Applies to:
SAP EHP2 FOR SAP NETWEAVER 7.0 SP10
SAP NETWEAVER 7.3 SP5
How to use
In new EP versions there is a parameter on the SAP Transaction iView that allows you to concatenate these values named:
"Additional parameters to start SAP GUI". It's a property on the iView under the category "Content - Transaction"
To add more than one parameter you will need to separate the values with " /" (space and then slash).
For example: UPDOWNLOAD_CP=8000 /SOMETHING_ELSE=2000.
Great, What should I do if I've got an older portal version?
If you have an older portal version there is a workaround you can use:
1. Download the par – "com.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap"
2. Unpack it and find the file – "WinGuiRenderLayer.properties"
Under the folder: "PORTAL-INF\property\Transaction"
3. In this file you need to make some changes:
4.In line #44 - after:
gui="<ConnectionString><ConnectionParams>"
You can add (inside the brackets) your parameter separated by " /" (space and slash)
It should look like:
-gui="<ConnectionString><ConnectionParams> /UPDOWNLOAD_CP=????"... (line continues...)
(???? is your code page)
5. Do the same in line #51 after
GuiParm=<ConnectionString><ConnectionParams> (before the \r\n).
6. Make sure you don't delete anything – just adding.
7. Save and redeploy the PAR file (using the archive uploader).
Important notes
This workaround is NOT upgrade safe. Any deployment of a new PAR/SDA might override your changes. Therefore, this workaround is not recommended and not supported by SAP – use it with care.
