Hello Dirk,
Hope you are doing well.
When I try to record simulation I have following error message:
An error has occurred in the script on this page.
Line: 1304
Characters/mark: 25
The “macros” property of an undefined or null reference cannot be called.
URL:file:///C:/XXXXXXXX/macroset/standard/lesson_view_common.js
Do you want scripts on this page to continue running?
Can you please recommend how to solve this error or where to search for more details?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Yury
First, make sure you have all the latest resources – synchronize / update from Server. Then, if you’re using a Template make sure there’s nothing corrupted in that (empty macros, etc.). Does it happen for all users, or just you? If just you, you may want to (Finish Editing everything, then) delete your local Producer Workarea and recreate it. If it happens every time for every user with a brand new (empty) simulation, you may need to open an incident with SAP.
Hello Dirk!
Is it possible for the test mode of a simulation in SAP Companion to show the results?
Because when I launch a test mode from a simulation in SAP Companion it doesn’t show me the results, however when I launch a test mode from the learning content from sap gui help, it does show me the test results.
Interesting; I had no idea it didn’t show the result if you launched it from Companion. You mean from the Learning page or from the Learning Center? If from the Learning page, why would you launch Test Mode from there?? It’s designed for in-app help. From the Learning Center I’d assumed it would work the same way as via the Trainer (as it’s all just in-browser), but I’ll have to do some testing.
Yes, from the Learning Center it is the same as through the Trainer.
Dirk, another question, when I recorded a guided tour in SAP GUI in a specific environment (DEV), the context field was filled, but when I recorded another guided tour in another environment (QAS) in SAP GUI, the context field was not filled, what should I do?
Clearly some setting different in the systems. Do you have the same problem when recording simulations? My guess is that scripting is not enabled in QAS.
Hello Dirk,
one of my team member is facing one issue.
whenever he create a project, a pop up comes saying ‘parent object can not be edited, so the project will be saved in unsorted..
please help.
also while moving project from unsorted to root group, it says that you need write token permission.
kindly help in this
Where is he trying to create an object? I’d hazard a guess at Root, as that is causing your second problem. Basically, the Group he is trying to create the simulation in is already checked out for editing by someone else. You can see who, in Manager. Get that person to Finish Editing (or Cancel Editing yourself) and then you should be able to create / move content into it. Note that Groups are also objects, and you need to be able to Start Editing before you can change them (including adding/removing child objects), and should Finish Editing when you have finished working in them.
Hey Dirk, solutions you suggested are already checked, still unable to edit. It asks for write token. Even ‘start editing’ option is not coming in producer editor.
You’re using an on-premise version of SAP Enable Now? And if you look in Manager nothing is checked out for editing? (Check the Objects in Editing report) If it is not being edited at the moment, but it won’t let you edit it, then something somewhere is corrupted – open an incident with SAP. But again, my suspicion is that someone has Started Editing and not Finished Editing.
Hello Dirk,
I need to do mass change of texts in bubble like highlighting all the bubble texts at once.
can I do that?
If you’re looking for a global find/replace of text, there isn’t one in SAP Enable Now out of the box. If you want to be able to select all Bubbles within a simulation for some other reason, you can use the Edit > Select Macros by Type feature – although any text changes would apply to all of them.
Hello Dirk,
While deleting my custom document from documentation settings, I’m getting following error
“There is nothing to remove for your selected objects because they contain the following: Objects marked as Must Have”
kindly help.
See here.
Hello Dirk.
I want table of contents as default in my training document. Can we set it?
Also what is the significance of ‘Fragments’ in documentation settings?
See https://enablenowexpert.com/?p=170.
Hello Dirk,
Can you tell me whether we can share simulation link with others?
can anyone access it?
You can share links to simulations, but the recipient must have an ID on the SAP Enable Now system (and therefore license) to display it.
hello dirk. I’m unable to access my toolbox in the producer workarea. what could be the reasons?
also one of our standard author is facing issue. whenever he tries to create a project, system is taking him to unsorted and not allowing him to edit in root group. why so?
(1) You mean you can’t see it, or you can’t edit content in it? If you can’t see it, maybe you’re not synchronizing it? Look under Unsorted, and/or Server Workarea > Check Out Objects. There’s no reason why only that one Group would not be visible…
(2) Probably because Root is already being edited by someone else. If you try to create an object in a Group, the first thing it does is try to Start Editing on the Group. If it can’t then it will create the object in Unsorted instead.
not able to see it even after all suggested steps.
Wait, are you sure you’re on about the Toolbox (which is optional but usually created by the installer) or Resources – which absolutely MUST be there. If you are missing Resources, just go to menu option View > Workarea Details > Show Resources. If you really mean Toolbox, check if it is there in Manager, and if it is, re-synch.
Hi Dirk,
My question is how will learner users see SAP Companion from the SAP GUI? Because from Help -> Learning Content only display the context help.
Hi Dirk,
I am trying to create a connected workarea. In Connect to Workarea on Manager pop-up box what should be entered in the Username field? Is it a fixed term “Customer” or something else? Where should I get the Username from?
Use a Username of customer, and leave the Password field blank.
I have used the term “Customer” in Username. It says connection to remote workarea is not ready yet. Do I have to enter my client’s name in Username field? I am confused. Please help.
No, just “customer”. Have patience. Sometimes it can take a while (like, several hours) as there is a LOT of content.
Thank you so much Dirk.
