Important
issues to note:
MACINTOSH:
1) The new SAP logon for the Macintosh uses a new launch
pad. Choose the environment you need and click the Connect button.
(You will be prompted for your Kerberos username and password
if you do not have Kerberos tickets already.)
2) Screen Prints: In previous versions of the SAPgui,
it was possible to print the contents of an SAP screen. In the
new SAPgui, the command-P print screen function is no longer available
on the Macintosh platform. For printing hard copies of SAP data
or documents, the preferred method has always been printing the
related reports and look-ups which are designed for formatted
print output. See the Reports section of the SAP
for MIT Documentation on the Web.
If you want to take pictures of your screen, you can use the
Mac OS screen capture function. This function creates a picture
file (e.g., "Picture 0") and saves it either on your
startup disk (your Macintosh hard disk) or to the clipboard. It
is recommended that you insert the picture file into a Microsoft
Word (or similar) document to print so that the entire image will
fit on the page.
The Mac OS help provides instructions for taking pictures of
your screen:
3) The recommended screen resolution for using SAP with
the new SAPgui is 1024 by 768 pixels. You can set this resolution
in the in the Control Panels>>Monitors. (If you choose
a lower resolution, you will need to scroll more often in the
SAP screens.)
4) Memory problems have been experienced when using SAP
while numerous other applications are open. It is best to limit
the number of other applications you have open while using SAP.
Also, additional SAP sessions will draw memory resources from
your system, and will not free the reserved memory until you quit
SAP (even if extra SAP sessions are closed).
5) The system information area is on the bottom right
corner of each SAP session screen.
6) The Macintosh menu no longer provides the Window menu
for SAP.
7) To log out of SAP, follow the SAP menu path System>>Log
off. Logging out this way quits the SAPgui for you. If you
use the Macintosh menu to quit before logging out, you will not
get the confirmation box for logging out of SAP.
WINDOWS:
1) The new SAP logon for Windows offers a new launch pad.
Under the Start button, choose Programs>>SAP Frontend>>SAP-Logon.
Double-click the environment you need. (You will need to get Kerberos
tickets before logging onto SAP.)
2) When you first log onto SAP on your PC, the command
field in the toolbar does not appear. Click the toggle arrow to
the left of the Save button to open the command field. The command
field will remain open in successive logons unless you toggle
it closed again.
3) When you first log onto SAP on your PC, the system
information area in the status bar does not appear. Click the
toggle arrow in the right bottom corner of the SAP session window
to open it. The system information area will remain open in successive
logons unless you toggle it closed again. (The system information
area is now located at the bottom right corner of each SAP session
screen.)
4) The icons for minimizing, maximizing, and quitting
the window may be difficult to see on the title bar of the SAP
window. The buttons are still there in the usual place. When you
pass your mouse over them, they will brighten.
5) The recommended screen resolution for using SAP with
the new SAPgui is 1024 by 768 pixels. You can set this resolution
in the "Display Properties" control panel, under the
"Settings" tab. (If you choose a lower resolution, you
will need to scroll more often in the SAP screens.)
Change your font size: You make the fonts larger or smaller
in your SAP screens. When you use the recommended screen resolution,
you can still make the fonts larger and more readable. To change
the size of the fonts in your SAP screens, use the SAPgui Settings
button 
in the PC Task Bar (usually at the bottom, right corner of the
PC screen).
