Liquid UI - Documentation - 4.1 Configuring bot

4.1 Configuring bot


Virtually configuration necessary for Liquid UI bot is done in two files - the guixt.sjs file and the avatar.js file. The guixt.sjs file is clearly explained in the WS Reference Library - we will not fully cover it in this document. In essence, the guixt.sjs file contains the license and script directory information for bot while the avatar.js file contains the functions that make bot work - this file will be more fully explained in the avatar.js section below. To configure the bot, please do the following.

  1. Once you have installed and licensed bot as described above, navigate to the following directory
    C:\Program Files\Synactive Inc\FTE
  2. Open the guixt.sjs file and install the WS license in the guixt.sjs file as previously explained.
  3. In the guixt.sjs file, specify your script directory as shown in the following example. We are specifying that the bot should use the script directory 'C:\guixt'. You can specify up to four script directories - bot will search them in order of precedence with directory1 being the first to be searched.
    directory1 = "C:\\GuiXT\\"; 
    Note: Make sure to use double backspace separators between the path elements.
  4. Save your changes and close the guixt.sjs file.
  5. Open the avatar.js file and locate the following line that defines the SAP application server connection string. It should be located near the top of the file and appear as in the following example.
    const R3_SERVER_NAME = "/H/juneau";
  6. Replace the default SAP application server ("/H/juneau") with the name of the SAP application server to which you will connect. In our example, we are connecting to the server 'Juneau', so we will not change this line.
    Note: If you will be connecting through a SAPRouter or a message server, you may need to further edit the connection string. Please see the WS Reference Library for additional information on using connection strings.
  7. Save your changes and close the avatar.js file.
  8. Bot should now be configured and ready to run. The next step is to ensure that everything is working correctly by running bot. Please proceed to the Running bot section below.
