How do I execute the transaction (tcode) in SAPGUI?

[Jonah.Kowall]

The SAPGUI client is available for MS Windows OS (written in C++/C#) and for MacOS (written in Java). The Windows version is preferred because of its stability, performance and better Office integration.

What do I look for to execute the transaction?

In the SAPGUI window, look for the “Command Bar” field. This is where you will type in the required tcode prefixed by /n if you want to reuse the existing SAPGUI window, or /o to open a new window.

Example

In this example, you want to execute the /DVD/MON transaction.

• If you want to reuse the SAPGUI window, type in /n/DVD/MON and hit Enter.
• If you want to open a new SAPGUI window, type in /o/DVD/MON and hit Enter.

Troubleshooting

When working with SAP transactions, you have two options for troubleshooting that do not require AppDynamics having direct access to your system or SAP Service Backbone:

1. Preferred: You can provide Support with supervised remote access (for example, WebEx), based on your organization’s security policies.
   
   
2. If you are experienced in running transactions from within SAPGUI, you can work with Support to execute the transaction and share the results.

what are the languages supported for sap monitoring?

[Jody.Nichols]

@Jakkamsetti.Ramya the native SAP agent from Appdynamics refers to those SAP apps written in SAP's proprietary ABAP language (like the ERP/ECC systems). Other sap components written in Java can utilise the normal AppD java agent.
