QUESTION POSED ON: 25 November 2003
Hi, When I launch SAPGUI from a command line with ...&user &passs and &trans filled in I just get the login screen (even though the login and p/w are in the launch command line). What am I doing wrong?

EXPERT RESPONSE
You need to use SAPSHCUT for this. Maybe you're using SAPGUI.exe instead, which will not accept the username and password as parameters.
You need to pass these parameters:
-sysname = entry name in SAPLogon
-client = client number
-user = user ID
-pw = password (in plain text)

Optionally, you can pass parameter -command to execute a transaction upon logon.

See example below:
sapshcut -sysname=SAP
Production -client=000 -user=sap* -pw=06071992 -command=SM04
