SAP - Mac vs Windows setup - macos

I'm using the SAP GUI for JAVA on a Mac computer. My colleague sent me the information on how to connect:
However, the Mac UI looks completely different:
Where can I find the screen to add a connection like on Windows? Thank you!

In my experience, you need to use the Advanced settings of SAP GUI for Java on the Mac to connect. Go to Advanced and check Expert mode.
Then enter your connection string as:
conn=/H/<saprouter>/W/<saprouter password>/H/<host>/S/<port like 3270>
In your example I'm guessing:
conn=/M/<host>/G/<group like SPACE>
You may need to add the service number like:
conn=/M/<host>/S/<service number like 4201>/G/<group like SPACE>

Your colleague has sent you a screenshot from the SAP GUI for Windows, not from the SAP GUI for Java (which would also run on Windows, but the SAP GUI for Windows doesn't run on Mac OS, of course).
Obviously the screens for both SAP GUIs are slightly different.
But you already found the screen for creating a new connection.
I don't see what is your issue here with interpreting and transferring the logon data from one screen to the other? The field labels are nearly the same.

Guacamole RDP Control+C/Command+C doesn't work from MacOS

I'm prototyping using Apache Guacamole for brokering RDP connections.
The tech stack works really well, however, I'm hitting a usability issue in regaurds to running a Mac and trying to send hot keys like Control+C/Command+C and them not working.
Per Guac's docs, this seems to be inline with what they expect, as they don't do any "curtesy" remapping that other RDP managers on Mac (Microsoft Remote Desktop, RDS HTML5 Client, etc) do.
My question is has anyone found a customization or workaround to allow Mac->Win keymapping through Guacemole HTMl5 interface?
I'm not sure its a none starter, but it is extremly difficult to use windows with nearly no keyboard shortcuts :).
Thanks!
On my mac I use BetterTouchTool to get around this issue. It's not great though because your guacamole will still register the original keypresses from time to time. I have been looking for a workaround as well and have thus far not been able to find one :/.

How can i automate VT 500 terminal mainframe application using UFT

I have to automate a mainframe application which is present on VT500 terminal using UFT. I just want to know
Is it possible?
what all is required with UFT( Any plugin/Addons).
Also please share the steps.
UFT has a Terminal Emulator add-on but I'm not sure if it supports VT500, in the PAM (Product Availability Matrix) it says that VT100 is supported but no mention of VT500. You can read more about it here.
Rational Functional Tester supports 3270 terminal interfaces. VT100 is considered a "dumb terminal", as it has one plane of data. 3270 is a richer terminal, and for proper testing, you should connect via 3270, rather than VT100.

How to simulate the behavior of a remote desktop without showing the screen

I should make a program that simulates the behavior of a remote desktop but without showing the screen of the server to the client.
I can use any programming language, but the client must be on Android mobile device and the server's operating system must be Windows.
I do not know how to Start. I was thinking about two possibilities:
1- Use a socket. But the difficulty was to give commands outside of the programming environment.
2- Use a rdp already done but turn off the display screen (setting is not present in the rdp I know). Who can help me?
Thank you

forwarding windows applications to linux

I'm looking to implement a solution to forward Windows applications to a Linux box.
XMing will let me do the reverse - ie: forward Linux applications to a Windows box.
The wikipedia article for RDP claims that something like this is supported but I couldn't find anything in the API.
To avoid confusion, I am not looking to share the entire desktop. If you have 2 applications running on a Windows host, I'd like the Linux client to be able to see and interact with both applications irrespective of whether they are minimized or overlapping on the Windows host.
Any pointers to existing open source software would also be much appreciated!
I think you should check out seamlessRDP (http://www.cendio.com/seamlessrdp/) and rdesktop (www.rdesktop.org)
Guide on how to use them together

I think this should go to the superuser side too.

Windows hangs during headless build

We are trying to automate a build of one of our products which includes a step where it packages some things with WISE. At one point WISE pops up a window with a progress bar on it to show how it is doing. If one is connected to the machine with remote desktop the build works fine but if one is not connected the build stalls until you reconnect at which point the window opens and the build progresses. Does anybody know of a work around for this? Some way of tricking windows into believing that there is a desktop session connected?
Sorry for yet another guess - but I had a problem with a wise installer locking up. It was because WISE had installed a "font" and so broadcast a "system config changed" message. My DELL had a Dell utility running on it that had a message queue it wasn't reading from so the broadcast locked up the installer. WISE made a new version for me that did an async broadcast instead to fix the problem. It's possible that there's an app on your system that doesn't bother reading its msg queue when there is no desktop.
Finally the answer: check you have the latest patches for your WISE installer. In particular, look for patches that fix lock-ups related to the windowing system.
What version are you using? Looking at the feature set, it looks like their "std" version might be limited. Perhaps unattended installs require the Pro version?
That's just a guess....
Regardless, I wonder whether you could simply code up an auto-run task for the box that calls
CreateDesktop to pretend there's an interactive login?
I found a CreateDesktop example
that's about desktop switching, and an example about unattended installs -- you might be able to use one of them as a starting point to "fake out" WISE :)
It might be worth a try...
