ToolbarControl").invoke("pressContextButton", "TEST")
.SapToolbarControl("shell ToolbarControl").invoke("selectContextMenuItem", "subsub2")Replaying this code will press the control in the SAP UI and select the sub-menu.
