## Enabling SAP GUI Scripting

In order to enable Studio to interact with SAP GUI for Java, you need to perform the following configurations steps on the server side and the client side. This enables the default and recommended element detection framework **SAP** for interactive selection.

:::note
In relation to any security concerns, the SAP server sees no difference between SAP GUI for Java communication generated by a script and the one generated by a user. The script has the same rights to run SAP transactions and enter data, just like a user would.
:::

### On the Server Side

1. Launch SAP GUI for Java, log in to your SAP server using your credentials. The **SAP Easy Access** window is displayed.
2. Run transaction `RZ11`. Specify the parameter name `sapgui/user_scripting` and press **Enter** on the keyboard or **Display** in the SAP interface.

3. In the **Display Profile Parameter Attributes** window, select the **Change Value** button on the toolbar and set the **New value** of `sapgui/user_scripting` to `TRUE`. Save the changes.

   :::note
   In case your organisation is using more than 1 instance of an SAP system, do not forget to activate the checkbox “Switch on all servers” to ensure a proper activation of SAP scripting across all servers.
   :::

Depending on the SAP server version, the following parameters may be set to **TRUE** by default. In this case, change their value to **FALSE**.

* `sapgui/nwbc_scripting`
* `sapgui/user_scripting_disable_recording`
* `sapgui/user_scripting_force_notification`
* `sapgui/user_scripting_per_user`
* `sapgui/user_scripting_set_readonly`
  :::important
  All changes to parameters in transaction `RZ11` are applied with immediate effect and are lost when the system restarts. For changes to be permanent, please contact your SAP System Administrator and use transaction `RZ10`.
  :::
  Log off, then log on again for the changes to take effect.

### On the Client Side

1. From the Main SAP Logon window, access the **File > Preferences** menu (on Windows) or **SAPGUI > Settings** (on Mac OS**)**.
2. Go to **Web AS ABAP** and click on **Scripting**.
3. Check the **Enable scripting** option.
4. Clear the checkboxes for the following options:
   * **Notify when an external script accesses SAP GUI**
   * **Notify when an external script attempts to open a connection**
5. Save the changes by clicking **OK**. The SAP GUI for Java scripting is now enabled.

## Enable Modal Dialog Boxes

Control (amodal) display options are not supported by SAP scripting. In this case, you must enable Dialog (modal) display options.

1. From the **SAP Easy Access** window, select **Settings** under the **Help** menu. The **Personal Settings for User** window is displayed.
2. Access the **F1 Help** tab and select the **in Modal Dialog Box** option from the **Display** section.
3. Access the **F4 Help** tab and select the **Dialog (modal)** option from the **Display** section.
4. Select the **Apply** button to save changes, and close the **Personal Settings for User** window.
      :::note
      This is a per-user setting. This configuration needs to be set for each client which creates a SAP automation. The default setting to Dialog (modal) for the entire system can be configured by the system administrator.

## Authorization Rights

The authorization rights verification or settings need to be performed only if the `sapgui/user_scripting_per_user` parameter is set to `True`.

SAP GUI Scripting is only available for those users that have the authorization for the `Execute(16)` action of the authorization object `S_SCR` in class `BC_A`.

Please speak to your SAP System Administrator and ensure that the user has appropriate authorization rights.
