Run sap gui in xubuntu

I have been trying xubuntu Linux recently. My biggest experience is that the current Linux availability is really high. Most of the work can be done in Linux, and there is no problem without windows.

Firefox can be used for surfing the internet; Gaim can be used for chatting to connect to MSN and Gtalk. QQ is rarely used. In pogo games, just install a JRE; msoffice can be replaced by OpenOffice; PS can be replaced by gimp; media playback has xfmedia; even through the wall, it can be easily done with Tor.

As the most widely used software in my work, I have also successfully used the sap gui in Linux, so I have been in Linux for almost a few days, this blog is also written in xubuntu 6.06.

To run the sap gui in Linux, you must first download an installer: log on to the SAP support website with your user ID, and search for sap gui for Java in the download area. We recommend that you download the Manual document together. Although the document is too simple and many questions are not clearly stated, it is always better.

Since it is sap gui for Java, JRE must be installed, as long as it is simple to use:

sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jre

It can be installed. However, because the default installation does not contain a Chinese font, the program running with Chinese content is displayed as a square, which must be solved first. Fortunately, in Java 5, this problem is relatively easy, you only need to create a directory fallback under/usr/lib/JVM/Java-1.5.0-sun/JRE/lib/fonts (I do not know why this name is called, I will use this), and then create a symbol link in it to link to any TrueType Chinese font under/usr/share/fonts. Take windows as an example (CP to/usr/share/fonts/TrueType ):

cd /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/lib/fonts
sudo mkdir fallback
sudo ln -s /usr/share/fonts/truetype/simhei.ttf ./fallback/simhei.ttf

Then run the following command in the sap gui for Java download directory (I put it in setup under my user directory:

java -jar ~/setup/PlatinGUI-Linux-640r6.jar

The installation process is GUI, which is very simple. Just follow the prompts. My installation target is located in the user directory.

After the installation is successful, you must configure the configuration before use. However, if you do not talk about this, you may encounter problems during use.

Follow the instructions in the document to run:

~/SAPClients/SAPGUI6.40rev6/bin/guilogon

An error occurred while loading the jplatin library. After checking Note: 909250, use:

ldd libJPlatin.so

Test the report. The libstdc ++-libc6.2-2. so.3 file cannot be found. Then, follow the instructions in the note and install libstdc ++ 2.10-glibc2.2:

sudo apt-get install libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2

It will be easy to solve this problem.

The configuration is also very simple, but because the documentation is too incomplete, I still touched some walls. After studying for a long time, the core is to create a file that records the Message Server.

For example, if you create msgsvr. ini in the user directory, the content will be one line:

TST : /M/msgserver.acme.com/S/4201 # Example for test system

This is the description in this document. Tst is your actual server name, which is only used in guilogon. Msgserver.acme.com is the address of your message server. You can also use an IP address. However, you need to manually change the address when creating a connection later. 4201 is the port number. Of course, this is just an example. The actual port number is set based on your actual server. I 've been tossing around here for a while instead.

After creation, you can start guilogon.

After startup, enter the messageserver list item in the configuration page of options | preferrences. The content is the previous msgsvr. INI full path, for example,/home/raptor/msgsvr. inii.

After confirming, you can start a new connection. First, select a system (the message server configured earlier) on the system page, and then select a group/server. The description is automatically filled in.

Note: If the message server uses an IP address, you need to check the use expert configuration on the Advanced page, then, change the IP address in the connection string to the value selected by group/server because the IP address before the first point is automatically replaced.

After everything is OK, you can click this connection to successfully connect to the server.
