General Topics

You can store GuiXT scripts, images (gif, jpg) and InputScripts in the  "SAP MIME Repository", SAP transaction SE80. This has the following advantages:

  • The MIME Repository supports the versioning of all files
  • The files are stored in hierarchically organized folders
  • There is a tool (ABAP program BSP_UPDATE_MIMEREPOS) for mass import and export from/to local folders.
  • The file access can be done via http or WebDAV, in addition to the RFC (Remote Function Call) based access that is used by GuiXT.

Using the notation SAPMR: in the same way as SAPWR: you can specify files and folders in the SAP MIME Repository in GuiXT scripts and GuiXT profile. Examples:

// GuiXT Profile
Directory1     SAPMR:SAP/BC/BSP/SAP/GUIXT

//Script
Image (toolbar)    SAPMR:SAP/BC/BSP/SAP/GUIXT/ICONS/help.gif
