Eclipse ABAP Development: Unable to Get Connection Configuration

Question

I installed ABAP development tools on Eclipse 4.2 and Kubuntu 12.04 64 bit, and everything went fine.

When I try to create a new ABAP project and look for configured SAP connections in the SAP GUI (I have an SAP GUI for Java 7.30 rev 3) Eclipse shows the following error:

"Configuration not found in settings file" /home/dfabbri/.SAPGUI/settings ", including" null "and message server" null "

I checked that the file '/home/dfabbri/.SAPGUI/settings' is present and not empty; here is the content:

############################################################ # # file : /home/dfabbri/.SAPGUI/settings # created : 08.05.2012 12:42:08 CEST # encoding: UTF-8 # ############################################################ @logonFrameY = "83" @logonFrameX = "137" @GLF_showDetailCol = "1" @GLF_ColumnState = "0 / 75" @logonFrame_2_X = "970" @logonFrame_2_Y = "241" @frameWidth = "778" @frameHeight = "900" @logonFrame_2_Width = "348" @logonFrame_2_Height = "451" @lookAndFeelDefault = "Tradeshow" @propFont = "Roboto Cn" @fixedFont = "Ubuntu Mono" @labelFont = "Roboto" @genFont = "Roboto Cn" @forceLongWindowTitle = "true" @showListboxKeyAlways = "true" @listboxSortByKey = "true" @overwrite = "false" 

Does anyone have any suggestions on this issue?

I tried on a Windows virtual machine and everything went fine.

Answer 1

I understand that this is a really old question, but just in case you still have this problem (I’m always on my computer) add the following two entries to the end of this settings file:

 @INCLUDE = "file:///home/dfabbri/.SAPGUI/connections" @MESSAGESERVER = "file:///home/dfabbri/.SAPGUI/message_servers" 

Then create the two files above in this path (the connections should already be there), message_servers may be empty. Hope this helps.
