In this topic we will understand the SAP GUI. SAP GUI is
the interface that allows Users to interact with the SAP system. SAP GUI
represents the Presentation server in the 3-tier architecture of SAP system.
When you logon to SAP, the First screen that appears before you is SAP Easy
Access; a SAP user menu screen. This screen enables you to perform
multiple tasks by allowing you to work on multiple sessions simultaneously.
SAP GUI Explained |
The Menu Bar
The menus in the menu bar are used to perform various
functional (like creating or modifying reports) and administrative (like
creating user, assigning passwords) tasks. The Menus of the menu bar keeps on
changing as per the current opened transaction.
The Standard
Toolbar
The standard toolbar which is just below the Menu Bar
provides us with various common options like Save, Exit, Back, Cancel and also
the Command Field where we enter Tcodes to open transaction. The options of the
Standard toolbar remain same for all the transactions but they do get
Enable/Disable as per the requirement of transaction. A user can customize standard toolbar properties only at the output screen of its ABAP program using the "PF-STATUS" in their ABAP programs..
The Title Bar
The title bar shows the title of the current opened
transaction. AS shown in the figure above the Title Bar shows the Title for
current transaction as “SAP Easy Access “.
The Application
Toolbar
The application toolbar contains application specific
icons and buttons which helps in creating and maintaining various applications
in SAP. The icons and buttons of application toolbar vary according to the
functional requirements of the transaction.
The Status Bar
The status bar is located at the bottom of the SAP screen.
It provides information about applications,
programs and general system related information. All the messages (Success,
Error, Warning etc) which are to be displayed during transaction are shown at
the left side of status bar. All the general information (like client number,
server address, number of current sessions, transaction number, response time
etc) is displayed at right side of status bar.
Customizing SAP
GUI
You can customize the appearance of SAP GUI by modifying
the Theme, color, fonts, window size etc. SAP provides us with “Customize Local
Layout” option to do so. You can either press ALT+F12 or select the Customize
Local Layout option located at right most side of Standard Toolbar. Select Customize
Local Layout > Options and then a pop up window appears that provides with
you with a variety of options to customize SAP. Please note that the changes
you make here will only appear in your local system and not for everyone.
Customize Screen Layout Options |
If any user wants to customize its GUI, SAP provides us an option to make user specific changes.
For doing that goto any transaction say SE11. Now goto Utilities in Menu bar. Utilities -> Settings.
User Specific changes in SAP |
Here you can make the necessary changes for almost all required utilities. You can change your ABAP editor from classic mode to new mode, set debugger mode, session breakpoints view etc.
