Note
• If the server administrator edits the application server profile of the SAP system to include sapgui/user_scripting = TRUE, scripting is enabled by default when the server is restarted.
• SAP provides an option to change the network connection mode to any server. The two connection modes available are, High Speed Connection (LAN) and Low Speed Connection. Although, Functional Tester works in both the modes, a script recorded using High Speed Connection plays back only in that mode. This is true for the other modes as well. You must play back you SAP script in the same network connection mode that you recorded with. High Speed Connection mode is recommended as it gives more valid recognition properties.
• If the recording is possible but the playback is greyed out. You’ll need to adjust the parameter sapgui/user_scripting_disable_recording = FALSE
