Today, Let's deep dive into one of the most awaited SAP Web GUI Recorder features.

If you have not started with SAP Web GUI Recorder, visit Official Documentation and Blog post, and also watch this video to understand the working of Intelligent RPA Recorder.

Goal


The goal of this features is to enable recording of SAP GUI for HTML applications embedded inside S4HANA Iframe or Frame.

Currently, this feature is supported in all SAP GUI for HTML applications embedded inside S4HANA On-premise system. Support for S4HANA cloud system is coming soon.

What is an Iframe?


Iframe is in itself a complete web application but it is embedded or kept inside another web application. In simple words "iframe is a mechanism to display a web application/page within a web application/page".

If a web page contains an iframe, can be validated in one of the following ways

  1. If the web element you are looking for could not be found using the selectors or Xpaths.

  2. Open browser's developer tool (Control+Shift+I or Command+Option+I) and in the Execution Context Selector window, if you see option other than Top that means your page is containing iframe/s [see Image 1].
