SAP - Mac vs Windows setup

I'm using the SAP GUI for JAVA on a Mac computer. My colleague sent me the information on how to connect:

However, the Mac UI looks completely different:

Where can I find the screen to add a connection like on Windows? Thank you!

Solution

  • In my experience, you need to use the Advanced settings of SAP GUI for Java on the Mac to connect. Go to Advanced and check Expert mode.

    Then enter your connection string as:

    conn=/H/<saprouter>/W/<saprouter password>/H/<host>/S/<port like 3270>

    In your example I'm guessing:

    conn=/M/<host>/G/<group like SPACE>

    You may need to add the service number like:

    conn=/M/<host>/S/<service number like 4201>/G/<group like SPACE>
