Easiest way to get the jar file for Java mapping

Document Objective: To get the required Java mapping .jar files.

There are some methods already discussed in this blog that I have seen on scn to get the Java mapping .jar files.

Sometime due to restricted access to the SAP installation server one is not able to get the file and have to request it from the Basis team.

The second method which tells how to get the files from Java Webstart local files makes us to navigate through a lot of folder.

I found one more method that I would like to share –

Below are the steps that one can follow and get the .jar file –

Step 1: Open the Java Control Panel

On the Java control panel, navigate to the General tab and in the Temporary Internet file part click on the view button.

Step 2: Getting the server link for the .jar files

Next we need to select Resources next to Show drop down list and below Name column find the .jar file name

Next we will copy the server path for the .jar file, so we can use the link and download the .jar file directly from the server using the login user id and password.

In above image we can see the .jar file and next to it the url for that.

We can use this url to download the .jar file.

P.S. For this method to work you must have opened your ESR atleast once so that the Java cache can log that in its cache.
