Re: [Pysaprfc-users] Need some help for writing a simple SAP interface using pysap

[vivek k. g. <gup...@re...>]

Thanks again for the help. In my case I think that going with the option 2 =
will be the only option I will have. Also, do I need SAPGUI for my SAP clie=
nt script to run properly? I will be presenting this demo app on this comin=
g friday to the client. I have to add some GUI for the app, which I will be=
 doing in wxPython. I will inform you the outcome of the demo. I hope that =
I will be able to  work in Python again ;) . Thanks again for your timely h=
elp and suggestions.=0A=0AThanks and regards,=0AVivek Kumar=0A=0AKlavdij Vo=

 SAP system starts your app when needed and stops it after execution. In th=

SAP GUI installed and probably don't have access to SAP host. Unfortunately=
 starting server app on explicit host requires rsh (remote shell) which is =

 rsh for Windows (both commercial and shareware), but I'd advise against it=
 as rsh presents possible security threat.=0A> 2. Run app as "registered se=
rver". In this case app must be started in advance with certain command lin=
e parameters. This are -a<program name> -g<hostname or IP of SAP server> -x=
<gateway>. <gateway> is either sapgwXX or 33XX, where XX is system number. =
 <program name> is a short text of your choice, something like my_computer.=
my_server. The same name has to be entered in SM59 in order to register you=
r app with SAP. You can then invoke your function(s) from any computer conn=
ected to SAP.=0A> Apart from that you don't need further settings.=0A>=0A> =
