Issue with scripting activation on SAP and replace it by SAP Build process automation

Help Something Else
1

Hello everyone,

I’m facing an issue because i want to implement UiPath and SAP automation in my new enterprise but SAP admin refuses to activate scripting on SAP GUI for security reason (and it seems non negociable :slight_smile: )

So i’m looking for an other way to catch selector on interface. I tested CV activities but it’s good for a small automation but i’m afraid it will be awful to maintain when i will have a lot of robots.

SAP BAPI is too complicated to implement for some of the use-case i have. And SAP Fiori will be implemented in more than one year so i also can’t use this..

So i begin to look at SAP Build Process Automation, Foundation Add-On by UiPath. It seems to be an add-on to activate on SAP side but i don’t think i can interact with UiPath Studio and SAP ECC on premise.. is someone ever used this solution ? because it looks like you can’t do advanced automation like you can do in UiPath Studio..

Anyway i’m looking for a way to interact with SAP GUI interface with UiPath studio without using computer vision and without activate scripting. If someone have an idea it would be great because i don’t have anymore :slight_smile:

Thank you,
Regards,
Guillaume

@guillaume.cabanes2

scripting is the basic and the first requirement you have to interact with elements either via UiPath or using a sap native vbscript as well

coming to another way as you tried it is only CV or image based automations that you need to look at

Thank you for your answer,

My SAP admin refuses to activate the scripting, do you know what security issue it can cauze and if we can restrict the rights to make it more secure please ?

Thank you,
