SAP GUI client setup

note

Intelligent Automation Cloud Business enables you to automate the SAP GUI client like any standard desktop application, inspecting UI elements, locating their selectors, and using them in your scripts.

tip

For environment setup and further automation, we recommend to use SAP GUI v. 7.40 and and SAP GUI v. 7.50.

Before you start working with SAP GUI, make sure to enable scripting and set up the application server.

We recommend to use either Blue Crystal or Classical UI themes for better SAP GUI automation when using the Window action.
